Genny Replacement aka parts available
Hey folks, we have just decided on replacing the Perkins/Kohler genny
in our 86FC. We are going to install a new Power Tech 12.5 and wanted to know if any FC owners have had any experience with PowerTech. I am currently scheduling this for about three weeks and would like to know of any pitfalls, input, opinions about this work. Any/all input would be appreciated. My email is cme4boatsataoldotcom.. Thanks in advance Scott B 86FC35 "RUBY" Murrells Inlet SC "right next to heaven" |

We had a 8kw PowerTech on our '03 Dutch Star. never had a problem with it. Depending on your design, there may be a spark arrestor on the exhaust tip that needs to be unscrewed and cleaned out every 50 hours or so. I just used hot water. It would get plugged with exhaust soot. The first oil change is also at 50 hours. Steve Harrie '86 PT 38 St. George UT [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

Gene thanks for the kudos on the Grand Strand..."right next" well you
know ..The genny has about 1900 hrs on it.. I have recently done some work ..new regulators (three) new stator, new endbell bearings etc..less than 50 hrs on that. When we pull it out it will be for sale or is for sale now..duh..motor does not leak a drop...runs like a top..but I have been chasing "gremlins" for 9 mos in the genny side of it.Kind of like nickle and dimeing. Prolly just a fuse..but when it is out and on the bench we will see.If you have any interest email me and I will give you the full story cme4boatsataoldotcom...What do you do..your S/N is interesting ..we are lookin at log homes... --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "woodland_builders" > Scott I was just in your town a few weeks ago.

Hey Ralph, I am putting in the open model. Then enclosed dimensions
are kind of prohibitive. I should have pleny of room with the open though. I am going to have them modify the radiator and fan. My plan is to lay the radiator flat and use a squirrel cage fan. I think this coupled with the soundproofing I have already done. Should make a noticable difference in noise. We will see. Tell Charlette hey for us.
