I have a onan microquiet 4000 rv generator and it all of a sudden won't run.. It will start but the min you let go of the start switch it kills itself.. Any ideas????

RE: electrical

Many generators will not run if there is an engine fault.  This could be low oil, over temperature or over speed.  It could also be a bad sensor or loose connection on a sensor.  It could also be the safety relay holding contact, the stop button contact.

I would check the oil and coolant then break out the multi-meter and start trouble shooting.
