Struggling to get my 96 Marquis 5000 running. I know the model I own does not have a fuel pump. I disconnected the fuel line from the fuel filter and it is bone dry, not sucking gas. I have a full tank but I can't seem to get the line to suck gas to start the thing.
Last year I took it to Cummins and they said they used a constant flow of propane to get it to start which in turn started it sucking fuel. It ran once after that then stopped again. Apparently I ran it down too close to where the generator gas line is on the tank and it ran dry again. Great use of $200.
Called them today and they will not offer any assistance and want it brought back in to take more of my money for nothing.
So that said, anyone here have any experience with this? I'm desperate at this point. All I want to do is figure out how to get it to start/suck fuel in again so I can at least repeat whatever it was they did to get it running.
I have zero mechanical experience and can't find any help for this one on Youtube either.
