Minor but annoying problems

[Wilhelmus Schreurs]

Thanks Pete:
I did check the fan, and the cooling water temp went to 160 deg and stayed
there. The water level is fine. BUT the oil gauge did show 50 psi then poof,
it is hard right and now it won't start.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

My generator started quitting after about 40 minutes ... and I found
that the cooling fan wasn't working -- the generator was shutting
down to avoid damage due to overheating. SInce your coach is somewhat
older, I don't know if your genny set up is different, however.

It would start then run for 30 seconds or so once it was warmed up,
then stop again. Re start once it had cooled down would run for 30-40
minutes, etc.

There's also a water level sensor that could be part of the problem.
I think Gardner had some experience with that... (Perhaps he'll join
in....)
