87 FC 35 Generator??????

[richardgideon]

I recently replaced the fuel shutoff solenoid on my Onan DKD. The instruction
sheet with the new solenoid assembly indicated that when the governor linkage on
the Onan (Kubota Diesel) is wide open against the stop, the electric solenoid
linkage should be adjusted so that the solenoid is "pulled in" all the way.
Linkage adjustment appears to be critical and could result in chattering or
maybe over heating the solenoid.

stroke of the solenoid go to full open????? there is more force, thus more amp
draw required to open the selonoid then hold it open. Recently some rich
friends had an overheating selonoid problem on their new 97EcknfloorPT. Lucas,
The SouthWest guru of Gensets diagnosed the issue and it made perfect sence.
