Used to be a old electronics wizard locally who seemed to be able to convert anything to a gm module and coil , he's been gone 20 years and I wish I had paid more attention
I am rebuilding a Lincwelder 225 and it has one of those points plungers and is on a tower. I am so happy I found your video. It's not easy to find videos on specific Onan engines that are connected to Welders. Oh no I will be sear Ching for an electronic ignition for these engines. If and when I find an ignition like the one you used I will let you know .
@@ShadonHKW I found one but I do not have the extra money at the moment. It is on a welder that I am going to sell however I am rebuilding it to go on a welding trailer with a gas air compressor, Job box, drill press, and a vise along with a crane to get the equipment on and off and to help with the equipment to be welded as well. Thank you.
Just the kind of thing i was looking for, thinking about converting my 5.0 CCK, which has the same points setup. Looks like the minnesota power parts website is down, can you share which petronix ignition module (part number) they used so I can try to find that? I don't see any 2-cyl lobe sensing units on their website..
On my 6.5 the starter is the 12 volt DC exciter generator on the main generator rotor. It is run as a motor driven by the battery to start and switches to exciter when the engine fires. When the engine starts the increase in RPM enables the exciter to start generating and the rise in the exciters output voltage drops out the starter circuit.
Are you concerned that the pushrod of the kit looks a bit hard? Original follower looked to have a bronze head riding on the steel cam, now it looks like you have steel on steel.
Do you know where to buy the kit # 160-1376. We have an onan engine that is already converted but the shorter pushrod is missing. I'm thinking the minnesotapowerparts site is not up anymore as it does not work. Thank you.
I don't know where you got you have to clean points every couple of days unless you got a bad condenser points usually last for years anyway it's nice to have electronic ignition but there's nothing wrong with a good set of points in a good condenser they will run forever
Been years since I changed points , old ones had thick tungsten contacts , could file them half a dozen time's we used to tie knots in the wire to increase the capacity. Los of time's point arcing is caused by contamination on the contacts ,point lube,finger grease,grit from sandpaper used instead of a file , rain etc
Thanks for the 'Guinea Pig' change out on the Onan. Now that I know it works I might give them a shout and get one for my Onan. Had it for years, use it once in a while on remote work. Have always kept spare ignition sets on hand when it acts up. What is the kit worth?? Cheers/greg
@@ShadonHKW I have a Onan 4.0 CCK generator on a 1972 Winnebago Rv original generator with the RV. I notice he stated on another comment that that company is no longer in business. Any idea where else I can get this electronic ignition please let me know. Thank you greetings from Naples Florida.
@@heisrisen6898 This kit has been performing flawlessly, I haven't had a need to search for a replacement. I think some internet digging may yield something.
Minnesota power parts are closed for good,Dec 2020,according to there voice mail, I got calling them to get that part.I am close to them so was going to go get it . but I called first an found out that info
SIR YOU MAY TRY A TO CHANGE THE VALUE OF THE CONDENSOR YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FINED A CONDENSER THAT WOULD WORK BETTER BLUE STREAK HAD DIFFERENT ONES AVAILABLE BACK IN THE DAY
OH AND THEN SOMETIMES YOU CAN CHANGE OUT THE COIL ☝️ BECAUSE THEY NOT ALL CAN HAVE VARIABLE VALUES ASWELL SO SOME CONDENSER'S WOULD WORK BETTER WHEN U HET THE VALUES RITE YOU WONT SEE ANY ARC THE POINTS CONTACT AREA
From the thumbnail and title I first thought it was going to be one of those automatic grease caps. (They use electrolysis of urea or ammonia to generate pressure and inject the grease)

Lookup Pertronix for the actual module, you may be able to adapt it in similar to mine.

Who sells this kit? I would love to get 4 of these for CCKB engines I have.
Needed this video immensely. Thank You!
Very cool.. good info. I put the Nova2 chip in old cast iron Briggs engines all the time .
Link is dead.
Bummer

I have the same problem do you have a part number by chance?
If you still have the generator --could you do a 4 year up date as to how well it has worked?
Great video! I'm still trying to figure out where the starter is located on these generators.
in the back behind the coil

The bronze was just a guide bushing, It gets splash oiled from the crank case, not too worried.
That rod is as hard as the cam it sits on. And oiled constantly. Perfect match.

Remove the plating and what's underneath erodes quickly. Use a solvent and never file unless you have to. Filing destroys longevity.

What size engine is on that Onan

Less than 200 to my door, I was shocked at first until I saw the machine work and engineering that went into it.

Where do I get the kit ?
Look up Pertronics, they make the module, but the adaptor isn't being made any longer.
Wondering if I could convert Onan b43G in my mower with these parts?? Any ideas people?
Did you have to switch your coil that operated with points?
Nope, same coil, just a 2 wire connection.
Shadon HKW Good deal. Thanks!
Unfortunately Minnesota Power parts is going out of business... No ignition conversion parts left now.
But ware do you get one

I have a mcck 6.5 also a 4K I am RV can I get link where to buy this for the both of them please. Thank you in advanced
The kit does not work in Marine applications.
Tengo una planta de esa nadie me la a podido encender diagrama de encendidos porfavor
I need to contact you about the electronic ignition for onan 6.5 nh
Minnesota power parts is no longer in business.
is there anyone doing a kit like this now or is there a parts list that can be used to convert this from available Onan OEM parts?
Awesome video

The problem is the cheap chinese condensor
