Well my onan is still behaving strangely and im stumped as to why.
the unit wanders and stumbles under no load and load conditions. I have trouble shooted the fuel system, and replaced the fuel pump. the carb o ring had rotted so I replaced that put it back on, and it seemed to run fine for about 45 minutes then the problems resumed.
it stumbles almost to the point of dying then it takes off again. I tried adjusting the governor, still no dice.
So I then tried to trouble shoot the control board with my DMM, when I got close to the gen, my multimeter goes haywire, with the digital readout literally having a granmaul fit, without the leads even touching anything! thinking my DVM took a dump I tested it on other items and it worked fine, when I got back within a foot of the gen it starts going nuts again, as if the gen is emitting some kind of EM field which is now screwing with my DMM which has never happened before since I have used the DMM to troubleshoot the green turd before.
I can only assume there is something within the genset going bananas which is causing this issue, but what could it be? is it generating some kind of EMP which is freaking out the electronics and ignition causing the stubmeling and the strange behavior of my DMM?
whats going on here! this is very strange behavior to say the least....
