I think a message like that appears a lot of the time for them. Same message,different date ,I've seen at least 3 different times. Must be nice to be that independent.

3.5 oms across the + and- terminals.  got a plastic case so can't tell if it is grounded.  Going to try our local Onan dealer tomorrow and the John Deer dealer ship.  Only other thing I can think of is if there is a bad brush or something like that that is keeping it from starting.  But if the board is allowing voltage to the coil under start cycle I would think it would start if the coil was good. 

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

You have zero spark-correct?


When engine is cranking do you have approx 12V at the positive terminal of the coil?  Disconnect positive coil lead. Check it with a test light (not a voltmeter)between + coil lead to ground.. It should turn on and off as engine is cranking.Does it? If so ,that indicates the coil should fire the plugs. If it fails to light the test light or just stays lit ,the coil is likely good and there is a different issue causing this.

The coil itself is likely good then.

Ok nothing wrong with the coil. Bought a new one and put it on and same old same-O, no sparky.  But think I have found the problem.  I took some of the sheet metal off to blow and clean everything out and found a L-Fod.   Don't like finding L-Fod.  Here it is.  Pictures are worth a thousand word's.

Genny wont get fixed until we get back from Idaho.  Onan and Cummings say that part has been on back order for two months. Called some place's on the intertwd and same old story.  No can get.  Looks like it's time for some back engnneering and some machine work.  Two small magnets and some phonic and I'll be golden.   ;D
