Okay, here is where I am at with the onan. The control board is toast. No problem. I have applied power to the coil/fuel pump/etc. and then to the starter and after a few cranks it starts and runs like a champ. I am going to be leaving the control board out of the equation. Nearly all of the wiring on my onan is rotting off anyway.
So now that it is running I check my output and get nothing. I try to remove the bridge rectifier and find that the bolt holding it in place is seized, and I break the BR reoving it from it's home. No big deal. The last time I was at Gemrecs I salvaged one from another old onan. I install it - being very careful I think to be sure that it is installed the same as the old one. Still nothing. I measure across the BR and get somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 volts. I get about the same when I measure the AC side. I also checked the circuit breaker on top of the unit and get the same voltage on both sides.. nothing.
Can you guys give me some more hints where to start?
Thanks!!
Drew
