Just this week had to rebuild starter on Marquis 7000 in '99 Winnie. Really hard to drop the front of the gen to get to starter on back side. Removed 3 of the 4 bolts on each end and jacked it down. Starter was easy to get off then & took it to starter repair shop. He had to order bendix with shaft. I had to let the gen hang down for 2 days as I couldn't get it up by myself and some oil seeped into bottom cylinder. I cleaned it out as good as I could and let it sit in correct position for a day. When I started it up it looked like a smoke generator! Most of smoke went away after 10 minutes but some remained even after about a half hour of running. I wonder if this will eventually stop or did I ruin something. The gen runs good.
