In need of Onan electrical end

Amazon and eBay are less:

Amazon.com: tachometer non contact: Industrial & Scientific

and

Neiko 20713A Professional Digital Laser Photo Non Contact Tachometer | eBay

Isn't technology great. I would not call Pop's strobe really hand held, certainly not cheap near 40 something+ years ago, not battery operated (120Vac) nor easy to use. Thing belongs in a museum. Oh, I've seen it used to balance car tires. Anybody out there remember balancing car tires, on the car, with a strobe?

Time fer me to get up to date with you kids also. Think I'll pick up one of these modern fangled thingeys also.

Thanks again guys, I will post my results.

Ralph, I only remember balancing tires with a bubble level. Maybe your not that old.

Got the digital tach and it works great! No flicker, just a laser and a fast sample by the computer. Anyway I found I was running her at 1930 RPM. Too fast for me. So I settled on 1850 @ 61Hz @ 114.4 at load.
I think I will be OK for now. Going to carry an extra 12V supply to give the exciter a shock once in awhile. Thanks for letting me in this one and thanks for all your help. Next winter project (its 80 today):strip some awlgrip off some teak and see what she looks like. over.

My issue is exactly the same as this one. I am an owner of a Onan MDKD generator and lost the exhaust elbow due to severe corrosion. This allowed salt water into the generator portion.

I need a complete generator end . The stator and the rotor on mine is nonfunctional . I received a quote for new parts and the amount is punishing. There mast be a number of these sitting in someone's garage that I can buy?

Please give me a shout if you can help me! Your help is very appreciated.

Remove your phone number or calls from Mars will start coming in. This post is read world wide and by the internet dark side.

I think there is a voltage regulator that is adjustable on those that you can adjust to get the voltage up to 120-125 volts, as well.

Thanks very much for the tip!

Have an old Onan that I replaced with a new Cummins 9kw. The back end is almost new. Less than 100 hrs. also has a brand new water pump if anyone is interested in parting it out let me know.

Model number could help.

Do you still have you MDKD Gen end?

If it is a MDKD end Would love to speak with you!

Many thanks
Larry

It is a 8KW Looking through some paperwork looks like serial number is A870866636. I am heading to boat next week and will go by warehouse and verify serial number. Rings were worn and needed to be rebuilt so I just went a head and bout a new one and have all new power in both engines and genset.

Send any photos and I can tell if the same as I need. Is it separate for the engine now?

Did you happen to get any more information on your generator head?

Many thanks!

Larry

Sorry to be a past but I was curious whether you had any more information on your generator head
