Generator

Looking for some solutions to my problem. I have an older Onan Emerald Plus 6300 LP generator. Been running fine for the last year. Now when I start it for some reason it shuts down immediately. Tank is 3/4 full, oil is on full mark. All other LP appliances work OK, hot water heater, fridge and stove top. LP detector working.

Thanks,
Joe
  • First thing I would check would be the regulator.
    Doesn't mean that's it but it's where I would start especially as it's LP and everything else works independently.
  • I have a newer Onan with 17 hours on it. I exercise it monthly. i had a similar problem and took it to Cummins. The problem was the fuel pump, even though it had hardly been used. The 17 hours came mainly from exercising it.
  • It could be a bad oil pressure or oil level sensor.
    Start by checking to insure the connectors are on and tight.
