ssecoy 0 #1 Posted July 14, 2014 I recently picked up an older wheelhorse with a 16hp onan but can not locate the serial or model#??? I'm assuming the sticker is gone. Can anyone help me figure out the year and model? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-101plowerpower 1,605 #6 Posted July 14, 2014 off white or grey/silver rims? Koen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssecoy 0 #7 Posted July 14, 2014 Silver Grey/silver with wheelhorse hubcaps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-101plowerpower 1,605 #8 Posted July 14, 2014 if they are grey/silver i'm thinking it's a 416 or 516 Koen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssecoy 0 #9 Posted July 14, 2014 I've seen a 416-H online and looked like an exact match but I'm just not sure Ill upload pics of everything later.. I plan on restoring it, It needs a coil and a new mower deck then it would be complete. Is this one worth restoring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-101plowerpower 1,605 #10 Posted July 14, 2014 depends on how the overall state of the machine is, coil could be expensive being a 2 cilinder onan, but then again i don't own one so it's kinda hard to say Koen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssecoy 0 #11 Posted July 14, 2014 A friend told me that a dual fire harley coil would work as long as it is between 2.9 ohm and 3.6ohm. It looks the same but would anyone know if this is true. If so this coil is only $36 on Amazon but again I'm not sure if it will work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #12 Posted July 14, 2014 I think that only pertains to the Kohlers, I may be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boovuc 1,090 #13 Posted July 14, 2014 I know it pertains to the old Kohler KT engines. I don't know if it would work for the Onans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,578 #14 Posted July 14, 2014 down load the onan service manual on here and it will walk you through step by step how to trouble shoot your onan and make sure you only replace what you need to or want to because parts are not cheap. try onan parts.com for parts good luck and keep us updated eric j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssecoy 0 #15 Posted July 15, 2014 Its a 416-H! I overlooked the writing on the sticker on the hood.. now as far as year I'm guessing 1990 only because I seen one on CL that looked the same. How does the rear end work on this? My first hydrostatic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
