I have a 2003 Onan Marquee Gold 5.5 HGJAB-901B gas unit with 194 hours. I run the unit monthly and keep the fuel tank full as not to have problems with condensation. The oil & filter was changed recently and has about 10 hours at present. The fuel filter has not been changed and that is my first step in trouble shooting. If it does not start, my next step is to check the fuel pump along with the fuel lines to be sure that it is not a fuel problem. This is the first of any problem I had with the unit.
My Onan was running for approximately 20 minutes for the monthly exercise and she just quit. I was running 2 AC’s, the hot water heater and the frig to give it a good workout (+/- 36-42 amps) planning for the hurricane season. I have an EMS system that manages the electrical system with sharing different components as not to over load the unit. So, this problem should not be the cause.
When I heard it shut down, I turned everything off and tried to start it. It will run as long as I hold down the start button, but when I release it, it stops. The trouble shooting code indicating on the switch is 32. That indicates low cranking speed or low battery power. I check the battery connections and put a charger on the batteries which is not the problem. I tested the house batteries with a battery tester and it is in the green area. The oil is full and still clean/clear. I flipped the 30 & 20 amp breakers on the unit itself with no avail.
What are my alternatives for the next step? Inquires will be appreciated. Thanks to all.
