My 6K Onan has sat since early March without running. I went into the coach
yesterday for an all systems check, and hit the start button on the ONAN.
3ea 10 second bursts on the starter, and she fired up and settled right
down to her governed speed. 15 seconds later, the automatic transfer switch
changed from shore power to generator power, and I turned on the roof air.
Not a burp, or a stumble. Always does that, no issues. It has the
electronic ignition that is crank triggered by a magnet mounted on the
flywheel. Gary Bovee's kit. Works swell. No ignition points to foul. All
systems checked out. She is ready to roll. All we need now is to get rid of
Covid 19, and the wildfires and accompanied smoke.
