24 hp onan

i thought about pullinng the head just to see what i could see...

 

[BriggsTwins]

would be worth it, check piston slap and valve/seat conditions

 

[Rotore]

Go for it dude never hurt to take the heads off and while they're off you can check the seats, valve and decarbonize the head

 

[zanegrey]

with some other information .. it seems my estimate of the exhaust valve being stuck may not hold water..

i have a couple of test to do and then i will re evaluate...

thanks

 

[zanegrey]

update..

on other information ... i retested the onan coil and it is producing spark.

so with that coil the engine fired up on both cylinders ..

it idled and revved normally..

so for those of you who are interested .. the pig fired up and is almost resurrected..

i just have to re install the shrouds and mount and hard wire the coil..

i am very excited...

thanks again for everyones responses and input..

Video!!!!

 

[zanegrey]

alas ... i do not have that technology..

 

[BriggsTwins]

hmmm, some how we must remedy this problem

 

[zanegrey]

if i may ...what do you think this thing would bring at the market??

 

[BriggsTwins]

depending on part conditions and the age, maybe 300? or more?

 

[zanegrey]

wow , i posted it on cl for 500 dollars last nite and i already received quite a number of replies..

i am very close to a good size city though ...

So after 4 pages of diagnostic help your old coil ended up working fine after all? What was actualy causing your lack of spark, plugs-wires?

 

[zanegrey]

me testing the coil wrong and one spark plug wires was bad..

 

[BriggsTwins]

ohhhhh

 

[zanegrey]

with other info...

my test could have been a false negative ..

..per coil testing proceedure ..

i did test out the spark plug wires and found one to be bad ..

but i missed that connection..

and thanks again ..

 

[BriggsTwins]
