  • U need the circuit board installed for the bigger generator... it has the start and stop switches on it and it's needed to charge the 12 volt battery.. without it your running without the oil pressure switch 2

  • It's cool how you got those Onan gennies to work again. The only issue I'd like to comment on is the sine wave of those older generators. Most modern appliances do not like "dirty" electricity. They may operate on it for a short time, but extended use can burn out the processors or motherboards. Older analog appliances are usually safe.

  • Nice video and job! When testing for the output voltage, it's also important to verify that the frequency is 60 Hz under full load... With no load, it should be about 62 Hz. Great job!

  • I’ve never had a Single Cylinder Onan, I’ve had Three Twin Cylinders, they always have a nice sound to them. So you know you shouldn’t run these generators with out a load for very long. The Onan’s I had, I always had lightbulbs connected to them, all the time.

  • take 2 clocks with a second hand. plug one in to the house power, second one into the generator. this is how you can set/check the generator to 60 cycles. nice job!

  • Don’t plug computers into generator power as it’s not clean inverter power. Also tune governor to 60 cycles.

    @seansysig@seansysig Жыл бұрын

    • Generators that old don’t use inverter technology. Power is generated directly off the motor head and the electronics are mainly for start/stop and speed control

  • Make sure if your going to used these to run your home, They are set to 60hz, If not you will burn up all your Electronics,.
