Coil needed for Onan 4k genset... where to find one?

[aaron7]

Not sure of the model offhand but the Onan 4k generator in our RV has very weak spark (orange and won't jump far when sparked) so I'm assuming it needs a new coil.

The one on there looks like a standard car coil but with dual outputs.

Only one I've found is a high-voltage replacement on ebay but I don't need anything fancy!

Ideas?

The bad news is that all Onan parts are rather expensive. The good news is that you can get them. Try here:

Onan 166-0772 Ignition Coil Kit contains 166-0804 coil : A.S.A.P.

I have bought several things from this company - always new and they ship fast.

Thanks for the link! That doesn't look like the coil on my unit though, but the connections are the same so I guess it'd work.

Rather go with the $60 chrome one on ebay though! haha
