Sparky-(Admin) 19,664 #2 Posted March 21, 2011 Are you sure its a diesel? It looks like the Onan gen-sets used in motorhomes to me. Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleredrider 408 #3 Posted March 21, 2011 I have no clue, don't think the seller does either. I don't know much about these, but didnt' think Onan used diesels. Also makes me wonder seeing the spark plug wire laying there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwilson 128 #4 Posted March 21, 2011 Almost 100% sure its an Onan. Not a diesel. The things that give it away is #1 the spark plug wire. #2 Look close at the side shield looks like the word Onan on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleredrider 408 #5 Posted March 21, 2011 If you zoom in you can see it's a twin cylinder, has a carb and two plug wires. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

littleredrider 408 #7 Posted March 23, 2011 I don't know why it was listed as a diesel, hope the guy didn't try to run diesel in it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
