My new to me 2002 Challenger generator was VERY hard to start from the day I purchased the MH two years ago. But it always did start and ran just fine. I have a W22 chassis under the MH. The Chevy started at the turn of the key until this spring.
After I replaced the chassis battery this spring. Lo and behold! The 5kw Onan starts as soon as I bush the start button!!!! I mean like turning on a light bulb fast!
I just thought I would put this education to me out there for others to consider if they have generator starting problems, even on Fords.

My 01 Damon Intruder with an Onan was hard to start when I bought it in February. I thought it just didn't like cold weather. I changed the air filter (NAPA), changed the oil (15w40 diesel oil) and replaced the spark plugs (Auto Zone). WOW! What a difference! Starts like a new unit now! Even when cold.
