To be more clear, I had the genset serviced the second week of April 2015 by Cummins/Onan factory facility. I left for the summer a week later. From then to when I got back in Oct, I put on 60+ hours on the generator pretty much evenly spaced. It was well exercised at least once per week - which is more than the working digit was :B I will check the oil when I get back to the storage facility as I was not aware that there is some sort of low oil level cut off switch.
...but I'd still suggest you use the one working digit to start your genset more frequently. And, check that oil!

Westend, I'm pleased to let you know that I only have 9 thumbs as I have worked real hard over the decades to exercise and retain my right hand middle finger.

One thing to check on the pump - push and hold your start button to the off/prime position, and listen for clicking from the pump after about 5 seconds. If you have no clicking sounds, the pump has probably failed.
I understand the prime function which you describe is not universal among the Onan 4KY generator sets. I'm not sure if it's a matter of what year the generator was made, or if it's an option from the factory, or what. I do know that mine has no prime function (and I rather wish that it did), but operates just fine without any evident fuel pump issues.
