Onan Microlite 2800 Generator Won't Turn Over

[No1UKnow]

Hi there! Trying to get the generator going on a 2006 Roadtrek 190 Popular in preparation for sale. It will probably need a new carburetor because it's been sitting. Meanwhile, I cannot get the generator to turn over, at least with the starter switch inside the van. It does nothing. DC Lights inside work. Any ideas?

Thanks!

If your batteries are not fully charged it may not turn over. Have you checked the Voltage in them? Lights working don't draw too much so if the batteries are low they might still work. Have you tried starting your Roadtrek and see if the batteries are charging? If it starts up let it run for a few minutes then try to start the genny with it running. Always try the simple things first .

Thanks for your response Which battery(ies) are used to start the generator? The main drive engine battery or the house?
