@#$%^& onan starter

[MrWizard]

Marquis 5000, mpdel BGMFxxxxxx

starter spins and rattles does not engage, it worked at lunch

anyway i need the correct part number so i can pick one out of the myriad of online sales offers

will probably order from Amazon so i can get it soon as possible
and install

this just had to happen on a Friday of a holiday weekend

AWE $HxT .. dang it

downloaded the PDF of service manual, NO part number for stater

currently looking online for parts list and part number

[MrWizard]

sorry slow follow up
starter is in, and generator is running fine
still need to take a couple pictures of that splash guard/flange
to help clarify what i posted

hopefully you get correct part with that part number. that is old, superceded number. current Onan part number is 191-2416.
Good luck with that repair. The older Onan Marquis series generators were great units, imho.

did some exploring and dissamebly today

the back side 'splash plate' ?

is just a flange that can be removed to give access to the starter and fuel pump

3 screws hold it to the bottom of the RV
4 bolts (2) on each end, hold it to 'pan' holding the Onan

it was not easy getting a socket or wrench on the inside to hold the bolt head
while i undid the 1/2 nut on the outside
but the flange out of the way access to the starter is much better
will have it running again by Sunday afternoon

sorry NO pictures, very dirty hands and no one to be my photographer

found it on amazon $56 be here on Tuesday

nothing is going to get here any faster, some are cheaper both amazon and ebay
but won't get here until the the 31st or later

edit;
getting it delivered to an amazon locker nearby, be here on Sunday the 26th
