Generator Job Is Completed

Yep-
The generator is back up and it runs very nicely!



It is hard to tell in this photo but the box has been sanded and repainted black also.

Generator Tune-Up

Some of you that we met in Quartzsite will remember that the generator would not run the first morning that we were there.
We had a vendor who was supposed to fix it but we were not important enough for them to get it done during the 3 days that we were parked in their work bay at the Big Tent...so this has become the "project of the week".

You can see the generator base is being propped up with jacks and steadied by stacked boards.


We found the carb altitude setting on the 5000 foot altitude setting.

A new carburetor has been ordered and the the spark plugs have been changed. I know other parts have also been ordered so that it will all be replaced while the generator is down.
Wish us luck!

GrrrRooommm ...Roooomm Rooommmmmm

That would be the sound of the generator kicking on after running the electrical wiring from the generator to the transfer switch!

...and here is the transfer switch box shown with the wiring coming in on the left

Finally- you can see the new manual cord reel in front of the wiring and the transfer switch.
