I have a Onan 4000 Microlite, but it runs on propane.
This rig sat for a year with engine only being started every
week or so, but never started the Onan.
Now it just has a high clicking noise when I attempt to start
it.
Any clues?
Thanks,
The most common problem with Propane generators not starting is that the vent hose is plugged with bugs. Bugs are attracted to the smell of propane, so they crawl in the vent hose and stay there. Clean out the tube or replace it. Onan has a foam sock that fits over the hose end keeping bugs out. Works good for me. You can only get it at an Onan parts shop.
