Well, thanks so much for the responses. All good suggestions. I will indeed try letting it pull gas from a container right up next to it. That will be the easiest first trial. The gen is electrically fed from the motorhomes main 12v system, which indeed has plenty of volts. As far as pulling a solenoid wire (I presume to kill the starter), I'll have to investigate that one. I'm at a place (the Mobile park) where there could be lots of qualified helpers if I can't figure that one out on my own. I must admit that I am a piano player and not a mechanic, but on the other hand, I have been a Ham Radio Operator for the past 55 years also, so I'm not totally electrically disadvantaged.
Also, does anyone have any ideas about what shows in the picture... which I presume is a fuel pump only? It does not look like the drawings in my manual - which I have all of originals - operators, installers, and parts/service. I do not believe there is a fuel filter anywhere near it either. The link I gave did not make a clickable link in my original message, but highlighting it and pasting it into a browser will indeed take one to a picture.
Thanks again folks.... I'll keep you posted, although it might not be for a few days that I get back to it. Wish me luck.
