Title: Generator Tune Up Parts
Post by: kwood on June 27, 2009, 07:40:39 AM
Does anyone have a recommendation on where to buy tune-up parts for generators?  I picked up a good air-cooled 6.5KW Onan and would like to change oil filter, air filter, and plugs before installing the unit. 

Thanks,

Kevin

I would guess that any good small engine shop will have these parts, or can get them easily enough.  Heck, your local hardware store with a small engine shop might have them.

Cummins service centers that do Coach Care should have them too.  They deal with the Onan generators since Cummins owns Onan.

Numbers are

6.5NH-3cr/16004p
SN 1843833683

Any additional info on the unit would be helpful.

Also,  what type of oil do they use and how much? 

Thanks,

Kevin
