Re: Onan LP 3600 Generator - Hard Start
Of course, remove the cover of the gen set. Roughly in the center of the unit you will see a metal box about 3" X 3" (the propane regulator, I think). Mine has the legend embossed on it "Onan OHV". In the upper left corner you will see the tube attached to this box. I loosened the plastic hose clamp with pliers and just pulled off the tube. I couldn't reach the other end of this tube, even with my needle nose pliers so I just tapped the tube with the pliers and some debris popped out. Viola! That did it.

RVing for 10+ years - 100,000+ miles. I had been using Microsoft Streets & Trips for many years but it was discontinued about 2 years ago. I still have the 2013 version on my laptop but the POIs are outdated. I, too, found RV Trip Wizard the closest to MS S&T. Joe237Views0likes0CommentsRe: Onan LP 3600 Generator - Hard Start
SOLVED! After other fixes didn't work (topped off oil level), I went online and Googled "Onan LP Generator - Hard Start". A poster said a common hard start problem is caused by a clogged vent tube (about 1/2" outer diameter rubber hose - mine was cream colored). I pulled off the easy to reach end and tapped the hose a few times. Some dirt seemed to come out. Result - now works! Thanks to all who had responded.

Moved by me from Forum Tech Issues: We have an Onan 3600 LP generator in our 2010 Four Winds Chateau. Need to hold start button long time before start. Red light flashes rapidly on start button. Oil level about 1/2 full on dip stick. We are currently traveling in the motor home. Now in Durango, CO. Any thoughts on how to remedy? Thanks. Joe2.1KViews0likes6CommentsHard Start - Onan 3600 LP
