Onan info

Jeff Niceswanger · 08-10-2012, 09:28 PM

I am pretty sure I found it. One of the brushes was shot and not hitting the rotor all the way around .There was a spot about an inch long where it appeared to have not been hitting for a while. I took a scribe and pushed the brush up into the holder a little bit and it just stayed there,not returning. Rich, when I checked wires # 1 and 10 and got that 24 ohms, I made the mistake of not rotating the unit 360 degrees to be sure it was hitting everywhere. Amateurs mistake....I rechecked it, and it came and went severely. Onan in Columbus has the brushes and springs in stock, and We will pick them up and get this thing back together tomorrow, Thanks for all the help guys
