@ Doug Grainer Thanks Doug for the input, that was my feeling about the carb on the Genset, I'll take replacement of the carb up with them.
The reason I stated NEW carb is simple. Onan does not have carb rebuild kits and have NOT since the mid 90's. Onan had to make their carbs California compliant and because of that, they cannot be tampered with. They have plastic lock plugs on the carbs to prevent adjustment or tinkering with them. A GOOD Tech can remove the plastic locks and rebuild the carb, BUT, that voids the Onan warranty. So, if under warranty, I would demand a new carb. Out of warranty, you can rebuild them as long as you take care to not destroy the gaskets and o rings. Doug
