Cummins Onan LP 25 won't start...
Hi all. I'd like to get some help with a 7-year-old Cummins Onan LP generator that won't start. I've tried to do as much as I can before potentially wasting your time on a problem that I overlooked....

**Update** See the following post instead...
Just a sticky varnish on the intake valve stem had it stuck in the open position. Two shots of penetrating oil for about 15 minutes each and a couple of good raps on top of the valve spring with a hard rubber mallet and all is well now.
If it were fueled by gasoline, he could add a valve-cleaning additive to the tank. I think the only thing he can do with LP is to run it for a few minutes occasionally.
Thanks all for your help.
