Gen wont run?
Gen runs but quits?
What?
Recently on two different RV's where Gen would run but quit. Both belong so sons in laws. First Travel trailer toy hauler. The fuel tank was about 25 feet from the generator and the fuel pump is located at the generator. A second fuel pump was added near the fuel tank. Second is a class C MH. Same issue. Gen would quit if the motorhome was going up hill or of it was parked slightly up hill. In this case, the installed fuel pump was relocated to near the tank. Both now run flawlessly. I believe on the MH, it was actually vapor locking because if the long suction line to the tank, high heat and 3 high points in the fuel line.
Correct, I did not explain the problem. Was trying to see if there was any type of fuel flow test. Apparently not, but good response to check if fuel is being pushed through hose. Mine is running rough after about 2 min under load. If it were an old 60's car, sounds like maybe spark plug wire.
This weekend going to borrow the neighbors carb (same model) to see his does the same thing.
On yours, just a thought...make certain fuel cap didn't get some road grime in vent hole on gas cap. Testing... First I would use without gas cap being on, just to see if yours is a venting problem. Second test would be new fuel line hose if your hose now is old or getting weak and in hot weather hose might be collapsing.
