Burt,



Does it run? Does it generate power?

The Onan engines were pretty decent power plants but I understand that parts are not easy to find, at least for the older equipment. Something about when the company changed hands. But if it runs, who cares?

A heavy-duty generator is always saleable. It may not be as light and portable as the newer stuff but should be running long after the modern stuff has already been worn out and tossed out.

You've already got a couple of hours into it just getting it home...see if you can get it running and blow it out the door on CL!

My experiences with Onan come from a 200A welder driven with a 2 cylinder horizontally opposed engine. The welding generator can be converted to a power generator by flipping a big knife switch under the hood. Its a lot older than 1970, without any electric start--just an old-style rope start--but has been reliable as a rock, until the overhead muffler rusted out and let water run down into the cylinders. And just as heavy as a rock.

Photos?
