Default Re: Generator Help

How old is your existing Onan, how many hours on it and what is wrong with it?

I have done every repair imaginable on those and some are not worth fixing.....some are.

I can also get new ones as we are an Onan dealer...

Unless the engine blew up or it is a mess and worn out with thousands of hours on it.....it's probably repairable for less than $3000

I have repalced engines......and also generator ends......

A 4000 watt generator can give you 33 amps at 120 volts......and those Onan's are very good machines. They need to be maintained and are often neglected to the point of failure.....



I had one customer that had 7000hrs on one of those....

Some are a mess by 2000-3000 hrs.......
