The Tiger's Onan 2800 had stalled twice after hours-long runs in hot weather. I'd heard a clicking as it died and upon trying to restart it coming thru the wall right where the fuel pumps is the last time.
So about 10 days ago, I pulled the generator out all by myself (a 2X8 ramp sure helped!), bought a fuel pump, and installed it. I'd wanted to improve the installation a bit (center it up to get it away from the bathroom wall, and improve the sound insulation) since I bought it new. It took about 8-9 days of spare time tinkering, partly because Onan Spartanburg sold me the wrong pump the first time (Aaarghh!), and partly because of the dam'd rain.
But I got it done Friday AM (ramp again!), gave it a short test run, and now I'm just waiting for a good hot day when I'm free to give it a long test run.
