Hello!
Ok, I just purchased a 1994 coachmen Santara and it's 39 ft long. The generator is an Onan 6500. I brought it to a mechanic and they said it didn't work and I needed a new one. However, I read that if the gas tank is below 1/4 tank it won't start. So I added gas and it started just fine. Now it won't start and I take my finger off the start button and it doesn't maintain. I think the oil is low? Could that be it? And I just read that I shouldn't run a load unless I let it warm up. I've only turned it on a few times but let it run for 5 minutes. Did I ruin it? Thank you!!!!! I teach yoga and run a small nonprofit so I need to save money and do this myself if possible.
