onan microlite 4000 wont start
hello all,
I'm back with ANOTHER genny that has problems, and can use some help.
1997 24' Class C Winnie Itasca,
Onan Microlite 4000 with 220 hours
-fuel tank full
-Battery good
-Oil level good
-Fuel pressure to genny good, (checked by pulling fuel line from genny carb, cranking over genny, and gas pumped very well from fuel line)
-Spark seems good but could be slightly weak (?) Blue color spark
Genny will crank over fine, (and will even start for a second) with a shot of Starting Fluid,... but will immediately die.
I can keep it running with quick repetitive shots of starting fluid, but it will die within 1 - 2 seconds of the last squirt of fluid.
any suggestions or what to check next ?
