I would try calling them... they probably have older schematics etc I would think.... I get alot further with a phone call and being super nice....

abbox-  try www.smokstak.com  - this is an excellent vintage engine, generator etc, website and they have links for  many of the older engines and  forums including an Onan link -scroll down the list to the lower right side and you will see the Onan link - I have directed many people on other RV forums to this site and many of them found what they needed.

I listed the UN Generator and Controls Service Manual (900-0196) in this post http://www.classicwinnebagos.com/forum/index.php?topic=2429.msg11124#msg11124.  It doesn't contain the picture your looking for though.  That post includes links to the resources for the manual.
Other LK manuals are
service parts 934-0229
930-0220
900-0336
930-0221

You are going to have to scour the web and ebay for them.
The picture I posted was one I found on the web and is inteneded to help people ID their generator.
Unfortunantly, CumminsOnan has gone the way of "we can only sell/support newer stuff" completly forgetting that it was the reliability and dependability of the older stuff that made their name (at least the Onan portion).

problrm solved wat i found is there are three holes in the bracket tat mounts to the block by trial and error i used the top most hole and set the speed screw max up (almost unthreaded)  and it now runs 130volts at no load :)ThmbUp
