Generator help

[bryaneva]

Im having trouble with my onan generator. I have a 2001 Roadtrek 190 and my generator will not start after tune-up.

What ONAN model do you have ? Look it over and make sure spark plug wires were reattached if plug changed, fuel turn off turned on. Should start right up...it's either spark or fuel. Check each one. Make sure the oil level (on some models) is full. Good luck

I have an microlite 2800. I've checked the spark plug connection.. Where is the turn off? Is it on top of the carburetor? It was running after the tuneup and a few hours later nothing.

Hmmm...you may not have a fuel shut off valve on that model. Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor and crank (or turn on "prime") and see if any fuel is getting through. (OF COURSE take all precautions so fuel doesn't ignite) Or drain carburetor bowl and see if fuel is present. If it's not fuel then it's spark...refer to the manual (Troubleshooting)
