Onan is owned by Cummins Engine Company now, and has been for some time. People have used Onan engines to power homebuilt aircraft. Great engine design, and should be a wonderful power source for you. These are also found on portable welders. I have seen them used inside a factory.

nice finds id like to get an onan engine

the choke on my motorhome onan 6600 is a little off and wil fowl the plug
-
too bad its not 120v but then again 133 amps of 12v should be plenty to feed yer hacked up UPS inverters
nice find!

it also looks like the meter face has detereorated/shrunk over time.

You may be right...several years ago I used a 24-volt inverter from a UPS, powering it off 2 12-volt batteries in series...the inverter finally quit working. I'll have to check out what types are available that are designed for continuous use.

Wow it even has an electric starter, that engine purrs like a kitten and the generator even works.. What a buy that was for only 12.50.
my dad says that onan might have come off a towtruck? i bet youll be loving that for starting your busses in the field!

Yes that sounds like a logical application...It definitely should have the power to get a vehicle with a dead battery started quickly.

how much amps dos the onan put out that is a big motor for a 12 voilt gen set that would be nice for a all 12 v. camper or you could feed a inverter to make 110 v. ac. I have a homolite like that one that was from a fire truck It is a 2 cycle The plate should say 16 to 1 or something like that I will try to video it for you.

Thanks for your video of the Homelite. I found out that my Homelite is actually a 24-volt DC output. The Onan can put out I believe 133 amps at 12 volt DC.

i think that regulator needs some work just by how it acted until you cranked it open.
