Generator Won't Start?
Curt:

Didn't mean to sound like disagreeing. Just pointing out that a diesel engine
will run indefinitely once started. If it hasn't started yet there must be some
weird gremlin in the thing.
There are not many things in my system that will prevent the engine from
starting. Hope it gets going.

Leroy,
Agreed. That is what I'm pointing out. It could be electrical issues are
keeping solenoids (or something else) from performing as required.
Another thought is getting Mike's unit to a test station will hopefully
support Mike having a working generator when he leaves on his trip in
less than two weeks. If we were closer we could join in the search for
the problem(s). The shop spent about an hour to test our gen. system,
$85.00, cheap for this part of the country.

Curt:

Just as I sent the e-mail one other thing came to mind. Glow plugs. It would
be unusual if they failed abruptly but anything can happen. These 4 cylinder
diesel engines are very difficult to start without glow plugs operating
properly.

Should go here, past my bed time for sure.

Hey Mike!, this thread goes back a long ways to Message #12391 when
you said you were heading to Montana in 2 weeks. Do you have that
generator running yet?

We don't want you to miss the bus, it's yours! And...we hate to see
you heading West without the air, been there, done that. Even with
the windows open you can get little air.

Give a report on what you have found and done, surely one of us
here have had a similiar situation. We have all the answers but
slap outta questions.

You said the "Light" did not come on when you pressed the switch.
Have you checked the fuses?
Have you measure any voltages?

Leroy,

I didn't read it as you were disagreeing. You are right about diesels
once started. The one in question needs that start. Too bad we aren't
closer to take a look. My thought was to get it to a shop early and not
interfere with his vacation.

I had BIG troubles with our gen. set last year. I planned to leave on
vacation in June...got underway in September. It took that long to get
the unit R&R twice and working again...very long story...$$$ too.

Gen Set Coolant Project - Yesterday & today I installed the fan housing
& radiator, and all new hoses. The hoses were fun. The lesson learned is
the old hoses are exactly the right length. The new hoses fit fine after
I cut them back to be the same length. I'm waiting on the temperature
sender and and the high temp. sensor to arrive. Should have this all
buttoned up and working early next week.

You said the hoses are high priced...right! They cost nearly $400.00.
That comes out to about $16.00/ft.

Generator Won't Start?
Curt: Sounds like you are getting there on your generator. You
will be very happy you did the upgrade. It should provide you with
long term service. Mine works great since I did all of the deferred
maintenance. Today I put a granite countertop and a Oceana hand made
glass sink in our vanity. Little things really do count. Looks
fabulous.

I hope that generator started. Anyone heard? While I was installing
the top I was searching for electrical reason and wondered if the
following could happen. There are 4 start stop switches for the
generator on my coach, each spring loaded to neutral position Is it
possible that one of the switches is loaded in the stop position?
Would this cause the generator not to start? I do not know and am
afraid to pull off a test for fear that I may not like the result if
something goes wrong.

OK Leroy, now you just have too much time on your hands!! Wish you

Uh,... can you sent me pictures and supply lists on the vanity sink??
I kinda sorta wanted to do the same thing.

Thanks,

Generator Won't Start?
Leroy,

Where is Mike?

Interesting thought..."There are 4 start stop switches for the generator
on my coach, each spring loaded to neutral position Is it
possible that one of the switches is loaded in the stop position? Would
this cause the generator not to start? I do not know and am afraid to
pull off a test for fear that I may not like the result if something
goes wrong."

I don't know the answer and like you don't care to experiment. Would
removing each switch and testing them provide the answer? I'd have to
spend some time thinking about how to test the switches. Someone will
respond and and let us know.

Generator Won't Start?
Hey guys!
Been busy at work this week. I have not had a chance to look at the
Gen issue yet, will go get the bird in the morning and trouble (with
my limited electrical knowledge)

It has fresh plugs (2 months old) but I will check, I will also
check the fuse in the control panel but I replaced that 2 months ago
also...

like I said, I started it 10 times in 2 days after I installed the
disconnect switch. A week later- NOTHING!

I will update tomorrow morning around 10am. If I can't get it going
by Sunday night I will take it to a shop (we leave Friday afternoon
for a 4,000 mile roundtrip drive to Big Fork,Mt)

Thanks for thinking about me

-Mike: Well, I had my wife pull the invoice for the sink, dated
3/02/2005. It took me awhile to get it in the coach. I really do
have a job and I am tired of it. Anyway, the company name is Doug
Johnson & Associates, Inc. 1387 Shotgun Road, Sunrise FL. Telephone
954-423-2250, http://www.dougstubs.com. I used Oceanna blue reflections. It
looks 3 inches deep. Absolutely beautiful. There are other colors. I
understand there are clones out there now but I have not seen the
quality. You will need to purchase a pop up sink drain, the one you
activate with you finger at the bottom of the sink. The sink is only
3/8 thick. The same company can help you with that. The granite top
3cm, in this case Jurassic Green, with 1/2 bull nose can be
fabricated by any good granite fab shop. Be certain that they install
it with silicone to keep it from moving. Plumbing retro was no
problem. I used 3/8 soft copper available at any good hardware
store. I used flared connections. I will take pictures this weekend
of the upgrade. We are leaving for Daytona on Tuesday morning and
will not be back until Sunday. I will post the pics after we get
back. Gotta take the grandkids to the race.

I love my ol Bird
