Hi Everyone,
We have a 2010 Raptor 361LEV. We are pulling out trailer out of winter hibernation and getting ready to go on our first trip for the year. Before we put it away (in January) we ran the genset for about 20min. before we put it away ... in total the genset only has 5.5 hrs. on it
(model 5.5HGJAB-6755D).
Well today I went to start then genset and it fired up and ran for 20 seconds "sputtering and farting" then died. I tried several more times and it would just turn over but would not start. So I re-primed it and it would fire ... but would not start. We ended up getting an error code 36 on it. So I made sure there was fuel in the fuel tank, I even went and got new plugs for it, checked the air filter and it is spotless, the oil is right where it should be.
Even after putting in the new plugs ... if I prime it for about 10-20 seconds it will fire up ... sputter ... then stop (again, throwing a 36).
As more information, I thought about possibly old fuel in our fuel tank. So I thought about draining the tank using the gas nozzle at the back ... but it won't spit gas out either (we have never used it before so not sure if we need to prime it or not). The pump comes on ... but not gas comes out. What is even more whacky is that if I prime the genset start it, it runs for 20seconds then dies ... I can can then get a small amount of gas to come out the rear nozzle in the back - whats up with that???
Anyways, looking for any ideas on what else I can try? My instinct is telling me the genset is starving for gas or is not getting enough gas to continue to run once the prime wears off - but that is just a guess.
Thanks for any help.
