General Discussion / Re: Onan generator quit running
« on: September 01, 2010, 09:28:25 am »
We have a 2009 2350. We had it for roughly a month and had a similar problem. Our generator would run for about 5 minutes with a full load (including the AC on) and it would die. I brought it to an repair man I trust and he found that the carb was set to full choke which was flooding out the engine after a few minutes of operation. He had to change the oil (he showed me you could smell gas on the oil dipstick) and after he adjusted the carb it ran for about 15 minutes with a full load and then died. After some debug he found that the fuel pump was defective - he took the fuel line to the carb off and couldn't get any fuel to come out of the hose while holding the button to prime the generator. The pump must have been working intermittently. After the fuel pump to the generator was replaced the generator ran like a champ.
