The audience of this manual is an 18 year old soldier or airman. Not a lot of common sense or experience there.

I hear you but a Technical Manual should be explicit and not leave anything up for "interpretation". Assuming is the mother of all f***ups.

Notice that 1.16.5.5 describes the PRIME & RUN AUX FUEL position but there is no description of the PRIME & RUN switch position.

Did not know that the Aux pump works will the fuel level switch. My Fuel Level gauge is inop. Troubleshot it down to a bad sender, Does anyone know of an aftermarket suitable substitute for the fuel sender (TM 9-6115-671-24P, Figure 11, Item 30)?

My unit has a John Deere 4045TF151 so fuel transfer pump is in TM 9-2815-259-24P, Figure 19, Item 1.

That clears it up for me. I assumed it was priming something because it is labeled "Prime & Run". Like they say, assuming makes an ass out of you and me:)

Thank you. The generator runs fine after a fuel pump rebuild ($1500 in California). Just wondering what happens when the switch is in the Prime & Run position. The TMs just say to place the switch in this position. It does not tell you what to check for.

Hello. Hello, Master Switch is in the On position. BTW, the generator starts and runs fine. Just wondering what happens when the switch is in the Prime & Run position. The TMs just say to place the switch in this position. It does not tell you what to check for.

Thanks for replying. I don't hear anything come on. Where is the electric fuel pump? Can you point me to a figure in the tech manual? I need to make sure it is getting voltage.

Does anyone know what happens when the generator control switch is placed in "Prime & Run" position prior to starting the generator? Should I hear something start to run like a fuel priming pump? Couldn't find a description of this switch position function in any of the Tech Manuals.
