What year did Onan go to electronic ignition?

Post by jwrape »

I am looking for a Model and serial number of a 6.5kw Onan Generator with electronic ignition so I can convert my 74' to Electronic ignition.
From what I have been told the RV gensets are the ones that had electronic ignition but I can't find a Model or serial number for one with Eelctronic ignition.

No I got that... That is the main part. That is the electronic ignition itself. I need the plunger. I a guy on the Onan Forum gave it to me. I will check tomorrow. He said it was MCCK 160-0265. I will check and post up tomorrow morning.

I have a 76 F32 with that gen and I have the original manuals for it at home. I can look them up tonight when I get home from work if you'd like. No idea if it's electronic ignition or not.

Oh, no. I have my manuals for mine. I am converting the existing points to electronic ignition.
I found all need now. It tooka ton of searching and finally asking on a Onan forum and I found all the part numbers. Now I just have to install them and cross my fingers that everything works together and in harmony.
Here is my project thread for it
