I really enjoy your videos. I was able to score a onan 4k natural gas stand by rig. The church was gunna give it to a scraper so I saved it. Gunna fix it up and put it back into service. Keep your videos up learning a lot from yea 😊. Thank you

What control panel is that? If it is homemade, I would like to have part numbers/schematic maybe a tutorial. Very nice!!!

You're crazy with your Onans. Even tho your friends are 'hanging around' this definitely is not a bare bones installation.

JJ You need to run the JB longer to get the moisture out of the engine. natural gas and propane make lots of water...

Have the identical one that I use to this day after it was left outside for dead for over 2 decades. The best gen-set I've ever seen and the utmost simplest and efficient. I did a complete restoration on the thing about 10 years ago now and it's been the most useful thing I've probably ever done. Hope you enjoy yours and wish you all the same success with it. Otherwise she sounds great and it's putting out power it looks like according to the Amp gauge for the field windings. Good luck my man!

So why is the fans look cover in paint plus the heat exchanger on the engine piston houseingthey eill gett hot

I was idling my tdi in my garage half in half out exhaust out for about 5 minutes. I hope im okay with the carbon monoxide

Sounds good

Hey! Glad to see you're back - love your collection and videos (From Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦). Any thoughts on 15 kw RDJC with 1997 hours?

my set does everything ok it transfers ok but generator does not shut off even after it transfer

on my set everything works fine it transfers alright but generator keeps going on even after complete and the power did transfer any ideas?

Just picked up a15 JC l Great videos! Where are you getting those analog meters? Love to get some. Thanks

I'm here because I want to know if this will work ...

Just got a 7.5 JB. Where do you get your carb parts?

I rebuilt a Coleman Powermate 5750 that I found in my grandfather's garage last week. He said "If you can fix it; you can have it." I haven't tested it with a load yet. I just hope it can handle my 180' deep well pump. Tip with the Ex27 engine: If it won't stay running, replace or unplug the low oil sensor. (orange wire going to the cutoff switch)

Man, just entering the garage with those CO levels was very stupid. I'm glad you survived.

Diesel generators and the conundrum of being used as a emergency power source. The thing is the generator needs to be rated to handle big startup loads like water pumps air conditioning but a lot of the time it's running at less than 10% of its capacity so you get the wet stacking problem. My solution was to use the diesel generator to charge batteries which run an inverter that also get charged with solar panels. The generator only runs when there is insufficient solar and foot for several days in a row but the generator runs at near full capacity so it gets up to full temperature and alleviates any problems with wet stacking.

I really need your help!!!

I guess that clears up the question as to whether a tree makes noise when it falls if nobody is around.

What paint have you used on your CCK?

Suggestion put Hardie board on the walls and ceiling. This will give you some fire resistance in case something goes seriously wrong.

It takes months of running with no load to start wet stacking.

Awsome videos and restoration work! So wondering if you can help answer. What kinds of thd are you getting and also what kind of voltage spike are you getting when a large load is dropped off the generator. How high does the voltage spike?

I think it would be cool to synchronize them together, if one shuts off, a breaker will trip and full load on the other. Why not lol?

By chance do you still have a wiring diagram

Cool man

Where do I get the onan color paint?

Where did you get your paint for the onan?

I have the dataplat also.

I have one. Had start on it today.

Its just condensation like a gas engine makes due to no load.

What is that gorgeous green paint called?

I have a MEP-003A Onan generator and sure would like to know where you are finding engine parts. I've got an oil pump with the gear broke off and can't find one.

Is this real 😨

Hey Johnny, what kind of transfer switches are you using to alternate between your big gen (djc) and the smaller backup unit? Love your videos (from Nova Scotia)!] Thanks!

Can you hook up computers or electronics to the power output of the Onan 3.0 DJA ? Thank you. Great channel....

What part numbers are you using for both the preheated and the glow plug? I have several 12djc units that the plugs and preheated are all fried on and can't find numbers on them

I have a jc propane 15kw was running great now won’t start would love some insight the over crank lights up on its own after you reset it and not trying to start at all

Yo tengo uno igual con el armazon cerrado.es mep003A lo compre sin la bomba inyectora y arranque.me podrias pasar el modelo arranque .aca busque y el modelo prestolite 24 v..y si podes pasar modelo bomba inyectora.quedo muy practico con el carro con ruedas lo practico que pase por las puertas medida promedio .pasar por todos lados sin necesitar pasar por portones.

nice job, whats your opinion one a onan 6.0DJE vs. cummins onan 7.5HDKAL-1F vs. a 6Kw light plant generator?

Confirmed, Johnny C is moving to Nigeria

I know this is an old video, but did you ever do a video on the little panel you made up with the amp meters? I'd love to see that in detail, its really awesome!

Every time I see your setup and all of the sets you have I get jealous 😊

80% or more load recommended to prevent wet stacking,

Nicely Done! I love the air cooled Onan diesels, I own a single cylinder version I restored from being stuck from decades of sitting outside under tarps. Mine is unbelievable on how little fuel they burn but it is a single cylinder, I'm sure the twin is a little more thirsty than the single? But it is definitely much smoother without the 3 dead strokes of the single @1800 rpms. But Onan knew this was a problem with the singles and put a boost cap in the field circuit to increase the output on the 3 dead strokes knowing the rpms would drop off a little bit. They had a particular name for the cap and points system they used for that. But I forget that by now Lol.

wet stack compression not right valves injectors something not right running at 1800 rpm

very nice job excellent detail throughout the process

What is one worth?I have one in good running shape for sale on a trailer to boot

I picked up a 5.5kva genset that hasn't run for 12 years and in its 1000 hours it hardly got loaded. I loaded it up with 3kw and man sparks and junk flew out the exhaust pipe, it glowed bright yellow looking in there and had a flame coming out once it was shut down. That's a bad case of wet stacking where the stuff stacked layer upon layer. Now i gotta run it for several hours loaded to clean it out. I might post up a vid of it.
