Re: Onan 5500 Generator in Holiday Rambler 1998 Endeavor
Problem solved, Generator 5500 is running smoothly and runs my air conditioners. I put the original fuel pump and carburetor after cleaning back on. Today I got a Bosch 5-blade relay that is located in air cleaner box. I started Generator and it runs excellent. Problem solved. I want to thank everyone for all your input and suggestions. It was greatly appreciated. Thank you all.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Onan 5500 Generator in Holiday Rambler 1998 Endeavor
The spark plug gap is set at .025 and plugs come set at .035 could an issue. I always kept oil level at full mark, some say that oil level should be at low level mark because dip stick is wrong????? Is there a sensor on oil level that could be causing Onan not to start??1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Onan 5500 Generator in Holiday Rambler 1998 Endeavor
Yesterday I spoke to friend at RV Dealership and he told me to hold stop button in for 15 seconds to prime carb. I did that and generator started and ran for about 3-4 minutes. After that it would not start. Today we disconnected gas line from main tank to fuel pump and hooked hose up to fuel pump and dropped hose in gas can. Generator would not start. We come to conclusion that new carb. is not working and are going to clean old one and put it back on and see if Generator starts.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsOnan 5500 Generator in Holiday Rambler 1998 Endeavor
Generator runs sometimes and then shuts off. Replaced with new: Spark plugs, oil change, oil filter, air filter. "still no run" Replaced: New carburetor, New fuel pump, New fuel filter, No gas line hose from carburetor to fuel pump. "still no luck" The in line 10 amp fuse above stop/start switch is okay. The 20 amp two blade fuse by breakers is okay. I help "stop button" in for 15 seconds to prime Gen. and then hit start button and it started and ran for 60-90 seconds and then started getting rough and shut off and would not start. I ordered new 5 blade relay plug under air intake to see if that is problem. Are there any other in line fuses that could be problem Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.7.2KViews0likes23CommentsOnan 5500 Gen in RV
Right above the stop/start switch there is black plastic part with plastic door on right end and when you open it there are two in-line-fuses inside. There appear to be spare ones. Where are they for? I don't see any place for in-line-fuses. On end by breaker switches there is a 20 amp red breaker fuse with two blades. Can find anything in my manual and can't find manual on line. Onan Marquis 5500 Model 5.5 BGMFA11578G Serial G973713439893Views0likes1Comment
