6.5K Genset
 |
The 6.5 Onan Genset being tested before we put it in. The fuel line is simply dropped into an available gas tank. The battery is connected. The genset is positioned so the ehaust system hangs over the side of the table. |

Not the greatest camera shot to make my point, but notice the muffler loosely attached and hung by hanger wire. It's that or you can suffer through the unmuffled sound. This unit, though used, was in exceptional condition. The governor needed adjusting. The unit was used previously to power an arch welder. Household use requires a "more exact" voltage consistency. The unit was producing 154 volts at no load.

The governor has three adjustments. These are tricky and you shouldn't mess with these unless your unit is not running properly. I first recommend an appointment with a qualified technician. If you are on the express plan like myself, you try things yourself. Consult your manual for adjustment instructions. Regardless of age, you can order an operators manual from Onan. |
| This Onan 6.0 kw generator was removed from a '74 Travco 270. Still renown for its durability, the generator needed new rings. The heads were reworked and valves were cleaned. The rings were not replaced but the blow-by was greatly reduced. Due to a worn governor, the generator starts throttling above 4.5 kw. The unit is large and very heavy. A newer, smaller Onan 6.5 kw was used as a replacement. |  |
