Generator starts perfect but then cuts off
Is it diesel generator? Because i do not know Onan 3600 lp generator much. If it uses diesel fuel to drive, maybe you can reference some reason:
1.The fuel pipeline has air, and the fuel can't keep up with it. Solutions: Remove fuel and air according to instructions.
2.Air intake is insufficient or intake pipeline is blocked.Solution:check the intake pipe of the engine and replace the filter if necessary.
3. There is no oil in the tank or the oil valve has not been opened. Solution:Check fuel level of the fuel and fuel valve.
Here is an article about generator shutdown because air enters the fuel systemhttps://www.dieselgeneratortech.com/dies...

SOURCE: Oil type for Onan 4000 generator
SAE 15W-40 is what i used to use
synthetic? not sure about that one there may be oil pres switch that could give you a problem.
SOURCE: onan 4000 start good runs only ten minutsand shuts down,starts up
First locate the oil pressure switch and see if you can bypass it,then see if it runs. If not check the fuel filter and fuel pump,make sure solonoid for fuel pump is kicking on.
SOURCE: I have an onan 5500 gas generator that wont start
What is the model? Chances are the carb needs cleaning or replaced.
SOURCE: I have a 6500 lp onan marquis generator in my rv.
ONANS ARE PRETTY QUIRKY AS IT IS NOT CONSUMER FRIENDLY. THE GENSET IS DESIGNED FOR ROUTINE AND SIMPLE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY THE OWNER, AFTER THAT, U WILL NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER OR CUMMINS DIESEL REPAIR SHOP.
