Many years ago I was a cable TV guy. I had a bucket truck that was electrically driven hydraulic. The power was generated by a 2.5kw, single cylinder Onan. That Onan ran hour upon hour because a lot of my work required 120 vac. and of course any movement of the bucket required the generator to be running.The generator ran through two cab/ chassis over 15 years. It was still going strong when I gave up the truck for a new one. Along the line we did put a manual choke on it but that Onan must have had 10,000-15,000 hours on it. We changed its oil once in a while and one time we put a head gasket in it. My experience with that little generator sold me on Onan.
