Onan 4000 generator cranks but won't start
Hi all, I have a 2015 Cummins Onan RV QG 4000 generator. It has somewhere between 300-1000hrs (not sure, I've only owned it for about 2 years and it was a previous rental...might not be the origin...

Did you try spraying starter fluid into the intake while it's cranking? If it starts and runs a few seconds you probably have a fuel delivery problem.
Thanks for the suggestion. Please help me understand how to implement your suggestion...
I assume the "intake" (carb?) is basically where the air filter is sitting, right? So would I remove the air filter and then spray starter fluid in there while cranking? The way the air filter housing is situated, I cannot see inside there so that will make it a bit challenging.
I guess something like this would work?

Does it usually come with some sort of straw so that I could get it in closer to where the carb is (...the air filter housing is probably 4-5 inches deep).
I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
Any other suggestions?
