Onan hot hot hot
I had trouble with my gennie dying for years. I spent a couple thousand at CW, they called in onan twice, kept it for many months. I pulled the fuel pump and replaced it. Runs great. I drove 200 miles...

So I ran my sheet metal deflector this weekend, it did help. Temp was high 80's, high humidity with no shade. Generator ran for approximately 2.5-3 hours and then shut down. Took off front cover and scorching hot. Again opened small bolt on fuel bowl, no fuel in bowl. Touched fuel pump, and it is much cooler than before. The area that is under generator where intake cavity is, is much cooler using the deflector. But we are still either vapor locking or control board is getting too hot and shutting off fuel flow. Next plan is to heat tape rubber fuel line where it passes right next to the exhaust side of the generator. When doing some additional testing, the right side of the generator(exhaust side) is where the most extreme heat is coming from while running.(of course that makes sense) And that is where the fuel line connects. In fact the connection of the fuel line is literally a couple inches from the exhaust pipe as it drops down thru the bottom of the generator. Will have to try to get a picture of it with cover off.
