Onan 5000 won't start
It doesn't have any spark. Any thoughts or suggestions? Started fine about 6 weeks ago. Looks like it will be fun to get it out far enough to work on.

Thanks for the replies and for the link to the manual. I hope it's the oil pressure sensor. In any event, I will post back with the resolution when I get time to work on it. Right now garden and yard work are taking precedence.
If you changed the oil that could be the problem. Onan had a problem with some 5000 generators that foaming when the engine was filled to the correct level caused the low oil level switch to open. Their cure was a different dipstick (small) that had markings at a lower level.Mine is one of them
Oil hasn't been recently changed. Same oil that was in it 2 months ago when it was last started.
