hdonlybob Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 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..

Ray,IN Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Looks like it would have been easier to build a slide-out frame for the genset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdickinson Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 What make is the generator? Is it diesel or gas and what type of muffler does it have. My unit looks similar and I'm trying to find a way of reducing the noise. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdonlybob Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydrvr Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works very well, barely can hear it from inside, even in the back bedroom, and very quiet on the outside too. Cheers, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdickinson Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Mine is diesel...does the muffler on yours make a substantial difference in noise abatement? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
