Hello all,
We just bought a 96 coachmen santara. before we purchased it the previous owner told us that the generator starts but it
wont stay on due to carburetor problems. We did a little research and found out that we can replace the carb for under $300.
After we purchased it we took it to the shop to get it fix. Once the mechanic replaced the carb he realized that the generator turns on
but once you put a load on it it shuts down, so we had him further investigate. Finally he said that the generator is fried and it'll need
new stator and rotor, and its gonna cost another $1500. ($400 each for stator and rotor)+labor. Just wanna know if anyone had a similar problem, and if so is this
a fair price? we have an onan 4000 with under 400 hours. Also is it easy to replace the stator and rotor?
thanks
