Does anybody know of any written Onan documentation stating the hourly intervals one should follow in a good maintenance program for removing the heads and then decarbonize?
If not, anyone with Onan experience have any recommendations?

Thanks,

Gary Bovee

Gary,

As I recall, the manual calls for decarbon at 200 hour services. It is easy enough to do and if you are careful you can reused the gaskets. I haven't even put 200 hours since I've owned mine, but when I have had a head off it was clean enough to not worry about.
