Last night the generator was running just fine, and O'h dummy me turned off the LP gas while the generator was running. The generator quit, and I turned the LP back on. Now the generator will not start. It cranks fine from inside the coach and at the generator, but it will not start.
Help !! I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow. 98 Dutch Star

You may have sucked all the gas out of line feeding the Gen. You may just have to keep trying to start Gen until it starts.
Do you have a manual to tell you what to do if this happens.
Try other gas appliances to draw out as much air as possible.

Thank You 007, Lit the stove burners and purged the air from the system.
Generator fired up right away. What a life saver. I've owned this Dutch Star for one week now and learning things every day. Thank You Again
