I've got a 1988 Wheelhorse 520H with a 20 HP Onan engine. The engine will not start after it has been sitting for more than a few hours. It cranks fine and as soon as I spray some starting fluid in the air cleaner it fires right up and then runs great. I can then shut it off and restart it no problem, but if it sits for a few hours I have the same problem. When I disconnect the hose from the outlet of the fuel filter and crank the engine, I get plenty of gas squirting out of the filter. The gas is fresh. Any ideas?

Run a compression check on it. Onan engines were bad about carbon breaking lose and scoring the pistons and/or cylinder walls.
