An Onan CCK. If you are not familiar, it is a 2 Cylinder, air-cooled, 1800
RPM unit out of the 70's. They were often used as backup generators and were
also installed in thousands of motor homes. It runs equally well on natural gas
or propane.
Mine was once a backup generator for the traffic signals at an I-95
interchange in s. Florida.
