I'm about to take my first RV trip in my 1990 Fleetwood Flair but want to try to fix one more thing. My coach had a Aqua Magic Toilet Model: SH and for the life of me, I cant figure out how to get it loose to replace a part inside. I cant get to it from the bottom of the coach. Its bolted down...

:( I ordered my headers and never got it after all this time. I am preaty discusted on what Doug Thorley put me through trying to buy headers. I paid for them and month later never even shipped. They had more excuses than I can count; no one seems to know whats going on. At this point, I am...

OK, Problem Solved. It turned out it was a weak - worn out fuel pump. What was happening is that when the MH was still, the pump was just strong enough to keep the fuel pumping. But when the MH was moving, It was not strong enough to pump the fuel as the fuel sloshed around. Basically, the fuel...

The carb is level at about the halfway mark on the tank. I didn't think of it that way but you may be right. I may go ahead and replace the pump just in case. I know it has to be working some at lease but I guess sometimes they get just weak. It looks like the original pump so at 19yo, it's...

Ok, I got a tech to drop the tank and everything is solid. The inside of the tank is very clean and the are no cracks, he's or anything in the aux pipe going into the tank. This Friday, he is going to add another couple inches to the aux pipe (generator pipe). Is that wise to do? It won't be at...

I think I'll do that. I'm having headers put on my MH this thursday and he will drop the generator and take a look at it. He also said not to rush on buying one. Usually its something simple to fix.

Ive been having some issies lately with my Onan Emerald Plus Generator. Today, going down the road it just all the sudden quit and I cant get it starter again. Theres fuel in the lines. I also noticed that now when I start the generator, it is hard to turn over and when it does, it makes alot of...

I think you hit the nail on the head. I did alot of thinking on what I'm doing when the problem occurs and now everything is making sence. I remember when I filled up my gas tank, I was able to go a long ways before the generator turned off. Now that I have a half tank, it turns of fairly quick...

Ok, I loosened the fuel cap and the problem persists. I'm also noticing it's not turning back on right away. I have three theories of what it could be. Pplease comment on what you think it is.  1. The low oil sensor is bad and causing the gennerator to turn off. 2.  The board or circuit in...

I always thought it had something to do with the fuel system. I know it has a low pressure fuel pump so it doesn't take much to stop the fuel flow. I will give that a try tomorrow.

It's a 1990 onan emerald plus 4000 watts.

I guess I'll go ahead and replace the rubber fuel line from the tank to the the pump.  If it the fuel pump pressure, how do I test that?

I am posting my problem to see if anyone has a solution for this weird issue. My problem is, when I start the generator with the motorhome engine off, it will run great all day and night. But, if I start the front engine and start driving down the road 15-20min later, it cuts off. Here is what...

I just changed the oil about a week ago and like I said it runs better for sure. When I changed the oil, I completely drained the oil out and added the required 3.5 Quarts of oil. I dont think I even checked the dipstick after I added the oil but I will definitely do that. Someone told me I need...

I will have the front glass re-seated tomorrow. The cheapest I could find someone to do it for is $100 a side. Most companies were going to charge me over $500, so $200 sounded good to me. I will let you know how it turns out.
