This is exactly what the Cummins tech told me. When we first picked up our Axis the genny ran great. Then on our first trip it quit somewhere along the road. Turns out that Onan/Cummins have a fuel pump issue with some of their more recent genny's (took him about 15 minutes to swap out the pump).
The tech told me a few things about genny:
- Always run it: if your main engine is running, run the genny
- Over winter run it about once a month with a load so that the secondaries open up in the carb
So now I run it either with a small heater like FW28z does, or use another novel way to get a load:
