Could be, I'm no expert.  But my mid-70s vintage 4.5kW Onan had adjustments
for both low and high throttle (what would be idle and main jets on a car).

After seeing what pump parts cost, I switched to a little Facet "electronic"
instead.  I got it for $10 on flea-bay, but even a new one is less than a
dealer wanted for a rebuild kit.  Since it was mounted in a motorhome above
the fuel tanks, gravity feed wasn't an option for me.
