Continual running of Onan microquiet 4000
What is the longest anyone has run a microquiet Onan 4000 generator without shutting it down? Any problems? Thanks

Clyde,
Always check the oil first. Then,
As long as you have fuel,run it.
The only thing I will suggest is that after the first 12 hours, you shut it down for about 5 minutes and check the oil level. If it hasn't changed, fire up again and check at 24 hours. Soon you will know how much you have to worry.
For my 40yo Power Drawer, it needs a pint every 30 hours.
It you take care of it, it will be reliable a very long time.
