Time for Onan 5500 rebuild? Pics and video ...

I have a separate post about my Onan 5500 gas generator (5.5HGJAB-1038C Spec C) starting with some assistance by opening air filter box and holding the butterfly/choke all the way open to get it going...

Took it in for repair to a small engine repair shop which is authorized Onan place. They found a valve was stuck. Some other stuff was apparently out of adjustment and apparently I messed up the breather tube when installing the new carb. Said they also needed to clean it well to get all the buildup out. They said it's running great now and will pick it up soon.
