Onan Microlite 2800 Will Not Start
I have an Onan Microlite 2800 that will not start. It was removed from a camper so it has four wires that were cut that used to go to the camper but cannot get it to do much of anything. If is model 2...

OK... on these ONAN gensets, various operational tests are bypassed when starting. as in holding the switch to START. Larger gensets have oil pumps, and oil pressure, oil level sensors were bypassed till you released the switch to RUN.
Don't hold me to this, but I think 4KY (28KV probably similar) won't keep running if it isn't producing electricity. They have less oil-related safeties since they're splash-lubed, but I'm pretty sure it has to be producing AC, and possibly also a 12VDC output to recharge the coach battery that starts it.
