Ah... you're right on that. When I got back in Oct and the genny stopped working, I did put it in storage. I've gone to the storage lot perhaps a dozen times since Oct and tried to start it but without success. So I am well aware that 6 months of idleness hasn't done it any good and perhaps more harm. And that's OK. I don't have a problem spending the money to get stuff fixed especially for problems I may have exacerbated. I will be going back to Cummins in the next month to have it fixed before I start wandering again. I just thought how it died (virtually overnight) was strange and was seeking opinions. Also I was thinking before I show up at Cummins again, maybe I should get a bit of education, vis a vis what might need fixing, so that I don't appear as mechanically stupid as I really am. :B :B
