Hi Everyone.
Just purchased a 1977 GMC Kingsley 26’ Motorhome (Elvis) after many years of wanting one. I have enjoyed every minute of the experience so far. I know these machines are 40 years old now but nothing can beat the style and cool factor of a GMC! Recently I took it on it’s innaugural run from Calgary, Alberta to Yakima, Washington and back with no problems. The one issue I am dealing with is the Onan generator. I had a friend look at it who does more modern generator repair and we think it might be the board?? I have also been watching the responses on the list about the Dinosaur replacement boards vs. the original boards. My generator cranks over fine but won’t start. There is no spark at the plugs. I tried to follow the troubleshooting guide but that didn’t seem to help. It sounds to me like the Dinosaur board is not that reliable. Is there someone in the network who can diagnose Onan boards and repair them. Locally the Onan/Cummins dealer is willing to sell me a new one for $1,150 CDN or a local RV shop can get me a Dino board for $363 CDN or I can source one out of the USA for $150-175 USD next time I go to Florida. I wouldn’t mind sending my Onan board away to be diagnosed, but who can I trust to do that??
Still can’t get enough of Elvis!!
