My Onan Camp Power 2500 watt propane powered generator is running like crap, it starts (unless wet) but idles rough and spits & sputters when I put a load on it, I figure I need a tune up, but Onans web site will only show me service centers in Texas for some reason.
Question: Has any one had their generator serviced and can you recommend them after going through the experience?

Peter, I had real good luck at South Shore generator in Wareham, a few years ago, when I had a similar problem with the Onan in my old motorhome. www.ssgen.com/(508)295-7336 even though I had an older unit, they were able to get the parts I needed, in short order, and even had most of them in stock. |

Sounds like a carbon track on the plug wire or coil.

I wanted to post the results of my generator problem, after searching around some more I went to Ralco Electric in Westport 800-867-2526 for service and I'm happy to report that it was a very satisfactory experience, they went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied, they were very professional and I feel that the repair was very inexpensive.
Tommy was correct by the way, it was the plug and wire, but it was good to get the whole thing serviced and I should have piece of mind for the summer.
It's nice to know they are there, work on RV's and are factory authorized to service Onan, Generacs and others. I highly recommend them.

I also just had my Onan serviced at Ralco. Although they took some time the problems they found were significant (broken pin on the fly wheel, needing two coils, and a full tune up) their pricing was very reasonable and the service very professional.

Patrick, I used Ralco in Westport and was very satisfied with the result.

Bob Lebel just went there and had his serviced as well. Very quick service, very resonable price and very nice people.
thanks for the referral.

Had a problem with Onan generator shutting down after 15 min. Then could restart after 5 min and would run again about 15 min. Brought Motorhome to my mechanic and he immediately checked oil, which was just a little below half on crosscuts. He said Onan generators must be always above the half mark to full. Now it runs perfect. "MUST KEEP OIL LEVEL BETWEEN HALF AND FULL"
