Well, after a super busy summer and a little time here and there to work on the 982 & P220, it finally runs. I'm not sure how well yet but it runs and doesn't smoke. I tried a few weeks ago to crank it but it didn't have spark. I ended up replacing the complete ignition system. I didn't make any adjustments to the carb yet but I will when it is in the tractor. I need to do a little research on the oil pressure. I'm not sure if 20 PSI is good or not. Enjoy.

I didn't do WFO yet. This sucker is belly high on my tailgate and if she explodes I don't want the wife dialing 911. Ya, I gotta lot of confidence in my first rebuild. Anywho, I was getting around 20 psi at around 3200 RPM. I'm thinking that is all these run from what I read on WFM & the Wheeldonkey site. The 982's didn't even have a switch for an idiot light and IIRC the other machines use something like a 5psi for a light or ignition kill.

Okay, here we go again. Got everything put back together and cranked it up. What the heck is up with my oil pressure? In the short vid I made it was running maybe 10 psi at 2900-3000 rpm. Actually I cranked it yesterday and seen how low the pressure was so tonight I changed the oil (store brand 30W) and replaced the filter with a Wix 51348. The vid is after the fresh oil and filter change.

When I rebuilt this I did not tear the oil pump apart, maybe I should have? I checked the oil pressure bypass spring and it was in spec so I didn't change it. I guess at this point I'm going to order a new bypass spring and see if that takes care of this issue. On OnanParts.com they tell you to replace the spring on a rebuild or overhaul. Now it's going to be a pia to install this little $6.00 spring.

Does anyone have an oil pressure gauge on their Onan's and if you do, what pressure are you guys running?

My P226 has never had a pressure gauge on it,, only an idiot light.



I do not care if it is 5 or 50 psi,,, as long as the light does not come on when running,, I use it.

The P226 doesn't know it is doing anything while it is cranking the 72" mower deck even in 8" tall grass.

Maybe an idiot light would solve your concern??

Cad, I agree. I put it on to because 982's don't have anything for loss of oil pressure. I'm not sure what my other 982 runs at because it is stock. I've posted on different forums, watched a ton of YouTube vids and I hear a lot of guys are running 30 to 50psi IIRC. I think Wheel Horse uses a switch to kill the ignition if it drops to 5 psi. I ordered a new spring tonight so I'll change it and hope the issue goes away but I'm thinking it is something else.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
