Cost for a new carb
I have a brand new Onan 5500 generator and my fifth wheel toy hauler. It came with 30 gallons of regular gas in one of the 30 gallon tanks. Of course I did not run it as i was suppose to and i'm sure...

Well, as a technician for a former Onan service center, we were told DIRECTLY by Onan 25 years ago WHY ONAN does not have rebuild kits and WHY the Carbs are replaced and not fixed. While you "may" be able to find rebuild kits on E bay, they are NOT Onan OEM kits. Onan does not have or sell rebuild kits for RV Gensets built after about 1993 or so. Doug
I have used some of those eBay kits on garden tractors. I found that there was a very sharp edge on the float needle that needs to be slightly rounded with a stone or fine needle file. Another issue was the intake gaskets turned to mush after one summers use. It is still a cheap and easy fix, just get Onan gaskets for the intake.
