Cleaning Onan generator slip rings
Howdy, has any one bought that slick stick to clean the slip rings on their generator? Wondering if I can perform that operation without dropping the generator. Thanks to all who reply.

I have used the "Slick Stick" a bunch. worn a couple out. If the slip rings are only slightly oxidized/worn you can clean them. I usually cut a piece of green scotchbright pad to fit end of a paint stir stick or chopstick, tape it on with elec tape. This works well on older Emerald, Marquis, and newer 5.5 and 7 kw sets. Just remove brush block for access to rings. You dont specify what model of 4K Onan you have, but likely a 4KY Microquiet. the brushes are behind fan/flywheel and will require some disassembly to access brushes on this model
