Horse Newbie 6,955 #1 Posted October 1, 2020 I need some advice on the replacement of the coil on my 94 520H. The original coil, part # 166-0761 (see pic) was impossible to find. I ordered a coil (see pic) that was supposed to fit according to the site I was on...it is the one with the bracket. The fact that it had a bracket concerned me when I ordered it, but I figured it would go in the original location and a person would just not use the bracket. Well it doesn't fit in the original place on the engine. My question is...Do any of you guys know where I can get a coil that will fit in the original position on the Onan ? And if I can't get one , has any of you guys used the type coil with the bracket ? Also, would my coil be bad because of the plastic being cracked off the bottom ?

lynnmor 6,873 #2 Posted October 1, 2020 The original type coil is no longer available, you will add the bracket. You should have received instructions with the kit, I have them here somewhere if you need them. The test procedure for the coil is in the Onan service manual available in the manuals section.

Burnerman 758 #3 Posted October 1, 2020 That coil you have fit right where the stock coil was on mine. The longer leg of the bracket goes closest to the carb. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Newbie 6,955 #4 Posted October 1, 2020 Thank you #lynnmor and #burnerman... Lynnmor, no instructions came with mine, and if they did I can't read Chinese...lol. If you can find the instructions pleas post the here. Burnernan, When I tried to place the new coil, it would not drop down in the original hole for the coil...so I'm guessing I would use the bracket, and just drop the new coil down as far as it will go. I don't want to try to cut the tin mounting surface on my Onan. Does it sound like I'm on course ? 7 hours ago, lynnmor said: The original type coil is no longer available, you will add the bracket.

Horse Newbie 6,955 #6 Posted October 1, 2020 lynnmor, Thank you for taking the time to help me with this ! I found the instruction sheet (C548) you posted in pdf form somewhere in a different thread on Red Square about 520H / P220G Onan coil replacement. I will print it out a keep a copy in my Engine service manual, and besides I work better off printed instructions. But, I would have never known to look for " C 548 " had I not seen it at the bottom of the sheet you posted. And thanks to Burnerman too ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
