This aftermarket kit from AIPICO supplies replacement contact points and a condenser engineered to match the factory fit and function for many Onan twin-cylinder engines. It’s a straightforward repair that can bring back crisp ignition, smoother idling and more predictable starting behavior without replacing the whole magneto assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will replacing the points and condenser improve starting and idling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld points can develop pitting and improper gap, and condensers can weaken, both of which disrupt spark quality.
