    Onan float woes

    I recently swapped my Onan. It starts and runs reliably— for a while. After a few minutes it starts to run rich and eventually dies. It will then refuse to start for a while. Assuming it was slowly flooding, I disconnected the fuel pump's 12v supply and started it up. It struggled to start, but...

    Onan 6k choke options

    My choke is not working well and because of that my Onan really struggles to run when cold. Searching the forums I saw that someone recommended a WisCon unit from EBay, however that thing is very expensive. Are there any other options?

    Onan clunking on start up

    My Onan has been making a weird clanking/pinging noise right as it starts. Noise lasts for half a second and after that it runs great. Anyone have any idea what that sound is? (I recently replaced the starter bracket and had the starter rebuilt.)

    How to get Onan's flywheel back on?

    I recently took Onan's flywheel off to replace a starter bracket. Now I'm having trouble getting the flywheel to re-seat. Tried using a wood block and hammer to tap it back on but it's still 1/2" from where it needs to be.

    Onan sagging so hard the fly-wheel rubs

    Just when I thought I had the Onan road-trip ready... I tried sliding it back in it's drawer, and starting it up... it sounded horrible, so I slid it back out to see what the trouble was. Started it up while slid out and it sounded fine. Slid it back in while it was running and SPARKS flew out...

    Can I charge two batteries with Progressive Dynamics Converter/Charger?

    Now that I've got the Onan running and making power ⚡, I'd like to set it up so that it's battery (dedicated battery in the gen compartment) is changed from the Progressive Dynamics 9200 Converter/Charger in the electrical cabinet when plugged into shore power. Can I just run an additional line...

    Further into Onan resurrection: clicking starter solenoid with new battery

    y'all have been so helpful for me and my new GMC, so thank you! Can't wait to take it out with the family. Last "big" project is getting the Onan generating reliable power ⚡️⚡️ Currently I'm having trouble getting it to turn over. The start button works, and it's hooked up to a new battery...
