    Fuel going to generator

    I'd guess its the same generator as your 1988 Suncruiser.....I want to know at what point does the generator quit working....Is it when the fuel tank gets to 1/2 or 1/4.....

    Onan generator BGE.......Spark Plug replacement difficulty

    Thanks for the input....Probably the smart thing to do is ignore the rear plug... I'd almost take a bet that it is fine but I want to get to it anyway...It'd bug me if I let it go not knowing for sure it's condition...I'm assuming if the consensus is to let it go then the previous owner or...

    Onan generator BGE.......Spark Plug replacement difficulty

    Thanks Dutch.....I was thinking of that very thing but wasn't sure it could be done that way until your post....Yeah, it looks like you can loosen the rear bolts then remove a couple of side bolts etc then lower the outer edge of the generator via floor or bottle jack just enough to gain access...

    Onan generator BGE.......Spark Plug replacement difficulty

    Thanks for the replies....My generator looks like with the removal of a few bolts and the disconnecting of some electrical leads, fuel line etc that it should drop straight down with the assistance of a floor jack...Mine doesn't appear to be the type of generator that slides out but rather drops...

    1988 Winnebago Itasca refrigerator works fine on AC but not on DC

    Toilet pedal

    Disregard my previous post..... I decided replacing the toilet was a better option.... I'll do that instead of replacing a pedal.....

    Toilet pedal

    All I know at this time is it's a Thretford (?) toilet....I don't know the model # If this helps it has two floor petals...One that lets water in and the other that opens the valve to dump the contents... It's that petal that broke...(dump contents petal)
