i have an ONAN Emeral gen. that doesn't run. The label is gone for the most part. I know it's 5K with points but not type or spec.
Is there a way to ID it?
I also have a 6.5 NHEFA spec G that has a bad armature (rotor)that I would like to use parts from.

close up of control panel and circuit breakers (does it have one or two c/b's? Top of engine showing spark plugs and ignition coil would probably be good

Thanks for the reply.
It does have points.
It will be a while before I can get back to it but I'll check it out and let you know.
What pics do you want?

If your Onan Emerald has points, it is probably a 1985-89, BGE model. if it has a transformer voltage regulator, it would be a 85-87 model.
The 6.5 NHE models have different engine than 4&5 KW . many of the generator parts interchange with them, depending on the type of voltage regulation. I could identify it with a couple of good photos. Don't know what's allowed on this forum, but email to careco.phil@gmail.com if you like. Onan gen.tech 35years+

Check with ROMAINE ELECTRIC Seattle about getting that rotor fixed?
