Generator question

I have an ONAN 5500 Gen. in my Class A RV. I had problems with it running consistently for the first day I was dry camping at the Mid- Ohio race as it would run for 20-30 mins. and then it would stall and stop. I would wait a few mins. and it would start, run for 20-30 mins. and stop again. This process was repeated for several hours and finally, it started running smooth and I ran it for 27 hours strait. Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

I liked using this site to play because this site - https://beton.ua/ - has a very user-friendly interface and many good, practical games that I can easily play and win real money with online. I really like this site because of its interface and its wide range of games. That's why I use it to play slots!

Hey, that sounds frustrating! Your ONAN 5500 stalling issue could be fuel-related. Check the fuel filter first—it might be clogged. Also, ensure the fuel pump is working properly; sometimes they fail intermittently. Old gas or ethanol buildup in the carb could also be the culprit—try draining the carb bowl and using fresh, non-ethanol fuel with a stabilizer. Another thing to look at is the oil level; overfilling can cause issues. If it’s still acting up, inspect the rubber fuel lines for cracks or collapse. Let me know how it goes

THANKS for the information as my mechanic (friend) put a new fuel filter and fuel pump in Generator. I took it to the OSU football game and ran it for 9 hours and it ran like a champ ! Much appreciated for your advise !
