Hi Billy.
I saw your post on Jeffcats thread on the small engine repair and wanted to pick your brain on an Onan genset.
I have a genset out of my bucket truck that is an 1800 rpm twin cylinder CCk engine with a very large cast crankcase (seems oversize).
It was originally setup for multi-station remote control and over the years the wiring got butchered enough that it was quite unreliable. However when running it purred like a kitten and the gen worked fine (4000 watt).
I would like to set the genset up for stationary use as a backup for a proposed new house and would like to power it with propane. It is an early 80's vintage.
Do you have any thoughts or info on this? Much appreciated if you do.

P.S. Anyone else with thoughts please comment.
