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.

Yes, you should hear the electric fuel pump come on. It should slow down/stop when it has primed the system.
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.

Is your Master Switch S3 in On or Off Position when you place the Engine Control Switch S1 in "Run &Prime" ?

Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!! No you should NOT hear anything. Sorry, I was helping someone with an MEP-005A, and just kept thinking about a different gen set. Sorry, one hundred times. All you have is a hand operated primer hand pump. There is an AUX electric fuel pump. But no other electric fuel pump.
