Why is my generator shutting off randomly?
Oil levels that are too low may cause your generator to shut-off. The truth is that your generator will start but may cause permanent damage to the engine. Newer generator models, such as Generac, have a “low oil shutoff sensor” automatically shutting off your generator when oil levels are running low.
What’s the problem with my Onan 5500 RV?
The problem is the Onan starts up and runs for about 10 minutes then shuts down. It will not restart immediately when I try. Just cranks and cranks and eventually I give up. Then I wait about 30 minutes and the gen will start and run for 10-15 minutes and then shut off again. Anyone have this problem? Any ideas?

Why does my Onan generator shut down soon after it starts?
But gas issues may not be the only reason why your Onan generator shuts down soon after it starts. You could be having an electrical or carb issue. If it is the carb, then you should have some sputtering before it dies.

Why does the oil pressure switch on Onan generator stick open?
The oil pressure switch of Onan generator often sticks open in case the unit has not seen any use for an extended period of time. In many cases, the situation could be resolved by multiple start/stop cycles, some light tappings should work as well. 2. Defective Control Board
