Are the first three characters in your Model Number actually 4K4? I would have expected 4KY. The rest of the characters, beginning FA, make sense, and your Spec is H.
ONAN gensets, with proper maintenance, are very long-lived machines. If it wasn't run much in actual "duty" as a power source, wasn't run monthly or so as "exercise" if not otherwise run, and the fuel wasn't stabilized, then problems crop up. Their carburetors have tiny passages and that makes them very vulnerable to Gum and Varnish. Then they won't start or won't keep running. Then we work the starter too hard...
