rustexpert Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 My friend is selling a ww2 Onan generator; it is the two cylinder vertical side valve about 2-3kw. I had considered having it as a stand by and for some site work which it has been used for over the last half century. Does any one have any experience with them? I imagine that it will be a heavy drinker of fuel. The last one that changed hands on the bay of e only made £85 pounds in tidy condition; is that about the sum of it? as a similar diesel would be considerably more sought after.

Wolfy Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Potentially a sad ending for such a useful tool. Unfortunately it falls between someone wanting a mobile Generator but preferring cheaper to run modern reliability and vehicle owners not really having a use for it, finding a box trailer more practical. No doubt someone will use it for a display, I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
