What happens when we run a diesel engine on no load?
Running an engine under low loads causes lower cylinder pressures and consequent poor piston ring sealing since this relies on the gas pressure to force them against the oil film on the bores to form the seal. Thispoor combustion leads to soot formation and unburnt fuel residues which clogs and gums piston rings.

You might give Onan a call to verify that your generator does give fault codes and/or ask them for advice on troubleshooting: 800 888-ONAN. I agree, the 4000 is air cooled. I also beleive it is a splash lube engine. I don’t think it has a low oil sensor.
Why is my generator not working in my camper?
Your generator is also recharging your house battery or batteries, so you may be drawing more power than you know about. You might hear the generator struggle and then die. The generator may restart just fine, but even after the short built-in delay you may find you have no power in your camper. You probably just tripped the Onan circuit breaker.
What causes a portable generator to stop producing power?
What causes generators to stop producing power/voltage? The most common cause of portable generators failing to produce electricity is from the loss of residual magnetism. Generators work by moving electrical conductors through a magnetic field. Your generator does not have magnets.

How often do you need to run a generator?
Another reason to run the generator monthly for 45 minutes minimum under 50% minimum load. Along with drying out the electrical part of the generator, it keeps fresh fuel in the carburetor. If you can’t run it while stored, consider disconnecting the fuel line and with no load on the generator, running it out of fuel.
