Onan shuts off while driving/hot
Hi there, Having an annoying issue with my Onan 4000 gas generator that is only an issue while driving the motorhome. While stationary its perfect. So if the genset is running while driving down...
Forum Discussion
Please provide Model and Spec for the ONAN.
Do you know how it gets its fuel. Is it direct from the main tank, or tapped into one of the lines feeding the road engine?
Was your gas tank low? Road engine would still run, but gas would slosh away from the genset's pickup.
If you have an ONAN 4KY generator, it probably does NOT have a Low Oil Level switch. It also won't have anything like an Oil Pressure Switch since it's splash lubed. No oil pump, no oil filter. Kinda like a small mower engine.
