Today we ran the genset on pure Seafoam (hitting it with carb cleaner spray can from time to time to keep it running), 50%, straight gas, 50% again then 100% Seafoam to set it soak again for a day or two. On straight gas it pulled the roof AC and a 250 watt work lamp for a load. It was much smoother today on straight gas but not perfect yet.
The owner had hit a limb and made a hole in the plastic cab over on the upper right corner a couple inches before the rubber roof starts. It was about the size of a small egg. We cleaned the surface and used Door and Window insulating spray foam to fill the hole and to cement a piece of thin aluminum over the hold. This approach keeps you on the ladder a long time because you have to hold it in place as it cements on the bottom side to the cab over.
We then took a pocket knife and trimmed away the dry foam and re cleaned it well and covered with two pieces of Eternabond Web Seal and gave it a UV protective layer. I was impressed with the look and feel of that approach.
The owners want to show it this next weekend. Now that the roof is sealed and the generator running well enough to pull the roof AC much better today it will mainly be cleaning more inside and out to have it ready to show.
We added Seafoam to the gas tank today and ran the V-10 engine to mix the fuel and Seafoam. For a new generator that was not started for 10 years (showed .2 hours my son said before we started messing with it) I have been impressed that is is now run so so and getting better. It has been hard work but it is for a good cause because this would have been expensive if taken to an RV Center and it was good shop project for the son to be involved with. At least the roof is stronger on the right corner than when new.
