8K Onan Generator

[pattypape]

Hank,

Yep, you make sense.

I had the Bird in storage and was looking for ideas.
Now that it is home, it looks as you say, a steel platform and four
big bolts. The problem will be removing the rusty exhaust and
getting the motivation for a project. I may wait until next
Spring/Summer. Stephen is shipping the insulation.

I must first winterize the plumbing, change the oil, filters, and
squirt some grease into the chassis ( I hate that dirty job )
Going to change the propane detector, solenoid shut-off and propane
regulator. We had some intermittent propane pressure problems last
winter. 35 degrees this morning, Will use an additive and fill with
winter diesel. Still around $3.00/gal

THanks,

Bill 88 FC Michigan
