Nice. Tractor supply has a wireless remote 12v 20 amp controller works about 50ft. $30 near farm sprayer stuff. Gonna try that one. I have same old onan fixing now.Good old rig.Thanks.
Nice video thanks for helping. I just rebuilt an own generator 4K. Runs great and I have the remote start. I hooked that up from watching your video. Thank you ! I am trying to get the light and the and the hr. tack to work. I’m having a hard time trying to figure that out. It’s an old-school one from the 70s. I’m not sure if the tachometer and light hook up to the switch and then from the switch to the generator to 5 and 6? Any help would be appreciated, brother!
I would surface mount a receptacle on the generator to plug my cord into and on the other end put a plug coming out of my switch box to plug into my good extension cord. My cord would still be good and I could unplug it from the generator to get it out of the way. And, I could go more than 100 ft If I wanted to.
That would come in really handy for boating or camping. Put the genny yards away, cut down the noise. Ok might have the chain it to a tree or something.
momentary double pole double throw switch, the light part is optional, it lights when Gen is running, anybody with decent hearing won't need a light on to know their Generator is running oops...seeing this ??? is 2 years old...but I've already typed...so fukit...posting!!!
got one that the electric fuel pump wants to always run. I put the 2 fuse in and electric fuel pump runs regardless of pushing any buttons. got and idea?
ShawnMrFixitlee after doing some backtracking on what my friend done , I found that he had changed the solenoid and the one he bought was the wrong one. The grounding was all wrong. Thanks for the Reply

I love my electric start generator! That remote is cool.
Thanks , It works well !
That will prove to be very handy I'm sure! Good one.

That remote function will come in handy Shawn
Sure will , Thanks Lloyd !

This was helpful. The remote start will be nice. Thanks. I will get that swich.
good job
Does the fuel pump come on automatically when you start the generator? Does it need its own switch?
Fully automatic ! Thanks ..
nice job, you might need to clean the carb out a little bit, i here is hunting upon start up, and new videos up on my channel
No , that was because the automatic choke was not set proper . Thanks Josh !!
ShawnMrFixitlee
ok i did not know it had a auto choke
I'm a bit confused. What switch should I use and should I go with the one with the light??
momentary double pole double throw switch, the light part is optional, it lights when Gen is running, anybody with decent hearing won't need a light on to know their Generator is running

Sounds like there is a problem in the wiring . Has anyone worked on it before you ?

what gauge wire should I use?
I used a 12 gauge 3 wire 100 foot extension cord I made it longer than I needed so it can be moved anywhere !! Thanx ..
I now have one of these. I can't locate the remote switch plug and pigtail. Do you have a link or part number?
What switch do I buy?
And let the red paint dry.
LOL.. Yup .. Thanks Mike !
This is the Onan generator I just rebuilt. ua-cam.com/video/W-GJD1fZcdM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
hey i have the switch from onan but i need some help figuring out which line goes where on the switch. mind if you could help ?
Using the colors mentioned in the video put the green in the center and the black and white on the outside legs.
Since you’ve given no wiring diagram and only created a added pigtail it’s not enough for the video try harder
not a how to vid.. arm chair troll , ask and you may get help with your trouble..
