Docwheelhorse 2,660 #1 Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Hello all, Miss the show already... wish it was like a week long!! Lol Anyways... I sold this tractor with ~300 odd hours 5 or 6 years back. It quit 2 or 3 years back and was left in field where it died. Friend said "no spark..." can I fix. I reluctantly agreed to and dreaded it... but today I took all apart, gave it a bath and started taking all 500 screws and bolts out to get to ignition module. Clean cylinder barrels and so on... With tip from @Sparky I downloaded manual from here on RS and started following ignition troubleshooting step by step. Found issue, tested for spark... got exact results that Onan says is good to go and BOOM.... fire in pipes! Going back together now and then a long run to make sure it's not heat related. Lincoln from A-Z parts also was very helpful in letting me know ow tips and tricks to look for P.S. let me know what you think of the auxiliary heavy duty cooling kit! 20230625_123621.mp4 Tony 20230625_123936.mp4 20230625_123259.mp4 Edited June 25, 2023 by Docwheelhorse Added more content 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jrblanke 857 #4 Posted June 25, 2023 Sounds like it runs awesome! Good work! I enjoyed learning a little bit about the Onans this past weekend when @wallfish and @jay in nc were working on that 20hp onan at the show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, it had no compression in the front cylinder and when the head was pulled the valve was spinning on the seat. Likely a broken exhaust spring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope whoever bought it gets it running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
