Exhaust
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas formed by
incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. Carbon
monoxide is a dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness and is potentially lethal. Some of the
symptoms or signs of carbon monoxide inhalation are:
• Dizziness • Vomiting
• Intense Headache • Muscular Twitching
• Weakness and Sleepiness • Throbbing in Temples
If you experience any of the above symptoms, get out into
fresh air immediately.
The best protection against carbon monoxide inhalation is
a regular inspection of the complete exhaust system. If you
notice a change in the sound or appearance of exhaust

GENERAL
These instructions apply to the DJBA industrial
engine. There are many options which can be added
to this engine. Identify your particular model by
referring to the unit nameplate.
The assembly torques given here will assure proper
tightness without clanger of stripping threads. Use
reasonable force only and a wrench of normal length.
Specially designed Place Bolts (Figure 1) do not
requirea lockwasher orgasket. Do not attempt to use
a lockwasher with these bolts, it will defeat their
purpose. Check all studs, nuts and screws often and
tighten as needed to keep them from working loose.

INSTALLATION
GENERAL
The initial installation is very important. Plan it
carefully to ensure maximum operating efficiency.
Use this manual as a general guide. Recommendations in this manual are based on extensive tests
under favorable operating conditions. Abide by pertinent local codes regulating the installation and
operation of internal combustion engines.
LOCATION
Engine location is determined chiefly bythe intended
application. Provide adequate access forservice and
repair. Protect the the ehgine from adverse weather.

OPERATION
CRANKCASE
OIL
Use an oil with the API designation CD/SE or CD/SD.
However, to reduce oil consumption to a normal level
in the shortest time possible on a new or rebuilt
engine, use CC oil for the first fill only (50 hours).
Then use the recommended oil only. Select the
correct SAE grade oil by referring to the following.
Above 30° F
0° F to 30° F
Below 0° F
SAE 30
SAE 10Wor5W-30
SAE 5W-30
Multigrade oils are recommended for temperature of
30° F and below, but they are not recommended for
temperatures above 30° F. When adding oil between
oil changes, it is preferable to use the same brand as
in the crankcase. Various brands of oil may not be
compatible when mixed together.
If the oil supply in your local area still has the
MM,
MS, DG, DM and DS, use an oil with the DS designation which
has passed the Series 3 Test and at least Sequence I of the
Automotive Manufacturer's MS Sequence Tests. To reduce oil
consumption to a normal level In the shortest time on a new or
rebuilt engine, use DG or DM oil (passing the MS Sequence Tests)
for the first fill only (50 hours). Then use the recommended

'NOTE:
Fuels with Cetane numbers higher than 45 may be needed
in higher altitudes orwhen extremely low ambient temperatures are
encountered to prevent misfires.
Use low sulfur content fuel having a pour point (ability
to filter) of at least 10° F (6° C) below the lowest
expected temperature. Keep the fuel clean and

COOLING
SYSTEM
To remove the heat produced during operation, these
engines use a pressure air cooling system. Blades on
the engine flywheel draw air into the front of the
engine housing, force the air past all the cylinders and
out the right side of the engine. See Figure 8.
From the engine outlet, air can be ducted out of the
area.
To improve engine temperature control, an
optional shutter assembly can be installed on the air
outlet. See Figure 9.

MAINTENANCE
With a properly installed engine, maintenance should
consist of cleaning the engine cooling area (fins on
cylinder block and cylinder heads) at regular intervals,
normally every 1000 hours but more often under
dirty operating conditions.
OVERHEATING
This is sometimes difficult to discover in an air-cooled
engine. However, the first sign is usually engine
losing speed momentarily or low engine power. This
happens befbre the engine seizes and results in
scored pistons.

The shutter opening temperature is not adjustable,
but, to assure complete opening, the power element
plunger must contact the shutter roll pin at room

Repair: If the shutter will not open, check the power
element for defects or binding of the plunger. Besure
the shutter does not bind against the housing in any
position.
To test the power element, remove it from the
assembly and heat it. When the unit reaches about
120° F, the plunger should start to move out. Total
movement should be at least 7/32". Do not overheat.

The diaphragm fuel transfer pump which operates
directly off the engine camshaft, draws fuel from a
supply tank and delivers it through two filters to the
injection pump. The injection pump meters fuel and
delivers it at high pressure to the injection nozzle at
the correct time for ignition.
The injection nozzle opens at a set pressure, deliver-

for ignition.
Excess fuel is returned to thetank aftereach injection
cycle by a fuel return linefrom the nozzle. An adapter
combines the leak-off fuel with the flow-through fuel
from the injection pump. A return line connected at
this point returns the combined fuel back to the fuel
supply tank.

secondary filter, make the following checks before
removing the pump.
1.
Check the fuel tank and see that the shutoff valve
is open.
2.
Remove the fuel line from the transfer pump
outlet and work the priming lever on the pump.
Fuel should spurt out of fhe pump. If not, remove
the pump for repair or replacement.
UPPER PUMP BODY
Testing:
If the transfer pump delivers
fuel,
test it with a
pressure gauge or manometer. Perform these tests
before removing the pump from the engine. Remove
the pump outlet and install the pressure gauge
(Figure 13).
Test the valves and diaphragm by operating the
primer lever a few times and watching the pressure. It
should not drop off rapidly after priming has stopped.
Next, run the engine at governed speed on fuel
provided by gravity feed and measure the fuel pump
pressure developed. Pressure should be between 12
and 14 psi with the gauge 16" above the fuel pump.
A low pressure reading indicates extreme wear in one
part or some wear in all parts, and the pump should be
overhauled or replaced. If the reading is above
maximum, the diaphragm is probably too tight or the
diaphragm spring too strong. This can also be caused
by fuel seeping underthediaphragm retainer nut and
between the diaphragm layers, causing a bulge in the
diaphragm. Overhaul the pump and replace the
defective parts.
Low pressure with little or no pressure leak after
pumping stops indicates a weak or broken spring or
worn linkage, and in most cases, the pump should be
replaced.
Figure 14 shows the fuel transfer pump.

Repair
Transfer pump failure is usually due to a leaking
diaphragm, valve or valve gasket. A kit is availablefor
replacement of various parts. Because the extent of
wear cannot be detected by the.eye, replace all parts
in the kit. If the diaphragm is broken or leaks, check
for diluted crankcase oil and replace.
Occasionally, failure is due to a broken or weak spring
or wear in the linkage. In this case, replace the worn
parts or install a new pump. Obtain replacement parts
or install a new pump. Obtain replacement parts other
than the repair kit from an original equipment parts
distributor.

Adjustment
To adjust the opening pressure, remove the nozzle
from the engine. Remove access plug and loosen
cover, adjust pressure adjusting screw with small
alien (Hex) wrench. Install nozzle on a static fuel
nozzle testing fixture (may be purchased from Onan).
Following the tester instructions, adjust the opening
pressure to 1750 psi by turning the adjusting screw.
See Figure 17. Clockwise increases the pressure and
counterclockwise decreases it. Do not try to adjust
the pressure without a testing fixture.
Never use hard or sharp tools, emery paper, grinding
powder or abrasives of any
kind.
•
Soak each nozzle in fuel to loosen dirt. Then clean the
inside with a small strip of wood soaked in oil and the
spray hole with a wood splinter. If necessary, clean
the outer surfaces of the nozzle body with a brass
brush but do not attempt to scrape carbon from the
nozzle surfaces. This can severely damage the spray
hole.
Use a soft oil-soaked rag or mutton tallow and
felt to clean the nozzle valve.

If cleaning will not eliminate a nozzle defect, replace
the nozzle or take it to an authorized service station.
Do not attempt to replace nozzle parts except for the
nozzle and pintle assembly.
Assembly
Rinse both the valve and nozzle thoroughly before
assembly and coat with oil. The valve must be free in
the nozzle. Lift it about 1/3 way out of the body. It

This circuit consists of a manifold heater to heat the
engine intake air in the intake manifold and a glow
plug to heat the precombustion chamber. Used for
engine starting, the manifold heater and glow plug

FUEL
This solenoid (Figure 19) is also referred to as a
governor solenoid as it over-rides the governor. The
solenoid is mounted on the cylinder air housing
bottom pan and controls the injection pump throttle
lever. When energized, the plunger isjn the solenoid
body. When de-energized, the solenoid spring forces
the plunger against the throttle arm, holding the
throttle shut. The solenoid has two coils. Both are
energized for pulling the plunger up. When the
plunger reaches the top, it opens a set of contacts,
de-energizing the pull-in
plunger up.
To test the solenoid, check plunger operation and
currentdraw with 12volt input. Currentdraw with the
plunger up should be about 1 amp. If it is much
greater, the contacts did not open.
Adjust the solenoid plunger so it fully stops injection
when in the de-energized position. To adjust the
plunger length, screw the hex head cap screw and

PUMP
The American Bosch PSU injection pump is located
near the center of the left side of the engine crankcase.
A cam and gear on.the camshaft drive the pump.
The gear drives the pump face gear, providing fuel
distribution to each cylinder in the proper order. The
cam operates the plunger, producing pressure to
deliver the fuel and open the nozzles. A control sleeve
meters the fuel by controlling the length of time the
plunger port is closed, maintaining pressure and the
amount of fuel delivered in each stroke. Timing the
pump to the engine determines the point of port
closing.
The correct port closing point is 19° BTC
(21° prior to Spec P). The control sleeve on the
plunger controls the port opening and this depends
on the throttle setting:
Adjustments: One.adjustment screw, located on the
iniection pump control assembly, sets the maximum
iniection rate. Set the maximum stop screw while
qradually increasing the load to stop thethrottle atthe
smoke point.
Repair: Since most fuel system troubles are not due to
a faulty injection pump, test the rest of thefuel system
before condemning the injection pump.
Onan discourages field repair of the injection pump
because of the exceptionally close tolerances
between parts and the specialized equipment
. necessary for repair. The injection pump is an
expensive part of the unit and even a particle of dirt as
fine as talcum powder could score its working
surfaces. If the rest of the fuel system is in working
order and fuel delivery abnormal, remove the pump
for replacement or repair. American Bosch maintains
a world-wide repair service for these pumps.

When removing the pump for replacement, record the
button thickness and port closing dimensions
stamped on the side of the pump mounting flange
(Fiaure 20). These values are important in timing the
new pump to the engine.
Injection Pump Timing: Time the injection pump to
the engine by using the proper thickness timing
button between the pump plunger and tappet. It is
timed to the engine at the factory so the port closing
for iniection occurs at 19° BTC (21° BTC prior to
Spec P). See Figure 21.
Use Method 1 when replacing an old pump, if the port
closing dimensions and button number of the old
Dump were recorded. Use Method 2 if thedimensions
are lost, and old pump is being retimed, or when
replacing either the camshaft or crankshaft.

transmitted from the cup to the yoke and onto the
throttle.
Tension on the the governor spring determines the
speed at which the engine is governed. Sensitivity is
controlled by the threaded portion bf the governor
arm which changes governor spring action
trolling the speed drop from no load to full
con-
load.
The two speed and variable speed Onan governors
are basically similar to the constant speed type. The
difference is a second spring, riding in a sleeve,
connected to the governor arm. It is completely
relaxed during low speed operation, but combines
with the constant (or low) speed spring when brought
into play by either manual orsolenoid control to exert
a greater than normal force on the governor
arm.
If a
ratchet lever is used to control high speed, thesystem
is variable in nature. See Figure 26. The low speed
adjustments are the same as the constant speed
adjustments. High speed in solenoid controlled, two
speed systems can be adjusted by changing the
length of the solenoid rod.
Maintenance: The linkage must be able to move freely
through its entiretravel. Periodically lubricatethe ball
joints with graphite or light non-gumming oil. Also
inspect the linkage for binding, excessive slack, and
wear.
Testing and Repair: Removing the gear cover for
access to the governor cup and other internal governor parts is covered in Engine Disassembly Section.
External service and repair is limited to testing spring
tension and checking ball joints.

camshaft passages to connecting rod bearings and
connecting rod passages to piston pin bushings.
Because it aids oil consumption control, the

BY-PASS
VALVE
The by-pass valve (located on the outside ofthe rear
bearing plate) controls oil pressure by returning
excess oil back to the crankcase. Normally, the valve
opens at 25 psi.
High oil pressure may be caused by the plunger
sticking closed, and low oil pressure by the plunger
sticking open. .
To inspect the valve (Figure 29), unscrew the recessed plug in the rear bearing plate. Then lift out the
spring and plunger assembly. Determine valve opera-
tion by comparing spring and plungertospecification
below.
Multigrade oils are recommended for temperature of
30° F and below, but they are not recommended for
temperatures above 30° F. When adding oil between
oil changes, it is preferable to use the same brand as
in the crankcase. Various brands of oil may not be.
compatible when mixed together.
If the oil supply in your local area still has the API designations ML,
MM,
MS, DG, DM and DS, use an oil with the DS designation which
has passed the Series 3 Test and at least Sequence I of the
Automotive Manufacturer's MS Sequence Tests. To reduce oil
consumption to a normal level In the shortest time on a new or

Repair parts for the pump are not' individually
available except for gaskets. If thepump is excessively worn, replace it. Disassemble the pump by removing two cap screws holding the pump cover to the
body. To improve pump performance, adjustthegear
end clearance by changing gasket thickness between
the pump body and cover. Use the thinnest gasket
permitting free movement of the pump shaft. Oil all
parts when assembling the pump.
Installation includes filling the pump intake and outlet
with oil to be sure it is primed before installing.
OIL
LINES
The oil lines in the rocker box (Figure 30) should be
flushed with an approved solvent and the small holes
opened with fine wire. Blow out all other oil lines and
drillings with compressed air whenever the engine is
disassembled. Reach the oil gauge passage by
removing the oil filter mounting plate.
All external oil lines, rocker box oil line and the
internal oil line to the center and rear bearing are
replaceable.

EXHAUST SYSTEM
The importance of exhaust systems (normally
supplied by the customer) cannot be overemphasized. A poor or clogged system causes low
power, overheating and engine damage. A poor
exhaust system increases back pressure which
reduces efficiency. If high back pressure is
suspected,
follow procedure outlined below.
Test the exhaust system by installing an adapter (or
tee) in the exhaust line at the manifold. Connect a
manometer or pressure gauge to the adapter. If there
is a condensation trap'next to the manifold, use it for
the manometer connection. Run engine under full
load and observe the manometer. See Figure 42 for
maximum values. If the reading is higher, theexhaust
system should either be disassembled and cleaned or
altered to reduce back pressure.

If engine disassembly is necessary, observe the
following order (i.e. Flywheel, Gear Cover...). As
disassembly progresses, the order may be changed
somewhat as will be self-evident. The engine
assembly procedure is the reverse of disassembly.
Any special assembly instructions for a particular
group are included in the applicable section. When
reassembling check each section for these special
assembly instructions or procedures.

MAINTENANCE
Check the valve clearances at regular intervals (see
service chart). In addition, clean valve seats at regular
intervals.
39
Page 42
After engine has reached a stable temperature condition the valve clearances may be adjusted. It is
recommended that the valve clearance is set with
engine at room temperature (approximately 75°F).
Allow at least two hours cooling time after engine
operation.
1.
To adjust valve clearance on the two-cylinder
DJBA engine proceed as follows:
a. Turn the flywheel until #1 cylinder is on its
compression stroke, which follows closing of.
intake valve.
b. Turn the flywheel until the TC (top center)
mark on the flywheel lines up with the timing
pointer on the gear cover. Then turn the
flywheel in a clockwise direction for an ad-
ditional 10 to 45 degrees. There is no timing
mark for this position so it must be estimated.
With the piston located in this position the
cylinder will be in its power stroke with both
valves completely closed.
c. Check the cylinder head-bolt torque for44- 46
ft.
Ib.
d.
Using- a feeler gauge, check the clearance
between the rocker arm and the valve. (See
Figure 46). Increase or reduce the clearance
until the proper gap is established adjusting
with the lock nut which secures the rocker arm
to the cylinder head.
The proper valve clearance for the DJBA engine is .009
intake and .007 exhaust.
e. To adjust the valve clearance for the number 2
cylinder, turn the flywheel in a clockwise
direction 180° (1/2 revolution) from the
posi-
tion used in step 2-a. The flywheel position
should be between 10° and 45° past bottom
center.
•
Valve Rotator Clearance: Both the intake and the
exhaust valves on all Onan J-Series engines are
equipped with release-type-valve rotators. The cap
covering each valve tip releases keepertension
valve is pushed: off its seat. This allows the valve to
float in its guide. Engine vibration and cylinder air
flow cause the valve to rotate while floating.
To assure proper operation of this system, valve stem
tip-to-cap clearance should be checked every 5000
hours,
or wheneverthe parts are exposed or removed.
Clearance must be maintained at 0.001 to 0.005 inch
(0.025 to 0.127 mm). Too little clearance will prevent
valve rotation, increasing the possibility of valve
leakage and engine power loss. Too much clearance
can lead to valve breakage. •
To check the clearance, refer to Figure 47 and
procees as follows:
1.
Remove the cap from the valve tip and measure
the depth of the cavity in the cap with a depth
micrometer.
2.
Measure the valve tip height from the cavity depth
to determine the clearance. It should be between
0.001 and 0.005 inch (0.025 and 0.127 mm).
4.
If the clearance is not within specifications,
replace the cap and keepers as a set. When
replacing the keepers, check for wear on the valve
spring retainer where it contacts the keepers. If
wear is over 0.003" replace the retainer. After
replacement of parts, recheck the clearance. If it
is still not within specifications, replace the valve.
Anytime the valves are to be removed, these
measurements should be carried out first. Keep each
valve assembly together as a set. When reassembling,
install the keepers with wear in original position.
Keepers can be inverted to use the unworn side, but
the clearance must then be rechecked. Place a drop of
engine oil on the valve stem before replacing the cap.

TESTING
Use the cylinder compression test to determine the
condition of valves, pistons, piston rings and
cylinders.
To check compression, run the engine until
thoroughly warm. Stop it, and remove all injection
nozzles. Insert the compression gauge in an injection
nozzle, crank the engine, and note the reading.
Compression of a standard new engine cranking at
about 300 rpm is approximately 350 to 400 psi.
Compression readings will deviateconsiderablyfrom
the above readings because of differences in crank-
ing speed, altitude and ambient temperature
conditions. Therefore the specification is given only as a
guide.
The best indication of leakage is the pressure
difference between cylinders.

PISTONS,
RINGS,
CONNECTING
RODS
DJBA engines use cam ground aluminum pistons.
Each piston is tapered and fitted with three compression rings and an oil control
ring.
Full floating piston
pins connect the piston to its connecting rod. The
pins are held in place with a snap ring at each
end.
The
lower end of each connecting rod contains half shell,
precision bearings and the upper end, semi-finished
bushings.
Some engines are fitted with .005" oversize pistons at the factory.
These engines are marked with an E following the engine serial
number. Use 0.005" oversize rings for these pistons.
REMOVAL
AND
DISASSEMBLY
The connecting rod and cap are stamped for proper
installation in the proper cylinder. When removing
piston assemblies, checkthe marking so each can be
installed in the proper cylinder.
1.
Drain the crankcase oil and remove the oil base.
2.
Remove the cylinder heads. Remove carbon from
bore.
3. Remove the cap from each connecting rod and
push the assembly through thetop of thecylinder
bore.
Replace the cap and bearing inserts in the
proper assembly.
4.
Using a ring expander, remove the rings from
each piston.
5. Remove the two retaining rings and push the
piston pin from each piston.
Cylinders: The cylinder walls should be free of
scratches, pitting and scuffing. Check each with an
inside.reading micrometerforout-of-round and wear.
The bore should measure between 3.2495" and
3.2505" and be less than .001" out-of-round.
Rings:
Inspect each ring carefully for fit in the piston
grooves and seating on the cylinder
wall.
Fit each ring
to the cylinder wall at the bottom of its travel, using a
piston to square the ring in the bore. Check the gap
with a feeler gauge. It should be .010" to .020". If the
gap is too small, file the butt ends of the rings. Do not
use rings that need a lot of filing, they will not seat
right on the cylinder walls. If oversize pistons are
used,
use the correct oversize rings. See Figure 51.

Pistons: Clean thoroughly and inspect each piston.
Clean the carbon from the ring g rooves and be sure all
oil holes are open. If any piston is badly scored or
burred,
loose in the cylinders, has badly worn ring
grooves or otherwise is not in good condition, replace
it.
Check the clearance 90° from the axis of the piston
pin and below the oil control
ring.
Clearance should
be .0055 - .0075". If not, replace the piston and check
the cylinder for possible reconditioning.
Piston Pins: Each piston pin should be a thumb push
fit into its piston at room temperatures. If the pin is
excessively loose, install a new one.
FIGURE 51. PISTON RINGS
Connecting Rods: Clean the connecting rods and
check each for defects: Check the connecting rod
bushings for proper clearance with the piston pin.
Clearance should be .0002" to .0007".
