Expensive repair- lucky me
My generator just shut off while under a medium load. Engine would start but shut off unless the start button remained pressed (or "mashed" like we say in the south). Onan certified RV repair center called and said it was the slip rings whatever they are. Internet research prior to taking it in confirmed that is one of two usual causes for my problem. VERY EXPENSIVE to repair. On top of that the water heater would not remain lit on gas. New circuit board solved that. When it rains it pours. I think I will go buy a lottery ticket.
