That pump is the one I just sent back.
For the Onan, I ordered this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00..._prd_ttl_sol_6
I will try this one on the Yam first, we leave on the trip very soon so I need something. If I can get the Onan going, I will re mount it.
Thanks Nate!

I'm curious how that Airtex works out for you. If it works good, maybe I'll get that one for my backup one then.

The Airtex works the Onan, plenty of flow. I am still having fueling issues, the carb will come of for a good cleaning next.
The AirTex fuels the Yamaha a bit too much even at 1/2 lb pressure.
I mess with it after our upcoming bus trip, for now it's the Yam on the ground and cabled to the bus.

Installed a Planar diesel air heater today. 14k btu, like a little jet engine when it spools up and gets HOT!
Need to fab some fuel tank brackets for a permanent solution. 7L fuel=14 hrs on high thrust.

The Planar has been working very well. With outside temps of 30-40 it uses about 1 gal. per 24 hrs.

So where are you at with the genset saga? My Onan runs great after I rebuilt the carb. Parts are almost impossible to find and if you do, expensive. I had to make some small round gaskets out of leather.
I had contemplated the same Yamaha as well.

I did clean the carb and reinstalled with no start...Even with test fuel so I need to address the ignition. I have new plugs, points and cond. but the coil is suspect. I like the Yamaha a lot, very quiet and enough power for our needs. I would like to fabricate an exhaust extension though.

I have a manual for a BFA 4.0 if thats what you have and if you need it. Points on those are a bugger, plus the little plunger thing can get worn out too.
I dont need much power either. Biggest we do is a college dorm type fridge. I have a Champion 4.0 that is a little quieter than the Onan. Starts first pull too, no fuss. I love the Onan, until its cold and I have to fiddle with it. I dont want a diesel.
My deal with the Yamaha was having enough fuel capacity without spending another chunk of money to make it work.

Understood on the fuel volume thing. I'm adding a spare 15 gallon tank to feed my Honda EU3000.

Finally built my spare tire holder. It looks low but it's higher than the front axle.

I have the EM600, absolutely love it!
The automatic choke is a PITA though, i will probably convert it to a manual one in the spring.

Spare is mounted.
Went with the Pinnella remote kit with a pulse pump. Now I can pump from my onboard 10 gallon gas tank with the genny 1 gal. for reserve.
Charge!!!! /\/\/\/\/\/\/\-

The Pinnella kit worked flawlessly, running the gen twice a day for a 1/2hr. to heat water.

Added an auto transfer switch to our elec. system. Used to just leave the fridge on batts./inv. even when plugged in, now it's on 120v automatically and back to batts. when off grid.
