TOM H. - Yes, 982's had the B48G Onan when new. But with Onan changing hands so many times over the last 10-15 yrs they're REALLY hard to get parts for and they cost a fortune. The machine shop I use up in FondDuLac, WI. that Dave Kirk recommends & uses told me they try to discourage anyone from working on or rebuilding them just because of the availability & cost of parts. They have old Packard V-12 engines, Buick straight 8's, etc sitting around, have even done radial airplane engines. When I was working on my K321 they had a 426 Street HEMI on a stand in their showroom, and later had a 409 4bbl Chevy sitting next to it, so they're comfortable with rare old engines. The owner does pride himself in machining & building up a KILLER IH C60 engine for CUB Farmall's & LoBoy's. But doesn't really want to work on an Onan. Kinda makes me think about WHAT will find it's way into my 982 more and more all the time. An air-cooled 2-cyl. Duetz sounds better all the time!
