Re: Onan repair
I learned everything I know about any and all Onan generators the HARD WAY.....and trust me the coil wire issue was one that beat me up before I found it....
The first time I found one of those I had the generator in and out twice in one day and worked on it all day while the owner waited.....and it was very hot out that day......The owner was traveling around the USA and living in the M-H......A Florida retiree....
No you can't change the coil without removing the generator from the M-H if it has that type coil....
The older ones had a little blue coil mounted to the left of the spark plug and it could be replaced but never goes bad...
The newer style units mount the coil under the blower/flywheel
The unit has to be diassembled just to get at the coil. The coil wire is integral to the coil and can't be changed seperately......It fractures at the sharp bend it has to make as it heads toward the spark plug....
It will show you a weak spark and once the unit starts it gets worse.....and usually will not stay running......
