I have an Onan HDKAK 8 KW Diesel Generator that just clicks but will not start.
First of all I did do a search and also read the troubleshooting section of the Onan Manual.
The suggested problem is low voltage from the starting battery.
I have alread done several things.
I tried starting the main engine and also using the boost switch to tie the batteries together. No difference.
I checked the voltage at the terminals on the back bottom of the generator and read 13.8 volts.
I had hoped that it was a loose connection in the cable between the batteries and the generator.
I was not able to check the voltage while cranking because I am alone. The cable connections seem to be tight.
Any ideas would be welcome.
