Re: Troubleshooting an Onan 2800
Must have been the fuel pump. Running a 1500w ceramic heater, 750w block heater and 200w lamp. Replaced fuel pump with an E8016S. Still troutleshooting a stalling issue. When a load is introduced it'll stall. If I turn the heater off and back on it cannot handle the sudden call for power. If I start the motor with the load (yes, bad) the motor will pull the load.

We recently acquired a 1995 Roadtrek Popular 210 (chevy) with an Onan 2800 Microlite. Generator cranks and runs very well. Makes power. Runs smoothly. But after about 3min it shuts down. It will start right up again and run for 10-20sec and then shut down again with just a little choke (actuated by my finger on the control arm). I've disconnected the remote start/stop controller.... same issue. Disconnected any electrical load. Plenty of oil. Fuel filter is good. Fuel pump seems to work. It pumps fuel when I disconnected the hose... maybe it quits after a few minutes. Planning to rig up another fuel pump to verify. When shuts down, it doesn't bog/surge like it is running out of fuel... it sounds like it was switched off. If it's not the fuel pump I'm guessing it's an issue with the ignition coil. Any other thoughts? Thanks! Mac2.3KViews0likes12Comments
