Onan Aux Issue

David I work on newer machines primarily so we do not keep parts on the shelf for an older machine like that.

I would not worry about the points since that is not likely your problem.

Not sure if anyone even makes a kit to eliminate the points.

I did try to install one of those kits on an old BF but it did not work properly. Had to stay with the points.

You can jump a 12v+ wire to the coil+ terminal and see if it stays running.

That would pretty much tell you the ignition 12+ power is not being supplied after you let go of the start button.

These machines are not complicated by todays standards....
