Replacement for Onan 4000
My Onan 4000 which only has about 80 hours stops working. I think it is because I do not exercise it monthly. I pay around $300 to replace the caburator, but I am thinking about buying a portable gene...

It would be interesting to know what exactly failed in some of the Onan generators and what it cost to repair. I find it curious that some have had multiple Onan's yet experienced failures in each one and others seem to have outstanding service using them. What occurred that would lead someone to not ever want to own one even if for free. As I have said, my company had no less than 500 units powering refrigeration units and other than normal maintenance were not in the shop unless they were getting a rebuild.
It is well known that any brand of generator in constant use will fare much better than an occasionally used genset.
For people that follow the forums the usual culprits are the carburetor and oil pressure sensor. If the circuit board goes out then it is $$$$$$$ for a replacement. I would offer a far superior replacement board if they have one for your genset.
