Have a onan 4500 watt generator on a bucket truck.
Onan units have a breaker switch on them that has to be in the right position or you get no power. Can't tell you for sure where it is on the 4500 but on the 4000 RV series it is tucked in behind the on board start switch
I actually have a Onan
Hello,
It does sound like your fuel pump is having issues, or the relay that controls the pump is the culprit.
If you have one, put a multimeter across the fuel pump wires. Start the generator, you should have 12volts when trying to start, as well as when the generator is running. If you dont, then you are looking at a control relay failure. If you do have the 12volts, wait for the generator to start surging, and monitor the voltage. If it stays at 12, then you are looking at a failed pump.
If you post the Onan Model / Spec / Serial number, I may be able to find a service manual for you.

hi
check that the voltage regulator is in good working order,
check insure the governor is free from dirt and that the retainer light spring is not fouling , and check the volcanizing elements are not shot circuiting or the insulation is braking down
Our onan generator ran out of gas. we refueled but
No, not the filter, you will need to try to prime the carb better then with starting fluid, pour some gasoline down the carb, you may have to do this a few times, but everything will fire back up again once you get the air out of the system
