Genny Exhaust
Well the saga on the genny (Perkins/Kohler 12.5kw) on RUBY
continues..After repairing the genny (stator, slip ring, brushes,regulator, end bell bearing etc) the next step, and hopefully the final step is to replace the exhaust. It was leaking at the muffler (not safe) and I am having a terrible time trying to find a new muffler. Donaldson simply says they dont make it anymore, my NAPA guy cant cross it, and BB parts ..well lets just say BB parts..two messages and no return call..I must not be well enough known or I dont have a new Lxi or what ever!! Does anyone know what muffler I should use and where to purchase it?? Also, the old muffler and exhaust pipe would "soot" after running in the same spot for a while..exhaust pipe was 1.5" I want to go bigger maybe 1.75" or even 2.0" to let the engine "breathe" better maybe the sooting will go away then..any thoughts?? Thanks in advance for any input. Scott 86FC35 "RUBY" Murrells Inlet SC (very noisey here..350,000 harleys rolling in..bike week..yuck) |

Genny Exhaust
you need to take the old muffler to a napa or even a tractor supply place,and
just match it up! randydupree93wb ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 13, 2005 5:38 PM Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Genny Exhaust Well the saga on the genny (Perkins/Kohler 12.5kw) on RUBY continues..After repairing the genny (stator, slip ring, brushes,regulator, end bell bearing etc) the next step, and hopefully the final step is to replace the exhaust.

Genny Exhaust
Randy:
Would a Muffler shop (Not A Midas type) be of help? When we replaced the 6.5 Onan with the present 5.5 Onan, the muffler now has a sharp "Bark" How do you get the genny to purr quietly?

Genny Exhaust
a muffler shop may be able to help. i've seen on some older bbs where somebody
put 2 mufflers in line,i guess to quiet it down.just need to be careful not to get too much backpressure.randydupree93wb ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack & Donna Smith To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 13, 2005 9:34 PM Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Genny Exhaust Randy: Would a Muffler shop (Not A Midas type) be of help?

Genny Exhaust
Scott check this site if you already have an old muffler. If not I can
measure mine tomorrow. http://www.unitedmuffler.com/round_truck_mufflers.html Tom1982 FC35 Vernon Center,NY At 09:38 PM 5/13/2005 +0000, you wrote: >Well the saga on the genny (Perkins/Kohler 12.5kw) on RUBY >continues..After repairing the genny (stator, slip ring, >brushes,regulator, end bell bearing etc) the next step, and hopefully >the final step is to replace the exhaust.
