Gen shuts off unless “Start” held down
Hello All,
I have a 1999 Winnebago Minnie WF 331C and it has a Cummins Onan Model # FKY FA26100H generator that has 316 hours on it.
Issue:
Fuel pump ONLY has current when “Stop/Start” toggle is held down in the “Start” position.
In other words, the generator runs fine as long as I hold the “Stop/Start rocker switch in the Start position. I can even run it long enough for it to warm up.
As soon as I let go of the start switch power to the electric fuel pump is cut off.
I pulled the fuel line at the carburetor and fuel quantity and quality is fine but ONLY when the toggle is in the start position. NO fuel is being pumped when toggle is in the center (run) OR left “stop” position.
I have been reading a lot about this generator and researching troubleshooting docs and videos.
I am aware of oil level sensitivities…. Current oil level is at 1/4 on dipstick when cap is screwed in.
I am aware of vehicle gasoline fuel level sensitivities… Motorhome fuel tank is FULL.
Thanks in advance (Smile)
