Onan points replacement, help!!
 

I have the B48G onan in my 982 that I have replaced the points and condenser in. I have it all together but when I tighten the whole assembly down the breaker plunger will not move up or down. I tried adjusting the little set screw on the back side but that doesn't do anything. This was working before I removed it so I am stumped on what it could be. Help, I want to get this sucker running again.

There is a manual in one of the sections here for that engine now - I sent it to Roland to post last week. Hopefully there is something in it to aid in the set up after rebuilding/replacing???

B48G Manual

I found that manual, thanks for doing that. It didn't have any help with this particular situation. I did solve the problem for now but something is not right. I found that if I tilted the assembly back just a bit the plunger moved smoothly. So I took a thick piece of gasket and sanded it down to a tapper making the backside thinnest (to make the assembly tilt back making the plunger point more forward) and this freed up the plunger. I should have taken a picture inside the hole where the plunger goes in but to describe it, there is a piece (bearing?) that the plunger was hanging up on. Should this be seen in the hole or should it all be clear? Basically, when you are looking at the cam through this hole, it is partially covered (less than half) by this bearing, is this correct?

Anyone want to take a shot at this??

Be patient.....Some Onan guys will chime in soon. After all, this is the "Big Game" weekend.
