Onan runtime failure James Lee 7-2-07  
Onan NHM Marquis III 7KW in a 93 RV. Origional equipment. Cranks fine and rns well for 10-15 minutes. Then just shuts down. Shuts down is quicker in hotter weather. Generator will recrank after a few minutes but will not run as long until it shuts down again. Recrank and runtime seems to depend on the down time between shutdown and restart. I put the AC units on alternate and that stress does not effect the running of the generator. The fuel filter has been changed. Have some advice?

Thanks

Jim

Check for broken fan belt. You should have strong airflow out the bottom. The belt can be replaced without tearing into genset.

I have the same problem as Jim, however my manuel does not show a fan belt, the fan is mounted on the generator shaft...
I have changed plugs, fuel filter, and no success, ANY Help is greatly appreciated..

Same problem her I think I traced it to the electric fuel pump, maybe it stops pumping when it gets hot. The last time mine quit I took off the fuel line put it into a pickel jar cranked it no fuel
