Of course this concerned me, but to rule everything out, since I hadn't done any maintenance yet, I replaced everything, spark plug, oil (15W30), fuel filter, and air filter. Plug is gapped correctly, and I'm in WI that's why I chose that oil viscosity. I started it after changing everything, but the oil, and it kicked up right away, but ran a bit rough at first. Then I changed the warm oil out with the 15W30 and ran it again for a while, again started out rough, but smoothed out.
This afternoon, I'm back to the same problem. I get 3 flashes, 3 flashes, 3 flashes, etc, which seems to be the most general and least informative code. One thing I noticed with the old plug, it was extremely black, with either an oily or gas substance on it, I tend to think gas, which makes me think maybe the carburetor is too rich? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Quoted from the link.
"Code 3 - Service Check
When you see this code, it indicates that there is a problem somewhere on your Onan generator. You will get 3 flashes then a pause, then 3 flashes, then a pause and on it goes till you press the button to get the secondary code."
The codes you're looking for are
3 1, 3 2, 3 5, 3 6 or 3 7
Already mentioned
there is no code 3 3
