We've been having an issue with the Onan in our newly purchased '76
Eleganza. It will run under load for about 30-60 minutes, then stumble and
stall. No amount of cranking will get it to start again until at least 30+
minutes have passed. I suspect a fuel delivery issue or that it is
overheating, and was wondering if there is a thermal shutdown switch
somewhere that shuts it down to prevent overheating. The problem seems to
occur more often if the outside temperature is above 85 degrees, and it
occurs even when the fuel tank is full. It also has plenty of oil, so I
don't think it's the low oil switch.
