My ONAN manual suggests 2 hours a month under at least 50% load. They say 2 hours at one time is far better than 30 minutes weekly. A 9 year old MH that has had the generator exercised for 2 hours a month would have at least 216 hours on it. What you are seeing is not excessive.
Yeah we learned the hard way. I now regularly run the Gen in the winter about every other week but I should run it longer usually I run our Onan about 45 min every other week not enough.
It's usally a 350 dollar repair bill to unclog the fuel system if the gen is not run in the winter months.
Our MH is ten years old now and we only have 187 hours on the generator not near enough we will have to start running it a lot more often. I used to think low hours on a gen is good boy was I wrong.
