MDJF Onan 15 kw

Looking for onan part# 149-1046. Rebuild kit for my weeping fuel pump. Cant find one. Any ideas?

Use an electric fuel pump and bypass that mechanical one.

Agree with replace w/electric pump but there is this from 2018 .. https://www.samsmarine.com/forums/showthread.php?16041-FYI-Onan-Generators-Fuel-Pumps&highlight=Onan

Sorry to say the pump is gone. But honestly the reason I had it was because I converted to electric and never looked back. It’s an easy swap. Unbolt the mechanical pump and use a block off plate from a small block Chevy. $15 at auto parts store. Electric diesel fuel pump was $59 I think. Ground to engine block. Positive to single lug on fuel solenoid. Done.

Thanks. Any idea what kind d of pressure the electric pump needs to make?

This is the pump I used. Not a high pressure pump at all, but I believe it only needs to maintain supply to the injection pump and then that takes over. If I'm mistaken I'm sorry, but I can tell you this exact pump worked great on my MDJF and Jeg's is selling it for half of what I paid. At $28, it's not much of a gamble.

I used the same one on my 17.5kw Powertech in my motorhome. Works great.
