Aha! I see from your pics that you have top access to the Onan, as well as side access. I didn't know that. I'd still expect it to be a side-pull for removal, but possibly not. At the least, disconnecting/reconnecting should be snap.
With such low hours, you can expect some issues. I expect you'll end up buying a new carb ($200-$250; probably non-rebuildable), since Onan strongly recommends a 2-hour run at 1/2 load to keep the gas from forming varnish in the fine passages It also dries the condensation out of the generator section (iron laminations will rust); if it's lived in a really dry climate, that may not be an issue.
