Onan Genset low/no power
Good day all! Day 8 of my first cross country trip in my 1994 Tioga Arrow. I have had a wonderful time. Central Iowa to Tucson and back. Return stops; Amarillo, Thunderbird Lake OK, Table Rock Lake...

I just thought of something that happened in the past; a couple of times when leaving to go camping,I was on shore power at home. I started the generator and plugged in. No power. I shut down the generator, plugged in, refired generator and had power. I thought this was a 'quirk' or SOP? So from there on I always had the rig plugged in before starting.
Spec B makes it a very "early" 4KY so it's good you posted that. It might still have that "oil level switch" that people blame for problems not realizing it was deleted in the more recent Spec's. Just an example, I don't think that's your problem.
But 4KY has a Logic Board, so I wonder if it checks to see if there's a load connected before trying to pick up a load. If so, might have concluded there was no load to carry, before you plugged in, but wasn't smart enough to see that you added load later. Long shot, just maybe.
