Onan Gen Shuts Off

02 Fleetwood Bounder 36'
Onan 5KW

For some reason, of late, the Generator starts, carries a load (A/C's) but after 10-15 minutes, it shuts off.
No idea why.
Plenty of fuel, nothing has changed in the configuration in the last 3 years.
'Thoughts? Tips?
Thanks
Class A

    Could still be fuel issue. Take a fuel suction from a can (bypassing the fuel tank, lines, and filter(s)), and see if it runs longer. If so, I'd bet on 15 year old fuel lines collapsing from age and ethanol fuels.

    OK, seems like a reasonable idea!
    Thanks, I will as soon as I get home.
