Billy just got an onan fixed I talked with you about some time back (cck). Could you tell me any thing on a CW onan 10kw??? also an onan emerald III any good or bad??? Thank you
 
The CW was in the class of Onans best.Holds 6.5 quarts of oil.Two cylinder 1800 RPM. Weighs in at 800 pounds. Onan even made a portable version.Cost 1395/1645 new.Plenty of them out there still working. I know of two still working at two oil pipeline monitor stations.Good long lasting gensets.

Need to know the model and serial number of the Emerald.Good 1800 RPM unit. But depending on spec they did have some problems. I would prefer the CW but both are good units. Better than the junk being sold today.

s long as we are on the subject of 'god/bad/ugly', just bought Onan EC Series 25/30KW awhile ago, natural gas & gasoline (wish had propane set up). Are these known to be good units or ? This one has static exciter.
 
The EC is a very good unit. Has the 223 Ford engine. Still out there and parts are still around. Engine parts are standard Ford. Except what Onan
added to make it a generator engine.

I've got a 19 kW Onan. When I was looking for a water pump I talked to Cummings and they said the four cylinder diesel engine in mine is actually an Onan built engine. I was a little surprised by that.

That little devil does a good job of running the whole farm when the electric is down. This one came from a standby telephone station. I think I have 950 hours on it now.
