Generator Problems

[jmoorelewy]

Thanks Gregory,

Not sure if there is an electric pump on our system, when i have
changed the filters in the past it seems like its gravity fed.

Also when the genny stops it trips the little red cranking reset button?

can you tell me where the strainer is? is that on the lift pump.

all the best
