Very loud unit

I have an Onan generator in a Motorhome.   At least that one has a low

randomly.  It’s on it’s second fuel pump in about 600 hours.    Output

Our newer splice truck has this model:

It’s reasonably quiet, has low oil shutdown and a filter. Made it 
about 25 hours before it had to go in for service for a entirely new 
wiring harness because it would randomly shut down.

I have had it with the piece of shit Onan generator
on the fiber trailer.   If the splicing trailer
didn’t have a built in fuel tank I would just strap
a Honda on and be done with it, but I would prefer
something with a fuel pump.

Re: [AFMUG] Does anyone other than Onan make a decent mounted gas generator?

2021-02-19 Thread Bill Prince 
It's part of their new hybrid package. I think it has a large battery that
powers the inverter up to a point, and if you use too much power, it starts
the engine to supplement. The generator also runs as a motor as a
supplement to the gas engine, but only for short bursts. The braking is
hybrid regen/friction, so if you are "light" on the brakes, that energy
goes into the battery. Based on what I've read about it, the only energy
that goes into the big battery while you're driving is from the regen.

I presume (but don't know) that there is some way to charge the big battery
via an AC plug?

The new F150 that they're referring to has MUCH more power than that, up to 
7.2kW.

I have had it with the piece of shit Onan generator on the fiber 
trailer.   If the splicing trailer didn’t have a built in fuel tank I would 
just strap a Honda on and be done with it, but I would prefer something with a

You would of course power the fuel pump via the ignition switch circuit 
such that when the generator is off, so is the pump.

It's not that they burn through oil fast, but that the capacity of their 
oil sump is small and normal usage will go through it.  They run them 
sloppier than an automotive four stroke.   We ran a bunch of honda's for 
20-30 hours at a time during the storms of 16-17...

I have had it with the piece of shit Onan generator on the fiber trailer. If 
the splicing trailer didn’t have a built in fuel tank I would just strap a 
Honda on and be done with it, but I would prefer something with a fuel pump.
