B.M.800
TheBeal.
I have 2 twin cyl Onan engines. My google-foo is... pretty sucky I guess.
Engine #1, is on a 70s something or other sears suburban. The numbers on this engine are BG-MS/32729.
This engine has been giving me some troubles. Not running proper, would surge at low RPMs. Higher RPMs it would seem to be fine, then after a while it would start surging and die a embarrassing and tragic death...
Ive taken the carb apart and cleaned several times. I dont think this is the problem.
Further inspection, seemed a weak spark. It wouldnt fire. I dont remember if i was seeing much spark at the (kind of new)plugs, though these was at the points.
I found a page on testing the coil. Between the terminals there should be 3.8-4.7 OHMs. And 12,600-15,400 between the plug holes.
Im getting 4.3 on the terminals, and nothing on the plug holes. So this appears to be a problem...could this be what caused the surging?
Engine #2, I got as a spare for engine #1. Numbers are N52M-G7 0199/3580B.
I havnt done anything with this particular engine, but I would like to know what kind of HP it is supposed to be. Its about the same size as #1 so I figure it must be around 16-ish...
The coil on engine #2 reads something between the specifications above, so Im considering swapping coils.
Im also curious, what kind of plugs these should have, and what kind of oil they should use. Maybe any other useful tidbits of information.
