So i got this great deal on this small generator off of craigslist. Someone was getting rid of a bunch of stuff and wanted it gone. I paid $10. It runs great and generates power ect. It does not have the original fuel tank with it so i cant get a model number or anything off of that. I am trying to figure out what i have so i can get parts and maybe an owners manual.
Need help figuring out what this generator is.

Nice looking little unit.
I'm going to guess that's a Robin or even a later Robin/Subaru engine (precursor to the EY28) with 7.5HP. Looks a lot like my 7.5HP EY28 Subaru engine that's on my leaf mulcher.
If so, it's probably about 3500W.

I wonder if you can get an older outboard gas tank, in 3,5,6 gallon sizes, and splice it in ? In case you cannot find a correct gas tank.
Considering i didnt pay much for it i am going to use the gas tank that it came with which is this old square metal one. i just need to make a bracket to mount it. I looked through that manual but i could not find what spark plug it needs. The generator has a spark plug in it but i do not think its the right one. Where can i find parts for an onan k2100? Basically i need a spark plug and i need the foam sock that goes over the air filter.

Great deal! Try www.jackssmallengines.com. Onan is still in business. If i were you, I'd contact its customer service and send them a couple pictures. Make them ID the model and year for you.

Ill try that thanks. The plug thats in it is this bosch platinum 2 prong deal that looks like it has the wrong sealing surface where the plug mates to the cylinder head.

Cool find. Like said, I am almost certain that is a Subaru/Robin, made in Japan engine. Old school flat-head.
Looks like a Subaru
+1 on the deal of the century.
That thing is really cool looking! I bet it sounds good too.

It does sound pretty cool. My two favorite features it has is an idle control lever so you dont have to start it and have it go straight to max rpm and it has a light that tells you when its low on oil.
