While dry camping at the dunes this weekend, my usually trustworthy Onan started acting up. I had it running to bring the batteries up to charge and charge netbooks, cell phones, etc, plus heat some water, and microwave some of the dinner. Right after the water heater turned it's self off, the Onan started to cough, surge, and backfire. I shut it off and turned to the internet for help.

I found Duane's info on Gene's site, and read in the trouble shooting info to jumper terminal 9 to terminal 5. This was after I checked the fuel pump, and disassembled the carb, cleaned it, and reassembled it. As soon as I connected the jumper wire, the fuel pump started running and when I hit the start switch, it fired up and ran as well as it ever has. I had to do the same thing tonight when I went to fire it up.

Does this sound like a bad control board, or could it be a problem with the low oil circuit?

Thanks guys.
