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...

Yes he has a 2800. But what spec what serial number.Things change and with each change you have a different spec letter.A change could be minor or major.Just saying I have a 2800 is like saying I have a Mustang.Ok but what year is it. You don't go to a doctor and just say my arm hurts. Which arm.
Hard to give advice when you are not sure what you are working on. This is why all the techs that know left this site.Got tired of trying to help without the proper information.
Makin Do Keep running your generator as you are. The worst thing you can do is let it sit. It doesn't care what the temp is run it. Helps keep things in shape. I have been in the generator business since 1968. Most of my calls were to gensets that were allowed to sit. By people thinking they were saving them.
I wouldn't worry about the backfire to much.If it runs fine after that. Many things can cause it.Sometimes it just happens.
