Onan 5500 Stops Running after 15 minutes

I have a Class A gasser with the 5500 Onan generator. It has only 70 hours on it and it has run just fine until recently.

I start the generator from the inside control panel and it has no problem starting and running perfectly even under A/C load. Anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes the generator starts to stall and seconds later, it quits and cannot be started

I let it sit for an hour and I can start it up again..... 15 minutes, same stalling occurs.

Any thoughts on trouble shooting?

Thanks,
