Bob,

I had a similar thing happen to my SP generator several years ago. It
turned out to be a bad rectifier diode. One phase was bad which gave
the low voltage. It was relatively inexpensive (less than $50) and not
hard to replace (once you get the generator out of the bird). The info
on how to troubleshoot is listed in the Onan manual and I was able to
find them on the internet. Good luck.
