What is a normal life span for the Onan Genset? Mine has almost 700
total hours on it. Chuck in Lompoc

That is low hours and if you have serviced it right should get many more.

Dan-
Mine did exactly the same thing. Real exciting when it happened first
time and I had just gotten out of the shower!!!
I had the unit serviced and they said that they found the solenoid
gear/shaft was loaded with dry, hard grease. Once that was removed and
cleaned up it works just fine now. Probably was the original lubricant
that had gotten hard and dirty with age. Suggest you pull the starter
and solenoid and take a look.
