Steve,

Welcome to the FMCA Forum.

If that 38 hours in 9 years is anywhere close to accurate, a VERY high likelihood that the carburetor is gunked up and needs either an overhaul or

replacement.

Thanks for your reply, Wolfe.

The generator runs fine under a load. So that tells me the carburetor is ok. Am I correct? The generator stops when I take the load off. Yesterday, I started the generator. It ran fine. Turned on the refrigerator, hot water heater and the heat strip. Generator ran fine for an hour. Decided to turn off the hot water heater. When I did, generator stopped running and would not restart.

I have a 2011 Phoenix Cruiser class C. Generator is an Onan 4000. It starts, however when I remove the load, it stops and will not start until the next day. Just got it back from the RV shop. They put a new circuit board in.  The hour meter reads 38 hours. RV mechanic said seems to have many more hours on it. Checked the original papers and the generator serial numbers. They match. Talked to the previous owner who said he rarely used the generator.  Just got new Trojan AGM batteries. The previous ones where reading 12.8 volts but a specific gravity test indicated they were no good.

Thanks for your input,

Steve

Verizon too has an unlimited beyond jetpack plan.It will cost you,but it is truly unlimited.

Not anymore. As of October of 2019 the unlimited jet pack plan is only 20GB. After that you will be throttled. They will not always throttle you immediately after you reach the 20GB threshold.
