Onan genset stops running--------Fixed

Finally got the MH out. The genset started up OK and I let it run while I did some other things with the MH. It started to surge after 10-15 minutes and quit. It restarted after setting for a while. That cycle continued several times this afternoon.

My best guess is a mouse nest causing the overheat temp sensor to kick out. I won't have time to deal with it for a couple of weeks, but I'm interested in other possibilities to check before I pull the shrouds (which looks like it requires pulling the genset out). :(

I just had a similar problem with my Onan 4000 in my 5er fuel pump and filter new last year so had good fuel flow, a Cummins shop in my area after checking it out said it was a bad carb.

PM me if you want more info.
