Onan's can be fixed. It is just a matter of digging in and working the issues 1x1.

But please be very careful with an onan dealer. I personally would never take a 1978 ford f-250 to a ford dealer, for many of the same reasons I would never take my onan in my gmc to a cummins dealer.

The onan is a simple engine that just needs an old school mechanic type person to dig in and follow the readily available troubleshooting guides available on the gmc sites.

Gary bovee's ignition kit. And it is pretty easy to get an onan running well.

Hi Jon - like I said to Matt - the two local shops don't seem to want to look at an Onan d/t some apparent problem getting parts if they need them - I guess maybe they won't sell to them. I should put them in touch with Jim K! So maybe I will just grab my neighbour again and see if we can do some more tracking. He IS an old small engine guy - actually worked with some bigger Onan's up in the bush logging many years ago - recognized this one as soon as he saw it. I think with some work (and time) we can get her going.

But I do like the sound of that ignition upgrade!
