Vent tube and Hour meter

[gene]

If you look at this article about the primer switch,

http://www.california.com/~eagle/onan.htm

you will see pictures that show the connection to the hour meter from the
start switch. If you run the Onan and look for the line that has 12 volts
on it while running,(just like for the primer switch) you can use this
connection to attach the hour meter. At the same time, you can install the
primer switch ;>)

fins and no vent tube access to clean out the rust. From the access
compartment looking up the tube, it ends below the vents and wouldn't let
anything be pulled out of it anyway. Am just looking for a way to clean
out the rust.

extra wires by the remote panel or starter so will want to install it back
by the Onan itself. Anyone know where to hook it up back there?

As for the hobbs meter. Just find the line going to the fuel pump or ignition. They are only normally running when the Onan is ruining (IIRC). That's all the meter needs plus ground.

I'm really surprised the coach wasn't pre wired for the remote panel. How many wires did you find?

Franz,

When my fridge quit working on propane, I first suspected a clogged flue /
vent. Couldn't get to it from the rear or the top vent, had to pull out the
fridge to clean the pipe. Sounds worse than it is, really!

Good luck,
