Well I want you lookie here.....that's my wonderful "fix it" son Billy. He's a lot like his daddy, if it's broke, let's fix it....NOW!!!!
Billy takes a look at the "fix it" list...... # 3 "fan don't run??? Where's the tools"? In short order it was determined that a burned up fan motor has no chance to turn again in this lifetime.....replace the damn fan motor....or the whole assembly. Google was of little help. Soooo, we jump in Billy's pick up truck an' go to the auto parts store, O'Reilly. Gonna match up a aftermarket cooling fan with the dead one. And that's exactly what we did. Well, with a little modification....using the new motor in the old fan assembly. Fits perfectly. Even looks good.
At this moment, Billy is outside installing the brand spank'n new cooling fan. He already checked for voltage when the engine warms up.....YUP, it's there, 12 volts. Waiting patiently so's I can tell ya if'n it works.
Yeee Harrr.....yeah it do. "You da man Billy (not Bob)".
Back to the Onan generator. When I cranked it up this morn'n, I piddled with the choke by holding it open. Generator came up to full speed just like that, with no black smoke. Hmmmmm, does carburetor need clean'n and adjustments to the choke??? Time will tell. Note: This is the first time the Onan has given this problem. Why now?
Ok, I'm too excitis to write any more today. It's been a rather successful day. Nothing more needs to be said.

ReplyDeleteglad you are getting stuff done, and some mechanical assistance is sooo appreciated! You got the brains and billy got the brawn?
ReplyDeleteAs for genny... did you take out and clean the fuel filter?
