FC Generator Replacement

[Scott]

Hey Scott, Last fall I replaced the genset in our 86FC35 with a
PowerTech 12kw unit and could not be happier. The unit is MUCH quieter
than the Kohler and is much more fuel effecient. As another said I
think it is several hundred pounds lighter as well. As far as we are
concerned we think it was money well spent.

NOW if you are looking to simply quiet the noise, I would consider
reworking the genset compartment. John F and Woody have redone theirs
and I have seen/listened to their units before and after. WOW WHAT A
DIFFERENCE. Both have pictures on the forums. This modification is
substantially less expensive than a new unit if you are just trying to
quiet things a bit. Randy D helped John F and could probably give you
some tips or even do it for you...

Best of luck
