I am having one generator problem after another with my Onan Microlite KY series 4KW. I am now getting no voltage difference between the neutral wire from the genset at the automatic power switch and the "hot" line (black) wire at the same location. Checking with my multi-meter, I am getting...

OK folks, I think the generator motor will probably keep running if the MH is moving or the generator compartment door is open. I think that hot air recirculating under the MH causes the stalling problem, but I won't know for sure until I get the new generator problem solved (look for a new...

I did not remove the fuel line and check flow, but I did connect 12V to the fuel pump, and it pumped fuel to the carb. It sounded like I expect a reciprocating pump to sound. Nothing happens at the fuel pump when the start switch is pushed to the "stop" position, and the owner's manual says...

I am having renovations done on my house with the MH in the driveway for an escape from racket and odors (paint, stain, polyurethane, etc.). Occasionally I will be spending the night in it, but probably not on very cold nights. However, I do not want to winterize and de-winterize the MH during...

I have a 1997 Winnebago Adventurer with a KY series Onan. The RV is new to me. The dealer demonstrated the all the RV systems before I took delivery, and the generator was supposed to be freshly "remanufactured." It ran fine and produced power. The motor itself is clean and the oil is perfectly...

I just took my first look at gaps/holes between the cabin and engine bay and under the hood. Just after dark this evening, I got out a shop light and shined it near areas suspected to have gaps or holes, and I found some issues: Fortunately, the doghouse should be fairly well sealed to its...

Mpyre: That appears to be a very good choice for the engine side of the doghouse, floor, and firewall. There is a good chance that I'll use it because one web merchant selling the stuff claimed a rather high temperature rating of 400 F for direct contact, so it should not deteriorate quickly...

Sam!: That is the info I am looking for. There are a bunch of great links within and connected to that forum thread. Thanks! legrandnormand: Diesel fuel still stinks very badly, but maybe you know where to always get full service when refueling.  ;D The '97 454 runs great, runs quiet, has less...

SeilerBird: I guess that if you push my gasser with your DP, I could enjoy a much quieter cabin in my gasser, otherwise, if I just get a DP, my gasser will make exactly the same amount of noise that it makes now. ;D Seriously, I will never want a diesel: the fuel stinks much worse than stinky...

Except when cruising at moderate speeds, there is a lot of engine noise and road noise in the cabin. Climbing hills is very noisy, even if they aren't a challenge for the drivetrain. The gasket for the "dog house" is in good shape, and the engine does not make a lot of noise, but the noise that...
