Onan Rv Generator Onan generator puts out 135 volts-is this adjustable or will I need to bite the bullet and pay a tech?
The local rv place checked the output, but they don't adjust generator voltage. Any Ideas?
Thanks!
The voltage produced is proportionate to the motor speed.Yes,it's adjustable by turning down the adjustment at the governor.Insert a voltmeter in an outlet then turn the adjustment until it reads 120 Volts.
My RV Onan Genset 4000 generator will no longer crank, just clicks.?
The unit is circa 1993 and has only 75 hours. I've had it for 4 years and no probs. Last week went to start and only got clicks, like low battery or poor connection. Battery is new but tried other even newer batt just in case. connections look clean. tried pulling spark plug but still would not spin, just click, click, etc. Wish these things had a pull cord or some way to manually start or just see if I could make it turn.
Depends what sort of click you mean? Is it coming from your starter motor or fuel solenoid? Before you do anything make sure you can turn over the engine by hand to ensure its not ceased. If that's OK check the wiring from the battery to the starter both pos and neg terminals on the starter and battery as well. If that's OK run a jumper wire from the positive lead on the starter to the either side of the solenoid, if nothing happens you have a bad starter or solenoid. Check the breaker on the control box to make sure it has not tripped. You can also wack the starter with something heavy because the Bendix on the starter shaft may be stuck with the fly wheel.
