Generator problem

I have a 2007 Winnebago voyage with Onan Marquis Gold 5500 generator. when driving gen. runs for 5 minutes then shuts off, I wait 5 minutes and start it again and it runs for 5 minutes again . Any ideas of what might be wrong would be greatly appreciated.
  • Just worked through the same issue on my '07 Terra with the Onan 5500 - after a couple of tries with Sea Foam, replacing the fuel pump and filter did the trick. Good luck!
  • FUEL PUMP FUEL PUMP FUEL PUMP amazon------- fuel pump AIRTEX E11015 same as Onan only 45.00 not 122.00 had it delivered to my house in two days. 2006 southwind with Onan 5500.
  • Might check oil level. They have an automatic shut off if oil is low.
  • Just had the same issue. New fuel pump solved it. I replaced the filters and hose while I was at it.
  • I have that same problem with mine. changed fuel filter didn't help/ stuck hose in gas can and it ran. Sepect that I have something wrong with fuel line from tank. Checking that out as of now. Nothing found out yet.
  • Sounds like a fuel issue. I agree with Ranger.
