Parts for Onan 16SXL Performer Engine, i.e Carb. Parts at a Resonable Price

admin

Hello All,Today, I went out to fire up my 225 Bobcat.  It has set for about 90 days with new high test gas in it... so I thought it would fire right up.I got a surprise, I had to use either to keep it running. It has a 1/2 tank & added about 2 gallon of fresh high test gas. One time it came up to rated speed and seemed to run fine for about 1 minute. Then, it ran rough and would barely idle. I changed the clear type (inline) fuel filter with a new one. I pulled the tank line out of the fuel tank and it had dropped off in the bottom of the fuel tank. I installed a new fuel line on the (L) fitting and measured the depth. I installed the new pick up line to be around 1/2 inch off the bottom of the fuel tank. I installed a temp. electric pump that's rated at -- 1 1/2 PSI, that matches up with the pulse pump on the Onan.I thought the engine would/ might run better with the electric fuel (temp.) fuel boost and bled the gas lines all the way up to the carb. . However, the engine still struggled to run.  If I gave it a mist of ether... it would run right up to speed. Also, both Cyl's. are firing properly and No black smoke or uneven firing visible in the exhaust.All in All, the engine is not getting fuel in the High Speed Circuit of the Carb.  I'm assuming... some type of internal blockage.Bobcat 225 welder background --The welder is a 1991 year model. It was mounted on a Mobile Home Tractor Truck for years & years. It set out in the weather but welds 100%.  I bought it and changed --  oil & filter, air cleaner and spark plugs. The Bobcat had Zero issues until today & welded great.  Reason for Post:I tried to find/ buy a Carb. Kit for this -- 1991 Onan 16 SXL Performer Engine. The Carb. Kit was $ 97.00 bucks. I'm about to pull the Carb. off and rebuild it. I thought $ 97.00 bucks was way too high for a basic (1) barrel carb... nuts.Does anyone know of Onan Vender that sells Onan parts at a more reasonable price ?!?Avery** Live Life as If There's No Tomorrow, then, You'll have a Number of Remembrance Smiles as You Prepare to Meet your Maker **Miller(s) 251 w/ Spool Gun 30 A, Big 40, Trailblazer 250 G.; IdealArc 400, SA-200, Classic SA-300, High Freq.
