I purchased my 1995 vintage motorhome in 2013. It was a monument to neglect and abuse as evidenced by the fact that I developed a bearing knock in its 460 V8 at about 62K. Its 7K Onan had 1,136 hours on it and didn’t run well. I changed the oil and both the oil and air filters, replaced both spark plugs and wires, a circuit board, and took apart and cleaned the carburetor. For a total cost to me of about $200 it now runs great and appears to be reliable.
I suppose what I’m trying to say is that there’s hope, even for a severely neglected generator, if you start out with a good make to begin with.
