Generator wont start or run was created by renegade
Everything checks out, No fuel to carb, changed the fuel pump just to make sure it was not a problem still not getting fuel. Do I have a pin hole in a fuel line?? I can find no wet spots in the lines. Tank is 3/4 full. MH is a 1993 Bounder 34j (gas) Generator is an Onan 7000 any and all help appreciated.

Last fall, I have been fighting with it when I can spend the time all summer.
In July of last year it ran from Indianapolis back to Ohio with no problems. Then in August it was a hit and miss thing, thats what made me think the pump was getting weak. I've blown out the fuel line and all seems correct. If the storms stop I will try and see if I can hook up an outside tank from an old mower and see if it will run. I am just out of ideas on this..

Fuel is new less the 60 days. Fuel filter at the carb changed .
There is no fuel in the line from the fuel tank to the generator.
I can remove that line from the carb and no fuel will come out even after leaving it off for an hour or better. If I blow back through the line I can hear the air in the tank.
I can spray fuel into the carb and the unit will run. I don't know if the tank pick up is top of tank or bottom of tank and maybe rusted off. I still lean to the hole in the supply line but don't have the experience in this type of a problem.. I will look to see if there is a second or primary filter in line some were. Compleat tune up done 2 years ago, oil changed when problems first started.

You know I keep saying line to carb but my bad and I am sorry the line from the tank to the pump is dry the pump is not picking up any fuel from the tank. I am sorry about the misleading info just too much on my mind this week.
