Generator Won't Start?

[Curt Sprenger]

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.
