seven 202 #1 Posted April 8, 2020 I bought this really old gem and not sure if it's a Brigs Kohler or Onan? I know it's green like onan ( generator only of this generating plant manufactured by Onan) Is what it says on nameplate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,336 #4 Posted April 9, 2020 Looks like a briggs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seven 202 #5 Posted April 9, 2020 That's what I think too. I can not find anything on it to go off. It does not have the points box outside like you normally see on a Kohler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,505 #6 Posted April 9, 2020 I'm going to say that it is an Onan engine, I believe that Onan only used their own engines on their gens. The top of the fan shroud is too rounded off on top for a Briggs. Briggs fan shrouds are a bit more square on top. Is the block cast iron or aluminum? A cast iron Briggs would also have the points in a box on the outside like a Kohler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bc.gold 3,403 #7 Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Engine is an Onan, how many KVA is the gen head. Not sure at which horse power Briggs used a mechanical governor, know for sure the 5 hp and under used an air vane, Edited April 9, 2020 by bcgold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seven 202 #8 Posted April 9, 2020 It's single phase 4 kw (120 volt only) 33 amps . I was wondering if someone put that electric start on it doesn't look to factory 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1995 520H+96+97 937 #9 Posted April 9, 2020 When that engine was new, plastic starter bendix gear didn't exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
