keeping generator engine warm

[Jeff Miller]

Although I'm jumping into this thread rather late and it might have
been mentioned:

For the pre-heat to work, the pre-heat switch on the generator
control box must be on (up). This is the toggle-switch on the control
box in the gennie compartment, the one next to the start-stop switch.

For a quick-fix to warming the engine, you can buy magnetic oil-pan
heaters, just plug it in and stick it to any iron/steel to keep some
warmth in it. Most auto-parts suppliers have or can get these in
various wattage (here in cold climates).

Thought others on the list might benefit from it! Thanks, Tom (and
everybody!)! Stew tried the rocker switch suggestion first thing
Saturday morning, and it did the trick! I'm sure he'll read and be
thankful for the rest of the thread, too, as am I!
