Re: Onan Generator Starts Then Dies by Mel
Post New Message I took it to the Onan Service Depot this morning. They say I have to have a new Carburator and maybe a Controller board. I questioned them at great length. and here is what I found. They hooked a special circuit board up to the generator that bypasses all of the safety features and permits the unit to run it would run but was running rich and the choke butterfly had to be held open. to keep it running. the choke is controlled by the controller board. But they said that it will do that when there are problems with the carburator. I will find out Wednesday.. They had to order the carb. I had to pay up front for the part. I will keep the old carburator just in case. I was told that the carburator is the throw away type as they cannot be rebuilt. no extended warranty will pay for any carb work period. So I am stuck. But they will pay if the Controller board is bad.
