Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] 81FC perkins genset,

Hello,
I have just recently purchased a 81FC. On the day of purchase my
first
stop was the fuel station. After adding 100 gallons it would not
start.
The Kenworth truck shop next to the fuel station towed me out of the
pumps and into their shop. After replacing fuel filter (4 years old)
and priming system I was running again. The bill for the tow job and
mechanic for 3/4 hour was $7.80. WOW !!

Finally, after arriving home I started working on the fresh water
system to repair several leaks, (shower control valve-cracked,
kitchen
sink faucet- broke, waterline to toilet-burst) . At a plumbing supply
place I was able to order a shower valve that would fit- delivery 1
week.

As I have to work at my regular job, and time is short, I decided to
have the 81FC serviced by a profesional outfit. Since the Kenworth
shop
treated me so good I decided to give them some more buisness. I had a
lube job and the oil changed and also the cooling system flushed on
the
main engine and the gen set.

I arrived home and started the gen set to provide power while I
continued working on the water system. The gen-set ran for 10 minutes
then shut down and would not start. I called the Kenworth shop and
explained to them that it worked fine before the oil change and
radiator flush. "Bring it in, and we'll look at it" 10 days later(and
some major rewiring to the slide harness) they say they can't find a
fuel shut-off solenoid.

Does anyone know where the Perkins/Kohler solenoids can be purchased?
