Hi folks. Some of you may have seen on one of the Facebook sites that I had trouble with the Onan during a camping adventure last week. I'm no electrician, but thankfully my father-in-law was with me and is fairly knowledgeable about such things. After going through the troubleshooting steps in the Onan manual, we were only able to make it run by jumpering 12V from the 5A fuse directly to the ignition coil. After doing so it would start right up via the pushbutton. We could then remove the jumper and it would continue running.
My control board is still the original. Is it worth attempting to repair it (not that I know what to do in order to fix it), or is a modern replacement Dinosaur version the recommended way to go? My father-in-law's opinion was that a new board would likely be less serviceable, basically a throw-away kind of thing vs. the original. I just need the darned thing to work.
Any advice is appreciated!
