You probably need a new one unless you fancy visiting the ER every time you want the genset run.
Available from Cummins/Onan, or get the part number and check on Ebay, you may save a bundle, both my OEM replacement and the spare I carry are made in China, the spare was $60 against the $300 OEM.

Thanks so much... appreciate the info, will get on it as soon as we launch in the spring ... FB
