2014 Onan 4000 fuel leaking from carb
I have an Onan 4000 generator on my Shockwave. It's always been a little finicky to start. However, this past week when I went to start it for the monthly run, it just would not catch. I noticed fuel ...

Update: Offloaded about half the gas in the tank. It ran fine through my wife's Jeep (split it half with the toy hauler gas and half a tank of fresh gas). Also offloaded some to my friend's Mustang. No issues with either. Lawnmower and chainsaw burned it fine too. Still, we put about 8 gallons of fresh gas back into it.
So we got it running and it came up to speed fine. Seems the warmer weather and fresh gas did it some good. But, while it was running it started blowing white smoke out of the exhaust. Shut it down, checked the oil, and it spewed out of the fill/dipstick port. Looks like it somehow got a lot of fuel in the oil. Drained it out and replaced the oil, but ran out of daylight. Hopefully no permanent damage was done, but we (my friend and I) are still working on it.
