Leeann - Onan Emerald I 4000
Griff - I've found a couple diagrams, I think the one that is messed up controls the Idle/timing advancement, its rough when cold, but smooths out once it warms up. I haven't driven it anywhere, but before rebuilding the carb it was starting to smoke a bit... and that's gone now. I found a factory guide on the carb... but the whole thing to tuning it is measuring and bending... not much screw turning... maybe I'll take it back off this winter and play with it for a week... we'll see.
The bulbs I got were cheap off Ebay... I've been wanting to try LEDs for a while for 1) heat 2) battery draw. They were 'recommended' by another group of Vintage Holiday Rambler folks I follow.

They're OK... not a cool as the LEDs we have for our house where side by side to an incandescent, you can't tell the difference in light. These are a little more blue, and don't have quit the dispersion. But, they're definitely cooler, and at night when you really need them... light things up just fine.
