The Onan is a pretty simple and reliable machine.

Upgrade to electronic ignition using Bovee's kit or DIY. Gives faster starts and much smoother running engine:

Add the fuel pump priming button on the inside control panel gives you instant starts rather than cranking and cranking while the fuel pump gets primed and fills the carb.

Fingers crossed, but my 2000+ hour Onan runs like a top. I haven't had any carb issues, but there is a carb kit around the shop somewhere.
