Onan 6.5 genset problem
Yes I know this isn't technically an RV issue :B. But I'm looking at a boat with an Onan 6.5 gas generator, problem with the generator is initially it runs fine for 45min or so. Then you shut it off...

I couldn't resist this one.One thing I hate more than anything is a mechanic. Trying to BS his way out of a problem that he can't fix. There is no time delay for restarting a marine unit.Not on the Onan.
Now does it turn over and not try to start. If so check the choke. I have run into that problem many times on boats. I call it a hot choke. Does not cool off enough for a restart. But after about five minutes it cools off enough to start.
Does the boat have an active engine room delay system. Turns on fans to clear any fumes that may be present
not sure, I will check that. Are you referring to a blower like on smaller boats that clears fumes in the bilge?
I will also look into the choke- thanks for the heads up on that!:)
What was your fix on that hot choke problem?
