Go to our web sight under ONAN and see the prime switch.
It was developed by our late Duane Simmons, and lot of us love it as we
press the button fo several seconds first then hit the starter.
These are things you learn at tech seminars at club and regional get
togethers.
Also look us up on our web site to see what options are available.
You can get them from other suppliers as well.
