Anyone have an idea of what type of costs to expect to service the Onan 4000? I does start right up but runs rough. He did say the oil was low in it.
The fact that it runs means it probably needs a good tune up. I would personally get it over to an Onan authorized service center for a thorough inspection and service. Probably a couple hundred bucks well spent.
Thanks Mocoondo, I appreciate the guidance. I just talked to a mobile RV repair guy that's been around 10+ years. He has contracted to do work on CA RV's in the past so knows them very well. He's also Onan Certified. (Also has 21 reviews on his company's Facebook page and they are all 5 stars so he sounds legit).
I told him my Onan 4000 has 1,300 hours on it. He is suggesting a rebuild with new fuel pump, etc. Quoted a price of $950. He said he could just do a tune-up but that the generator would not perform at peak condition.
I'd appreciate feedback. $950 seems high...
