Near the end of my recent three month 9,000 mile adventure my generator started shutting down on its own. The stuff I could see on the dash all looked good - temperatures and pressures. Well there is always the possibility of fuel issues so first shot in the dark would be both the fuel/water separator, and the fuel filter. Man that separator was expensive to purchase on the road. I replaced them and followed the directions for priming. Thank you Newell for the priming switch right there at the filters.
I was almost happy when they would not prime. Now I had a plausible reason for the shutdowns. I emailed Tom for a quick hint on the fuel pump I might need, but his generator is totally different from mine - why aren't any two of these Newells alike - but I digress.
I got a part number from the fuel pump on my Kholer/Yanmar generator as the pump was by Carter. I was unable to match that older part number exactly, but after much reading and research I decided it now cross to a P4389. I placed an order with Jegs and was happy to see free shipping, and then sad to see like $12 in handling fees
When the pump arrived it appeared to be an exact replacement to me and once installed I cracked the bleed screen on the filter housing and turned the switch. Jumped for joy when the fuel came squirting out at me. All is well for now. Picture of original pump is attached.
