<p>You may want to check the oil level as the Onan's have an automatic shutdown feature if there is not enough oil . and be sure the exhaust is clear as well .</p>

<p>It sounds like the float in the ole carb.. Realtively common occurance. Fuel bowl getting enough fuel to bark over and run then sputter out. After rereading what you have done,,and quite possibly a callapsing fuel line from the main tank.</p>

<p>Ok so now I am getting upset, read Pissed. I have replaced the fuel shutoff solenoid, both fuel filters, the fuel pump and the battery. Gen starts right up runs about 30 min and shuts off. NOW WHAT?? What is left?</p>

<p>Ok, now I feel stupid. Double checked all the battery connections and found a ground wire that had fell down behind the huge battery. Hooked it up and hooray power to the gen set. Still wont run but cranks like a demon. pulled the fuel line and almost no gas at all when turning over the engine. Ordered a new fuel pump. HOPEFULLY that will cure what ails it. </p>

<p>Did you jiggle loose any wires,, besides the battery posts? And an odd question not to insult intellegence,, is the new battery fully charged? Ive bought new batteries before and yes,, they was deader then a door nail.</p>
