Generator Advice
I am looking at a 98 class A with a 10kw Onan diesel Generator. Seller reports that the generator "turns over but does not start". I had a similar 10KW Onan in my 98 Beaver Marquis and it did something similar (turned over with the starter but wouldn't fire) so I took it to a Cummins/Onan Coach Care shop. They diagnosed it as dead, needs replacement. (Something to do with the stator windings, IIRC)
Is that likely the diagnosis for this one, too? Or is there some other likely possible fault that would be easier to repair?
On three coaches I've used the generator for a total of about 8 hours of generating and maybe 60 hours of exercising, so it's not a big problem if it's a boat anchor, but if it's likely gone that should affect the price.
Thanks
