Onan Backfire - Not A Good Thing
When not traveling I run my Onan 2800 for one hour under a 1500w load every other week. Always, when starting it takes a couple of tries for a few seconds for it to start, drawing up gas from the fuel...

Thanks for the replies. I'll wait until I fire it up again to see if the backfire happens again.
Sam, I run a 1500 watt heater for my load after the engine warms for a few minutes. Here in North Central WV I think I'll have wait more than a few weeks for a warm spell, Canada is sending us some real cold weather at present. Running the generator every two weeks is not inconvenient for me since I walk past the rig at least six times a day. Always enjoy sitting inside for awhile.
