Alcohol laced gas sitting and turning to jelly is an issue for all small gas engines today. Seems we have to clean out the fuel system every year on everything from string trimmers to pressure washers to generators.
For less than $300 you can order a kit from USCarburetion that will allow your Onan to run on either propane or crap gas at the flick of one toggle switch. If it runs at all now, even poorly, it will run far better on propane. If it doesn't run now, it is far cheaper to add an electronic ignition (to eliminate faulty ignition issues) and a propane kit (to eliminate all the crap gas issues) than it is to change out the Onan for something else. Add these two and run a 12dc switched source to the positive side of the coil (to eliminate bad board issues) and it will run like a charm for years to come. Just keep an eye on oil level and you are good to go. Low oil shutdown is the only rational thing the pesky board did anyway. Max investment? Around $500.
There is a reason all new gas motorhomes use propane generators with electronic ignition.
