I have a 1976 Eleganza II with the original generator. It turns over but will not start. The mechanic says I should just replace it. Any thoughts on repair?

Ron,

Is the "mechanic" and RV mechanic?
If he is, go find a small engine shop. They will have had lots of experience dealing with this family of Onan.
Go to Bdub's first and download all the stuff for the NH Onan that you can find. Then do as suggested and get the Duane Simmons stuff too.

If it does not start and run, that is an engine only issue. The only thing that the engine end and the AC end have in common is the shaft between the two and the coach that carries it. The engine design qualifies a neolithic (New Stone Age). No Rocket Science here.

With the withdrawal of the Honda 6010 from the market, there are not many replacements that are worth the investment.
