if you have an Onan 7.5kw quiet diesel, the air filter is accessed from underneath, has black plastic cover held in place by wing nut. Element is retained by oval shaped metal cover held by identical wing nut. fault code 36 is displayed when genset slows to point below controller target speed. Usually a fuel delivery issue, ie fuel filter or pump.
If air filter restricted, will run poorly and smoke from exhaust immediately, and probably be difficult to start. Would be better able to offer some real help if you noted full model and serial number of your genset.
