Generator starting issue.... - Mike Meister - 06-26-2006 13:45 update- I have fuel to the carb and spark and the plugs, but no boom (combustion) just noticed however that my oil pressure gauge is pegged all the way to the right and off the chart(100+) I would think that it would be at zero when not running (to the left) Q. is there a oil pressure shut off switch somewhere or am I over thinking things after two whole days of trying to get this thing started... thanks Mike 80FC33 Taylor Mill, Ky (Montana may be delayed this week) Generator starting issue.... - dan - 06-26-2006 13:52 Hi Mike, If you have fuel and spark then all you need is compression, just like a cobra. Take out a plug, put your finger over the hole and spin the engine. Do you have compression? Maybe the timing belt jumped a notch.

Also looking in the manual there are two safeguard breakers on the end of generator. should these be facing left (rear of bus) or fwd (front of bus)??? --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "dan" wrote: > > Hi Mike, If you have fuel and spark then all you need is compression, just like a cobra.

Maybe you are getting spark but it is too weak?
