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...

My Onan 7000 Marqui experienced same problem. AFTER a new fuel pump and fuel filter (carb was replaced a year prior to this problem), it STILL continued. I ran a new gas line to fuel pump and from a gas can....it ran great. Found a split gas line from fuel tank to fuel pump. Replaced the line. Problem resolved.
I'm just now having my Onan 5500 die after 10 or 20 minutes . . . . mostly after driving. During 2 previous "tests" it ran for a full hour (1 AC unit 75F temps then later both AC units in 95F temp). Then I went and refueled and it died after an hour with driving - right after I parked it in the driveway. I rarely go more than 4 weeks without a trip and frequently every 2-3 weeks. BTW, it's not the gas cap . . . .
If you look at RDG's pump from Amazon (direct Onan part) there's the same symptoms from other users. Thanks for posting RDG!
I'm thinking fuel pump.
