I have cleared off every thing off my list but getting the onan
running. in looking at the gmcws tech area, Duane Simmons has amazing
trouble shooting papers, however my very basic questions is.
In troubleshooting i have to jump 9 to 5. (mine runs when i hold the start down)

http://www.gmcws.org/Tech/dsimmons/onan/onan.html#run-w-switch-on

http://www.gmcws.org/Tech/dsimmons/onan/p04.jpg

in looking at it there are more than one 9 and 5 on the control board assembly

thanks for every ones patience.

On the board, there are the "upper pins" and the "lower pins." I am fairly sure that pins with the same numbers are connected inside the board. But they are talking about the lower pins... the upper pins are for the remote switch.

The diagram does have more than one of each number.... on each end of the same wire that is connected to the pin. The wires merge into a "single line" on the picture... simulating the wire bundle on most Onans.

OBTW, I jump pins 9 and 6 instead of 9 and 5. It leaves the on/off switch active.

Dave,

To add to what Mike wrote..

Looking at the diagram -- top right corner marked Control board assy A1 -- bottom right the third connection from the right, marked 9 (nine), further left to the seventh connection go up to 5 (five).

Does this help?

Mike,

One precaution about jumping 9 to 6 instead of 9 to 5: It eliminates the
fuse protection, leaving open the possibility of burning traces on the
board, as has happened all too often.

The 12v found on pin 6 is the same power that goes to the run time meter. I am fairly sure it is fused. (But haven't checked lately... might have done so in the past, but have forgotten....)

I just figured out how jumping pins >6< and >9< makes the Onan run and stop even with "bad boards". The power actually comes from pin >9< (fused) and when fed into pin >6< it acts as a latch for the relay >K3<. Pressing the stop button grounds the input of >k3< forcing it to deenergize.

So... Jumping pins >6< to >9< does NOT by pass the fuse.

Mike,

My apologies:

I've examined the circuit more closely in active states. I now agree with
you that the 6-9 jumper is a safe option since F1 is bypassed only
momentarily. However, as the following analysis shows, it's potentially of
limited value (Please, someone else analyze the operations to be sure the
convoluted logic hasn't discombobulated my CRS.):

START grounds K1 through K2NC. When K1 closes, it applies +12VDC BATT to
pin 6 via CR5. With the 6-9 jumper installed, that voltage is applied
directly to the ignition coil and the electric fuel pump (and solenoid
valve, if installed)(hereafter the Ignition/Fuel System). There is no
return path to any of the on-board circuits not protected by CR5, CR7, or
R2.

When the engine starts, the flywheel alternator supplies voltage to close
K2, opening K2NC, de-energizing K1 and closing K2NO. That action removes
pin 6 from +12VDC BATT and connects it through K2NO and CR7 to the F1
protected 12VDC. Only then does the LOP shutdown circuit become energized,
activating K3, closing K3NO, and activating the Ignition and Fuel systems.
Thus with the 6-9 jumper installed the Ignition/Fuel System is always
powered but ONLY if the starter is activated or the engine's running. The
LOP circuit is still powered and capable of interrupting K3, removing the
RUN supply to the Ignition/Fuel System.

Thus, the 6-9 jumper DOES seem to be a safe, effective alternative to 5-9.
And, it preserves the on-board protection of the LOP circuit. However,
that means that a flaw in the LOP circuit will prevent the engine from
continuing to run after started -- thus largely defeating the purpose of the
6-9 jumper.

Ken, Mike,

So jumping 5 and 9 eliminates all board safety functions.
Jumping 6 and 9 preserves the LOP (low oil pressure) feature.

It would seem that with that knowledge it would allow trouble shooting of the oil pressure switch and associated wiring.

If so, nice to know.

Thanks,

Dennis

sorry, laptop sent to quick

so i jumped 5 to 9 i do not here anything.( used (alligator clips
with 12 gauge between) i volt test it, i get 12.2 across. am i jumping
right? bad fuel pump?

Yes, when jumping 5/9 you should hear click click from fuel pump. The
clicking slows as it fills the float bowl. Follow the wire from the
fuel pump over the top of Onan -- mine has a connector near the
breaker switch -- make sure it is good -- and try checking voltage
there as well -- put multimeter on that end of wire and jump 5/9.

Bad pump is usually just a stuck pump. Cleaning the inside with
carb cleaner frees up the plunger.

The google shorten-ups did not work on the third and fourth photos -- I corrected those and my spelling on the forum. But, the photos can be seen when you open either of the first two -- in thumbnail, click to enlarge.

Yes, when jumping 5/9 you should hear click click from fuel pump. The
clicking slows as it fills the float bowl. Follow the wire from the
fuel pump over the top of Onan -- mine has a connector near the
breaker switch -- make sure it is good -- and try checking voltage
there as well -- put multimeter on that end of wire and jump 5/9.

Bad pump is usually just a stuck pump. Cleaning the inside with
carb cleaner frees up the plunger.

i noticed on mine that the 2 lines that feed the electric to the pump
(yellow and green) mine are both connected directly together. i also
have a 3rd line that just lays up there not attached to anything.

i think i am going to reconnect the two lines to make sure they are
well connected. any idea what the additional line is?

No,

Those are the wires to the voltage regulator. The fuel pump is below.. and only has one wire.
