Onan Indiana generator stalling
Starts and runs for hour, then stalls. Have plenty of gas in tank. Oil level good. 440 hours in 2006 year. Thoughts?

Just watched a Youtube video about this on 4000 (and I suppose the 3600LP). The guy described the symptoms as starting fine, running fine, suddenly shutting down, and later starting up fine.
He claims that TOO HIGH of an oil level (within the normal range on the dipstick) was causing it and that many others commented that they too experienced this and that servicing the oil to just above the ADD mark solved the problem.

Another video said it was the fuel pump. You can test the pump/filter by taking the line at the carb off and putting it in a container and pushing STOP and this will operate the pump to prime the carb. If you don't get good flow, you may have pump problems, assuming you have a quarter tank or more of fuel in the RV fuel tank.
