Another setback this morning. This motor had an "what did they do that for" point box on it. The stator was also missing but the engine was running it you had a charged battery.
With what is know about this engines history and the overall condition of the 646B it came from, cam condition should have been expected.
The points lobe had galling on the lead in of the cam on both sides. My first though was remove the points and change over to electronic ignition. Further inspection of the other lobes reveled a slight imperfection on the back side of on lobe. Well there goes the dream of finishing it this week. Can you say Debbie Downer?
A month ago when the 4118AH was purchased there were some Onan's in the weeds.
This one not only has a good cam, but also a few other parts that will be useful.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Spike.
