I also have a hard starting problem with my gen on my 2014 3051s have not gotten a fuel smell in side yet but RV is in storage for winter so can't get serial number to phone Onan. Any other causes for hard starting you know of?

No, Cummins/Onan will increase the fuel pressure to help with hard start but with the increase of fuel pressure comes fuel seeping out of fuel pump gaskets. I have an Onan 4K in my older Class C and never had a problem until I bought my 2013 Forester. Unfortunately Cummins/Onan will not replace the fuel pump until it starts leaking fuel or will not start because of the fuel pump. Contact your local Cummins/Onan dealer; they might take care of your problem because of all the attention this issue has been getting.

They also replaced my carburetor, because of slow starting.

This what i found on a onan parts web site. The new part number is 149-2311-01 which supersedes 149-2311-00 and 149-2311
If you look into your generator and can manage to see the white label on the pump you can see if you have the new pump or not.
I pick up my 2014 3171ds later this week and have been searching the net for any issues to have addressed prior to leaving on our zigzag trip from coast to coast.

How many times do you have to prime before it starts? Mine takes from three to five times on first start after not using for a couple weeks.

I just started mine after sitting for one month. I primed it once and it cranked about 10-15 seconds before starting. But, my RV is located in South, Florida and the temperatures here are mild. My unit a new carburetor and replacement fuel pump installed.

Frank,

Great info, and when I pick up my Forester
in May that will be one of the items to
check.

Thanks again for the heads up

Onan 2013 & 2014

No, it is a problem with Onan 2013 & 2014 gasoline generators.

Has anybody replaced one off these fuel pumps themselves? I'm thinking it would be more convenient to buy the part and do it myself rather than pack up and drive an hour away, leave it for days and then go back and get it.

Btw, I was told by the factory rep that the new pumps have a "TH" designation.

Delivered my 2014 to a local Oman Cummings repair center yesterday. My fuel pump could not be heard running.

Ensure they install the new modified fuel pump. I would also ask them to replace the fuel filter too!

My fuel filter recently failed on my 2013 RV. They said it was very rusted and was not covered.

So, my fuel pump, fuel filter and carburetor have now been replaced on a 2013 model.

2013 3051 Generator Fuel Pump Leaking

They clearly have an issue. I have a 2014. Each time the fuel pump fails, I am assured the new model number was used to replace it under warranty. Well, my 4th pump just went out, just turned 40hrs. on the gen set. My year warranty just expired. I will give them an opportunity to make it right, but still don't have much confidence in the unit. I won't ever consider dry camping for any length of time with it for sure.

Should be a two year warranty, fuel filter not covered even if it fails.
