Vic ,you have to hold the stop side of the switch for about 10 seconds and then release it , then it will flash the secondary code.

Vic, when was the last time you changed the air filter on the Gen.? Something that simple caused mine to not start. Oh, BTW, the gen set code lite should blink, then pause and blink again. Read these as separate codes. Hope this helps........Don

I had all kinds of problems with my Onan, it would run fine until it had run for a while, and was shut off. When trying to restart it would throw a code 34, and would have to get completely cold before it would restart. Turned out to be a weak fuel pump. Replaced fuel pump and it always starts now. Replaced fuel filters, fuel line, module. Good luck it can be a real pain.

Vic, here's a link to the manual for your Onan.
Page 25 on up is code reading and definitions with trouble shooting.
Your code could be code 11 or 21.
