Thanks for quick suggestions. Changing the fuel filter should be fairly simple. Are they available at an auto parts store or do you have to get them from an Onan dealer?


As far as hours on my generator, I haven't looked in the last few weeks but it should be between 50 and 60 hours. When I bought it there were 29 hours on it and the coach had been in service with the original owner for just over 2 years. It only had 3,200 miles on chassis so I suspect original owner was seasonal camper that just parked it somewhere and didn't really travel or use gen set much. I guess that may be working against me as far as gummed up carb or bad fuel filter?


I get the "36" code which is useless as far as telling you exactly what is wrong with it.


My chassis (Ford) 3 year/36,000 mile factory warranty expired in May 2017, so that would indicate that the Onan would have been in service 3 years also in May of 2017. I may investigate to see if it is still covered under original warranty if I can't keep it running. My extended warranty would probably also cover it but I like to "bang my head against the wall" for awhile and fix my own issues first if possible.
