Also the LPG generator doesn't seem to be effected by elevation or weather like my other gas Onan.
Hmmmm ... I've never heard anyone mention elevation or weather affecting their gas Onan. What vintage was your gas Onan generator?
It was in a 2005 Raptor TH. It had the elevation slide but it was rather temperamental. 5 foot elevation at the coast it would run smooth. High desert it would stumble and barely run. Tune it to run for the high desert and then it would stumble at the coast. Down around freezing it would barely start and running it in the high 90 - to 100+ degrees and it would shut off every 30 - 40 minutes and need a 15 minute cool down before it would restart. My Onan authorized service was great to deal with but it was never quite right. I thought I got a lemon but every time I dropped mine off there would be two or three others in there with similar problems. Nature of the beast I guess.
