Onan Generator starts and won't stay running
Wanted to post this so it might help others if their generator starts giving them starting/running issues.
In December we headed to Yuma AZ to meet family.
We stopped the first night and went to use the generator, and it would not stay running. It would start, high rev and then shut down with fault codes. I did not know all the codes at the time, but it ended being over freq/voltage code.
We finished the trip and found a cummins repair place in our home town.
Took them the RV to diagnose and fix. It was under warranty also, since it was only 7 months old to us at the time.
They found the throttle linkage stuck at full throttle.
They unstuck it and it is now running fine.
Just wanted to share that if your generator starts, and hits full throttle and then shuts down, check the throttle linkage.
It might save you a trip to a replace place and high service fee's for something that is a simple fix.
