Scrapah - Thank You! I didn't think about fuel efficiency, AQMD regulations (Air Quality Management Board), and parts availability. When this generator was made, most of us had never heard of OPEC and $5 could buy more than a half a tank of fuel. Muscle cars, with big block engines, 4 barrel carbs, and speedometer's that went pass 120 mph.
Where I live the AQMD regulates all sources of air pollution and this generator, I doubt would pass their scrutiny. Here they regulate lawn mowers. fireplaces, dust from construction sites and just about everything concerning air quality.
Parts from Cumin's - Onan would not be obtainable, as I have already checked. They only sell the air and oil filters for this machine. There are companies that sell used, refurbished, and after market parts though.
The good news is this generator is all there with the only thing missing is the battery. There is a lot of people that still like these old machines. The old Onan generators almost have a "cult" type of enthusiast from my internet researches.
I don't have a eBay account and have had very little success with selling on craigslist. I'm going to try to sell it on craigslist, maybe with this being one of their largest markets, I'll get lucky this time!
