It appears the problem is the drive belt or the drive coupling, or both. regardless, the rotor is not turning. The engine starts then dies, apparently because the control board is not sensing output...

Has anybody encountered this problem?
What did it cost to get the genset removed, repaired, and reinstalled?
So far, the only place I have found to get the work done is the local Cummins/Onan dealer. They can't look at it until the 10th.
Luckily, I have a power/water pull-through site for our next trip.
Figure approx. $138/hr labor and about 2.5 - 3hrs total for in and out + whatever the problem might be with it. This assuming absolute honesty and no extras.
With over 1000 hours on the unit, they will want to replace the belt and hoses, no matter how new they look, so your call on that sort of thing.
