Onan 7000 generator runs but does not produce electric to rv
First verify that the breaker for the outlets is not tripped and make sure that the generator is running at full operating speed. let it run for 5-10 minutes and check for output power. If there is nothing, there are two possible problems. One could be that the automatic voltage regulator is bad. The other is that the field needs to be flashed - a high possibility if the generator has not been run in a long time. There are many videos on the internet that show you how to solve both of these problems. Just do a search for No output from a portable power generator.

My generator will turn over but wont start
Our motorhome Onan 5000 Marquis generator will turn over and try to start but fails everytime we test. We have primed, gas and oil are fine and we have new spark plugs. We also changed the gas filter on the generator. Any suggestion? Thanks, Loretta

Physical location of control board on an Onan 5500
It is right behind the start switch. There is one bolt that holds your start switch housing down, remove it and the housing. You will see the P1 connector with a lot of wires plugged into the control board

My generator runs fine till you kick the ac on.
many generator problems is in the carburetor when you put a load the engine requires much more fuel and air most likely it's your carburetor jet and fuel tube are resticted especially if you had the generator stord for quite some time
