Trace/Onan starting [RE-wrenches]

[Allan Sindelar]

Drake is correct. Also, you need Rev 4 SW software. Rev.3 may work (I can't
remember anymore) but has other limitations. If the SW is not Rev.4, it may
be simpler to purchase the TWS (Two Wire Start) option from Onan, which
makes the start algorithm work like a Kohler.
