RE: onan dieing when driving down the road
Your dealer is full of crap. I have seen gensets running full load at 120. No problem. You have another problem.If your generator fuel line is teed into the main engine supply line. The main engine could be draining the generator line.
RE: Onan Marquis gold 5500 fuel pump issue
Did you check under the seat. How old is the fuel line. Fuel pump failing would not increase the pressure. I have seen fuel line break up on the inside and flakes get under the needle.
RE: Onan micro Quiet 4000...No crank..starter relay??
What is your model and serial number. I believe on some specs the control board and voltage regulator. Are two sepperate items. On some they are all in one.
RE: Onan Marquis gold 5500 fuel pump issue
There is no fuel bypass system on your unit. From pump to carb. Fuel flow controlled by needle and seat in carb. Trash under seat is a common problem. As you have found out. Cleaning the trash out will solve your problem.
RE: Propane Generator issue
I agree check the oil level. Onan had that problem years ago on one of there units. Oil pan was not drilled so oil could flow back to the pickup for the pump. Ran fine sitting still. But make a turn and it would shut off because of low oil. You most likely have low oil.
RE: Onan micro Quiet 4000...No crank..starter relay??
Your part will have the number on the back. It is the black box under the start solenoid. Check with flight systems they may have a cheaper price. Also they have a better warranty. Before you change it out. I would look for bad connections.
