ONAN "Micro" genset, KY Series? The folk I bought ours from had to replace carburetor and logic board to put the coach up for sale. Then let it stand a couple months and it needed a carburetor again.
My guess would be that if it cranks over freely, it might be OK with a new carburetor. Or... there could be corrosion within the generator portion, brushes and slip rings, where it'll run but not produce electricity. If the undercarriage isn't covered in rust, since genset spins, my guess would be not a lot of corrosion and betting on just a carb (nearly $200 new) would be pretty safe.
