Hello,
I have a Onan Marquis 5500 and a possible problem.  The geraerator makes a clicking sound while running.  The sound is very familiar to the "priming" clicking noise at start up.  It makes the noise almost exaclty every 2 minutes and lasts for about 12 seconds.  I purchased the MH used last fall and the generator has always made the noise. The generator runs fine and I have put about 160 hours on it in this condition, but I afraid it is a sign of trouble.  The control panel is not flashing any error codes and it does not skip a beat.  Between Nascar and Football tailgating, i will not have much down time to have it repaired (thats why I havent yet).  I have check for loos connection and all appears solid. 
Any help would be much appreciated, sorry for the run on.......
ONAN 5.5 model HJAB-901C
