This will be my last post on this topic unless it is to say fixed!
Review: Onan runs quiet and smooth for the first 15-20 mins. then dies. On restarts it dies after 3-4 secs. Seems hot.
We have the paper manuals and Tom Lins' CD and have went through everything in them.
In the last year we have replaced the board, fuel pump, fuel lines, spark plugs,air filter and air cleaner, changed oil, exhaust system with extended tail pipe (onan ran fine the first 5 days out)Cleaned and set point gap ( no access to new) and fine tuned the fuel mix. Shrouding has been removed to check for nests or anything that might impede cooling.
Oil is checked before each start and we bypassed the LOP switch in our trouble shooting efforts.
Any new suggestions before it hits the ocean (we are in the Everglades).
