Onan 4000 Generator Problem
Hey all, I recently posted that the Onan 4000 on my Fleetwood was roaming and would only stay running if I wedged the Governor open, but that is not the case. I went out today to check the adjustmen...

Newcomers to this issue may find Jerry's Original Thread useful.
Let me try to re-cap this:
Once started (Jerry, does this imply hard starting?), it's hard to keep running.
Throttle (governor linkage) has to be held steady (to control RPM surging).
Choke needs to be held closed (as in starting) to keep it running.
Is that about it? If not, please correct.
Now, a couple questions:
Is this Under Load (heavy, like A/C in cooling mode)?
Or Idle (still same RPM, but little to no load)?
Or Both?
What have you done so far, besides tweaking Throttle and Choke?
