Update is that the spark plug cap is small inside so you do take the top off the spark plug terminal.
I got the new primer bulb ok, and got the gen running, but no 120v output. Turns out it needs a new inverter, which is listed at $377 plus shipping. (I got this gen for free with the Class C recently)
Local Hyundai certified repair guy says an hour and a half or so to put in a new inverter so somewhere around $500 and a bit for a working used Hyundai 2000si, if I want to. Repair guy says might as well buy a new one. Local used ad today for a Honda 2000 for $1,000 for comparison.
I like that the Hyundai 2000 is rated for 2000 but the Honda is 1600, which is perhaps not enough for my 100 amp charger. The Hyundai is probably louder.
My Honda 3000 works great, but it won't quite fit in the Class C. It used to ride in the back of the truck with the 5er. I still have the smoke- making, loud 2- stroke 900w gen that I got last winter, but have not used while camping yet (if ever).
I can get the 3000 in the Class C if I take the bottom rails off the gen. I could then pull it out onto a same height dolly beside the MH to run the gen and then slide the gen back in. I can find a place for the dolly ok. Unfortunately this big side compartment is in the long overhang behind the back wheels, so weight is an issue.
I will figure something out, but that's the update on the Hyundai. I did get great help from the guys at their tech support unit back east.
