bought spare onan today..

[1816case]

I got a Onan NHC off marketplace today for $160. I think price was decent considering onan parts. Supposedly runs and has 600 something hours. I tend to believe more hours than that by all the caked on grease. The carb apparently has a issue he thought. I really didn't need it but I heard NHC are not plentiful to be had..Not that cheap anyway. Has decent compression by what I can tell just turning it over. Did I do ok..Or waste $160? I do need a starter on my running mighty mac with onan..but if ever change that I will buy new or rebuilt one since such a pain to get out. Mine misses about every 3rd attempt to crank it over.

when you need a part it will be so nice to have it on hand , But if you have time I would get that engine in running condition and then set it up for long term storage. do not let that questionable starter ruin your ring gear ,that is much more work.
