SOLVED: look at your Onan 4K genset for me?

Harvard,
I'm still tinkering, which includes more run cycles because it only binds after it gets hot. Preliminarily, I feel that adjusting it richer (CCW- counter clockwise) will lessen and maybe cure the problem. But I should have something to report before you use your MH again.
You are supposed to set it by loosening the disk, then rotating it till you see the linkage in the view hole. (Which is darn hard to see.) Then turn it one mark CW for every 10 degrees you are above 70 degrees, or CCW for every 10 degrees you are below 70. Then tighten it back up. I set mine today; it was about 2 marks too lean from the factory. With the richer setting the post-cool down binding did not seem as tight. I'm going to see if the shaking from cranking the engine is enough to knock it loose now that it is adjusted properly. If not, I'll go one mark richer and then see. I also plan to call Onan.
