8K Onan Generator

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

-Bill: watch out how u hook up the exhaust pipe for genny when u
do the job..i learned the hard way as it was hooked too close to
passenger side back BRAKE HOSE..and I lost it AFTER arriving in RENO
from california...lucky it did not burn out comming down the
mountain...happened in a parking in RENO...i had spare hose and was
on my way in an hour.
