Thanks all for the fast replies!
donn0128 - I agree with the manual steps, but the momma likes automatic ones! gotta keep everyone happy! :) probably going to attack the onan anyways, just for the learning. I was kinda hoping the refer was a "plug-n-play" (figuratively speaking...),so I will look into it. just need to find one at a decent price, thats all...
doxiemom11 - thanks for the tip on the thermistor (also, thanks for reminding me what it was called, was banging my head into the desk trying to think of it!). yeah, tried the air filter too, even tried running it w/o it for testing, still to no avail.
