Onan Microlite 2800 stops after releasing start switch

[DoubleVeteran]

Hi,

I've had a recent issue with my Onan 2800 Microlite gas generator. Sometimes, the remote genny switch doesn't light up after the genny starts, and I have to hold in the button. Oil level is good and gas tank is above over 1/2 tank. This has happened twice so far this year. I found that when the issue occurs, if I press the start button on the genny (underneath the rig in the back) it starts properly each time. Seems to be an issue with just the remote start switch.

Anyone ever have an issue where the generator won't keep running after it starts from the remote switch?

Thnx!

Larry

Might consider checking the wire harness connecting the remote start switch with the generator - sometimes cleaning the contacts will fix the problem.

It is very possible that the remote switch is bad.
It could be the connector on the remote switch at the genset. Make sure it is pluggd in and is tight.
