Onan starts and dies, throws Code 3
We hit a heat wave and had to run our generator an Onan (HGJAB901A), it quit and threw a Code I believed was "Low Oil Pressure", I assumed it was due to low oil level and refilled. Now it just starts...

UPDATE I reread the codes, Flashes Fault Code 3, press STOP, Flashes Fault Code 23, Oil Pressure Fault Switch.
I followed the trouble shooting instructions and no problems detected. I also changed the filter and oil and I disconnected the Low Pressure Fuel Pump hose and the pump is working well.
Right now I feel the problem is in the control panel which is behind the carb and air intake and which I believe will require removing the entire generator. It is a pretty simple job but if I did that, I would be at the end of my knowledge. I would assume that a Onan authorized repair shop would also just change the control module or PC board or what ever it is called.
I would have to build a cradle to rest on my floor jack that would support the four corners of the generator. Too big a job and I have no space to do the work. I would have to do it in the street in front of the house and the DW would not like that.
