Slightly OT: Manual for an Onan JC generator?

Question

Hi everyone -we just acquired a 12.5KW Onan JC series standby power unit - or at leastmost of the parts of one... Missing the nameplate but it's definitely aJC...Does anyone have a manual for this? I'd be glad to pay copying/postagecharges to save us a bit of time figuring it out using only the neural T&Esystem...Thanks in advanceCarlareal email is carla dot fong at verizon dot net dot net dot netbut there's actually only one "dot net" in the address... (Spam harvestersare getting really clever, let's see if that confuses them...)

Congratulations! I am a proud and delighted owner of a DJE generator. Spent a while fixing up minor problems. Now it works flawlessly.

Can you post the pix of your unit?

aircooled 4 cylinder, right?

You absolutely need manuals. check out ebay items 7944791988,

3864670481 (I highly recommend this guy in the latter auction, his name is Al).

I also would suggest that you visit alt.energy.homepower, where there is a bunch of Onan graybeards. Also smokstak.com has a great onan forum. They will tell you everything you need to know. Do not forget to thank them profusely.

The parts manual is a lot of help until you get something better. It at least has mechanical diagrams and parts lists. A pdf is available free at

. Select "Parts Catalog" and then "small systems".
