Onan sorta fixed with the new control board, but a few times it would stutter like it was starting, then stopping over and over. Seems to have "gone away" not sure that this is entirely fixed now, but all the connections seem tight.

Anyhoo, I'm away from my coach manuals, and I need the color code for the remote wires. I don't have the 12-pin connector, and I lost the diagram I made. There are four. red black orange white. need the corresponding pins on the spade connectors on top of the board if anyone has them handy.

There was a little water in the gas tank.

Never mind. Figured it out. Colors are different. Stupid schematic on line for the GMC doesn't show pinouts, but does tell which terminal on the switch has what color, then the Onan manual tells the rest. Nice that the terms on the onan match the terms on the switch # for #.

Chris,

The control board harness connects to the Onan through a multi pin connector. The pins in that connector are numbered. Pin number 1
in the connector goes to pin number 1 on the control board, number 2 goes to number 2 and so on.

Emery showed me this when he was helping me with my Onan last summer.

The pin numbers on the connector are hard to see, especially for an old fart that wears glasses that's- ME - ME - ME!

Regards,
Rob M.

The Quickie was a single place composite aircraft powered by the Onan engine

Quote:

The original Quickie was designed around the 18-hp Onan industrial engine, which is still available to some degree, but several other engines have successfully powered the plane. Perhaps the most successful is the now obsolete Rotax 503. However, the 582, half VW, and even the four-cylinder VW have a proven track record. But with the recent success of the Generac 990-cc V-twins, the 20-hp Kohler, the Briggs & Stratton Vanguard, or even the Honda GX series, it seems that fitting an engine won’t be an issue.
