Hi Jamie, I have a 88XXV with the same gen set. Check
a few things. Go to the basement and turn off the breakers from the gen
set. If there is a short the Gen won't run. On the gen it self, there is
a solenoid to keep the fuel control throttle open. The wire can vibrate off or
have grease on it. There are sensors to turn off the gen if you loose oil
pressure or the gen gets to hot. If any are not working they would keep the gen
from running. I have had the breaker, solenoid, and hot sensor have
problems. Most were loose wires. For the Filters, mine has a Racor filter
canister. It's located on the right side of the gen set conected to the coach. If this is what you have let me know and I'll send you the numbers for the filter.

Check the air filter. Black smoke is a sign that the engine isn't getting enough air.

NAPA Auto parts (and many other auto parts stores) will have cross reference lists for filters, if someone on this list doesn't have the right numbers.

Hi I had some work done on the coach. In my storage area, front left is a breaker box. There are only 2 breakers that are 50 amp each. They are for each leg in the coach. If you have a short in the lines to the coach from the Gen, the gen engine will not run.

Did anyone mention a stuck injector? Load the two filters with Howe's meaner cleaner in a 15% concentration, bleed the system and run it for all it is worth, smoke and all. You could have a stuck injector or pump. The Howe's is good stuff though some swear by Lucas.
