i bought an old sears suburban and its got a big twin onan but it doesnt run, from what i understand parts are not available anymore but what about points? or a coil? it doesnt run due to no spark and if i can id like to use it
some numbers i found are
BF - MS/2833E
SERIAL K753134686

Local mower guy told me he gets Onan parts from Linamar. I had heard Linamar took over production when Onan dropped their flathead engines. Also heard coils made for Harley-Davidson twins will work.

I have a 20HP onan opposed twin sitting in my shed- cranks but has no spark.

You can get parts at specific tractor parts places - possibly RV repair places as well ( most RV's use onan motors ) that carry onan parts .

Be prepared to dish out alot of cash - parts arent cheep.

Ill have to look into a harely coil - theres a couple motorcycle places nearby- thats the problem with twins, need it set up for 2 wires.

Probably any cummins dealer can get parts for your onan. Not cheap but you can still get some things for them.

like ropertractor said, parts are very expenive. $100 for my carb float on my 16hp twin. runs like a swiss watch now...

so im finally looking into getting that onan i have running and im wondering if someone can steer me to a good site to get new points
