$3150 to service Onan 7k and replace ignition coils!

Hi all,
I'm in sticker shock. I took our MH to a Cummins/Onan shop because the genset would not stay running ... kept throwing a code related to ignition.

They have to pull the genset and replace the coils and ignition module ... and are recommending other service "while they are in there."

I had thought I might have been in for about $1500 but not $3k. Quote is 12 hours of shop labor plus ...

Anyone pulled a genset before? I've taken a cursory look at the shop manual everything other than pulling it out seems rather clear to replace the coils and module...

  • I had a similar experience at the Cummins / Onan place in Albuquerque. Not about to go back there again!

  • no way would I put three k into a gen set. just for fun look up the price of a new one. and theres gotta be a repair service cheaper than that.
  • I feel ya. Just had the same shock getting my truck back from doing a lot of maintenance work. And it took them almost three weeks. And they lied to me.
