Some People Just Do NOT Think Ahead...(Generator Repair)


Recommended Posts

Still having trouble finding the problem with my Generator...Have tracked down most everything listed on the internet info....as in brushes, checked all volt specs in the wiring, etc., fuel, and so on..

Not giving up, but reason for post today is that apparently at some point this generator must have been added.

Talk about a cobbled up frame to hold it...geesh...NO thought to getting the back cover off to see wiring and brushes....or removing it to work on..

What a mess.....this stuff really burns me up.... I have built a lot of stuff over the years, and never never would have done a stupid job like this..

We wound up cutting off a rear bracket and back plate to get to the area we needed...

Then to top it all off, just after we started it began to sprinkle...then..yep you guessed it...all out rain..

My buddy stayed under the Motor Home and kept working while I put a large piece of hard plastic over my head and still got drenched... :(

Look at the cobbled up framing on this job..

Cheers,

Bob

Looks like it would have been easier to build a slide-out frame for the genset.

It is a Honda EV6010....does a very good job, and is quiet. I have been very pleased with it.

I will take a pic of the muffler system later today and post it for you..

Cheers,

Bob

There were factory mufflers available when this unit was in production. Four different versions for different installs. I have a right side muffler, and, while it's not as quite as I would like, it's almost inaudible inside. There were also under mount mufflers. These weren't just the muffler, it was a complete frame system designed to mount directly to the genset.

Here are a couple of pictures I took..

It is a gas generator.

The muffler says "QuietFlow" on it.

It works very well, barely can hear it from inside, even in the back bedroom, and very quiet on the outside too.

Cheers,

Bob
