You don't need to Prime unless the Generator is out of Gas? I have only primed my Onan 5500 once, and that was right after they installed the AGS on the inside and I was verifying the Prime function would work with new Controller (It did). My Onan 5500 starts every time in 3 -5 secs of pushing the START button; just like the Manual says.
Also, for the record; if Priming were necessary, as he is Starting from Genset; so you do not use the Start & OFF position switch on the remote rather the STOP / PRIME side of the toggle switch on the physical genset; my Manual says to hold the Prime for 30 seconds; but we don't want to confuse the OP who is simply trying to debug at the moment.
