RV Repair: GENERATOR ( ONAN ), town cleaning, vapor lock
QuestionGENERATOR STARTS BUT TURNS OFF AFTER ABOUT 3-5 MIN. WILL NOT START AFTER THAT. CK.FUEL AND FUEL PUMP SEEMS TOO BE GETTING FUEL.
AnswerDo you smell gas, like a rich situation? Could be a loading up carb. Could be vapor lock. May be a good time to consider cleaning the carb. I doubt anything electrical is wrong. I had a snow blower did the same thing. It was brand new, ticked me off. It was the carb. I pulled it all apart and cleaned it up. Put it together. Now starts and runs great. Get some brake cleaner and go to town cleaning.
