Well, I'm not sure I "love" my Onan, but I've solved most of its problems.
I resoldered all the connections on the control board
I installed something like the Bovee ignition before he had it developed. I wish I had waited.
I converted it to dual-fuel using Jerry Work's kit.
I only run it on propane. My problem with gasoline is that the Onan serves as the first warning of vapor lock when I'm driving. Shortly after the Onan quits, my 455 does as well. Not a problem when running on propane. On propane, it starts promptly, doesn't smell as bad as gasoline, and the oil never seems to darken. No choke required since the propane comes in as a gas.
Well, I guess I do love it now.
