Venting here..
I've owned 5 Onan generators throughout my life and every single one has had problems, and they are problems that are high $$$ problems, the cheapest one I've gotten away with was a new carburetor for $200 and I installed it myself. Every other one has been $1000-2000 in repairs. Now this one looks as though it could cost me up to $2500 in repairs after said and done.. WHY?? I'm beginning to think that Onan is being operated and run by repairs. I was hoping that they would be getting better the newer I go, but not the case, seems they are getting worse and more $$$ to repair them as shop rates sky rocket.. Am I the only one that is having problems with the Onans? I think they need to have a little better product to have the "cummins" name on it.. Sorry for the vent..
