It is best to prime for about 30 seconds before starting if it sets in the hot sun for over a week. If it sits for three weeks the a 45 second prime is necessary. The thought is the carb bowl dries out and the gas drains back into the tank so 20 ft away when it sits for too long.

Thanks, now we are getting somewhere as you have just confirmed that it truly is out of gas condition which is what Onan says. So one that has this issue could run there genset before setting AGS to AUTO Mode and it will work just fine over next several days
Still does not explain why I can go so long without an issue; so I just go outside and measure the distance from my genny's fuel pump to the gas tank. It is 30" compared to what you are saying is 20ft? So maybe that is factor for why I have NEVER had to use the Prime feature? I once went 2 months without using the Genny when it was at a Dealer last year. 3 - 5 secs to start with no prime is all I have experienced tops.
