Additional Onan Genset Cooling?
We just bought a new to us 2006 Winnebago Sightseer with an Onan 4000 genset. The first time we used the generator, all seemed well but after it ran 30-45 minutes it seemed to be having fuel issues. ...

You need to troubleshoot this. Allow me to present a scenario...
Cool day light load no problemo
Hot day medium load problemo
Try a cool day, near max load and see if the unit faults
A partial short in a stator coil will make the entire unit run hotter than the hinges of hades. Air first goes to the generator then continues on to the motor.
I would not discount the diagnostic failure code out of hand.
A generator with a shorted stator coil can not produce anywhere near maximum rated watts output. I would start the diagnostic process by heavily loading the generator on a cooler day. Two minute warm up time with NO load at first.
