Well, I don’t discount your experiences gents. So what % chance you think that the slip rings will corrode and need cleaned if it sits 2,6,12 months?
A friend has a cottage on an island in the Great Lakes. It is only used from the end of March until the beginning of November. The only electricity is provided by an old gasoline powered Onan 4KY gennie.
Each fall the carb is run dry after the oil and plugs are changed. That’s it.
Come spring it starts right up and runs all summer just fine, as it has like that for decades.
BTW, the edict to ‘exercise’ an Onan only appeared in the manuals AFTER it became Cummins Onan. So is it a technical requirement or a product liability requirement?
