Onan 2800 Bogging Down
I have a Onan 2800 Microlite Genset in my 2005 Jamboree 22B.
It starts and runs fine, and without any real load the output is a steady.
But if I turn on the roof AC or the microwave, the genset bogs down, the voltage drops and then the surge suppressor disconnects the genset output from the electrical system. At that point the genset ramps back up to idle and the suppressor resets.
I do have the Onan service manual and have tried to adjust the mixture without it having any effect on operation. When the mixture (Main Adjustment Screw) is turned it does not effect the engine running condition.
Here is a pic of the carb diagram-
Notice the middle "idle adjustment screw" - mine does not have one or it is under that small silver cap-
I have removed the fuel filter as I have no idea if it is clogged and starving the carb of fuel. I'll swap it out as it's an easy thing to do & might be the cause.
If anyone has any recommendations I sure would appreciate it.
