1st: Thank you'll for your help and contribution to
MY dilemma
2nd: Hopefully you'll have a really good sense of humor
3rd: And very sheepishly... OK, here's my typical routine for starting my 12.5 Onan generator: I push the "START" button on the dash counsel, bedroom panel or the genny itself. I hold it for say 2 sometimes as long as 4 seconds. Several times I've had to try this and then stop, wait 30 seconds and retry. This time I enlisted a neighbor - a frickin' genius with most things mechanical and electrical.
Picture this: We're both standing over the generator and I'm explaining my dilemma as well as letting him read the thread on this forum. He asks "What did you hear?" I respond with "Watch this..." and with that proclamation, I push the "START" button on the generator itself. For some reason... I held it longer - about 10 seconds... … guess what happened????
Before I answer this let me explain that I am a very, very lucky individual which apparently gives rise to my life's longevity... so far. Well, and without further ado... … … the generator
ROOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUURS to attention and functions beautifully. As it always had before.
Now please understand that its 53 degrees out side. NOT cold in many comparative climates. But, for some reason, this time it simple took longer for this puppy to start!!!!!!!!!!!!
:eek :
Go figure.
