Onan 4000 KY - Wont start Dennis 7-17-08  
Generator is only 4 yrs old, its in my toyhauler. Unit has a aux gas tank, unit was left in storage for about a yr. Gas in tank was bad, tank was drain, added new gas with Stabil. Generator still wont start, carb is getting gas (pulled bottom drain plug gas flows good). Checked spark plug, looks clean and there is good spark to the plug. Generator only has 6 hrs on it. Check air filter, filters clean. even tried start it with starter fluid, no dice. Any ideas on what the problem may be? Thanks Dennis

HOW DO YOU REMOVE CARBURETOR WITHOUT REMOVING THE ENTIRE GENERATOR UNIT FROM RV COMPARTMENT? IS THERE A SPECIAL METHOD?
