Hoping to put this one to bed. The Onan is finally working the way it's supposed to.

All it took was a new Facet fuel pump from Applied GMC and a new Pertronix ignition system from Gary Bovee.

She's sitting in the driveway, purring like a kitten and running both roof AC units.

Hopefully this is the last of it.

One thing I forgot to ask Gary when I had him on the phone; can I open up the spark plug gap a little with the Pertronix ignition?

I will answer this because I have been working on this on and off for the last 12 years.....

NO

While the Pertonix mod does a lot for the regularity of the ignition, a lot of the problem is the dual fire coil is simply good for only so much.
There may be fixes for this, but Pertonix is not it.

Okay, thanks Matt. I'll leave it alone then (at .020). I was tired of working on it anyway.
