With normal maintenance, how many hours should you except from a onan 5500 generator?

Indeed. It's an old WWII holdover myth that generators die from lack of use. The electronics in them today don't have the issue of those used decades ago. Yes fuel can be an issue but it takes years for that to become apparent.
I always dump an appropriate amount of STA-BIL into my fuel tank when filling up gas tank prior to storage. Then I run the generator under 50+ percent load for ~30 min. Then shut off.
Come spring time it (Micro 4K) fires right up. Been doing this for 8 years without issue.
