Many thanks to Jim Miller and Jim Hupy for their help and suggestions my
6000 W onan had been running rough so I decided to rebuild the carburetor
in doing so forgot to put the inner gasket on the float bowl retainer
leading to days of confusion but finally figured that out . Jim Miller
suggested burnishing the points that was probably the problem originally.
Now I decided to install pertronix ignition and the new points so I now
have two ignition systems both functioning well ...so far. My problem now
is that it won't start unless I jump power straight to the positive side of
the coil at which time I hear the fuel pump working it it then starts
and runs fine i disconnect the jumper from the battery immediately upon
starting. Already installed a new board. Looking for any suggestions.
Thanks a lot,
Ron Preston
