    Check the throttle. If it's stuck in the onan you will have to call the coast guard...

    If it's a 6.5 kw gasser, the fuel pump relay might not be passing current to the pump. Will it start if you spray carb cleaner into the intake? If so, then the relay might need to have its connections cleaned and tightened, or, replace the relay. The relay energizes when the start button is pushed. There are usually three fuses on the control panel and one of them might be the culprit. Good luck.
