RV generator problem.
My generator quit working on me yesterday. It worked fine for coffee in the morning , but at lunch time it would no longer start. It's an Onan MicroQuiet 4000. Model 4KYFA261OOK Serial A070013571.
Here is a video I made yesterday trying to start it when the problem first occurred. You can hear the humming and a slight clicking.

The simplest suggestion was to try and rotate my fan. I just did so this morning. It sounded like loose metal clinking as I turned it. Then when I went to start it, it made a metal clank sound in addition to the humming, but still no cranking.
The clicking went to a clanking and I'm afraid I'm damaging it more every time I try to start it because there wasn't even a clicking when it first started having problem.
Any helpful suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
William
