Open Roads Forum  >  Tech Issues  > Onan 7000 stops after 15 minutes consistently Reply to Topic  |  Subscribe  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 3   Next RecRe8 • View posts NE Ohio Full Member Joined: 04/04/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/08/09 10:38am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator All, We have a strange problem. I did an oil and filter change before leaving on a 7-hour trip. It ran fine on the way, but as we returned home, it stopped after 15 minutes with one air conditioner running. After it cools off, (30 minutes or so) it will start right up, but again it will stop after 15 minutes. The oil level is fine. Just after it quits, it appears that there is no spark when it is in this "state". Fuel is getting to the generator. I'm thinking the oil sensor might be the issue, but if this is the case, why does it run for 15 minutes? Is it possible the oil sensor is failing when the oil is hot? -Neil bigdaddy & littlemama • View posts Carthage, TN Senior Member Joined: 07/03/2001 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/08/09 10:44am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Ckeck the fuel filters, Also what type of fuel does it use, not in your post. bigdaddy & littlemama and "Miss Lucy & Chucky" '02 Allegro Bay 35DB W22 "07 X Unlimited Wrangler '05 Harley Trike Our other coach is a school bus(yes, we both drive) JFG • View posts TN Senior Member Joined: 07/01/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/08/09 10:50am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator What fault code is it reading when it stops?

'95 Allegro Bay with Onan 7000 (Gas) There are no electronic displays for the 500 hour genset. I guess I ruled out the fuel filter since the problem is extremely consistent.

What do you see?

The light on the interior start switch just goes out when the generator quits. * This post was edited 09/08/09 11:44am by RecRe8 * JFG • View posts TN Senior Member Joined: 07/01/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/08/09 11:11am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Do you have over 1/4 full tank of gas in fuel tank... RecRe8 • View posts NE Ohio Full Member Joined: 04/04/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/08/09 11:38am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Yes, the tank is full and fuel level in the main tank (full thru 1/4) makes no difference. robatthelake • View posts Vancouver Island Senior Member Joined: 08/24/2003 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/08/09 12:38pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator The Fault code is read at the Genset Switch not the remote! If you have the manual look in the Troubleshooting Guide. If Not Down load one from the Onan website!

Without that information we can only guess at what you have and unless we know what it is, it'll only be a guess.
