Onan 2.7AJ-18 12020M Generator won't stay running

[Mental72]

Hello, I have an Onan 2.7AJ-18 12020M. I know nothing about it, but being on this forum has been a big boon in learning about it and the rest of my RV. I just got back from hooking a charged battery to the generator and it started up almost every time, it just didn't stay running. It looked like the throttle was wiggling back and forth a lot, but I need to get the manual and read up on it. Anyway, wanted to say thanks for all the help I've gotten just lurking in the shadows so far.

The manual is available through the Member Area.

Sorry, while the manual numbers are there, that is one version I could not find manuals for.
