10kw Onan QD light overhaul
I am likely to purchase a used motorhome with a nice looking Onan with 4000 hours on it, oil changed every 200. 57K on a 2005 tag axle, lot of weekend gen running at the races.
I know this gen is capable of at least 10k hours before a major overhaul, but that isn't likely to happen unless I do some serious maintenance to it. I would appreciate any advice on what to do with this gen to make sure it lasts its full life.
On my check list are:
head removed and carbon cleaned out
check for leaks, clean up gen area
new waterpump and belts, keep old for spares
new coolant, maybe a new coolant tank cap
Test and confirm correct voltage
oil, filter, normal maintenance
what am I missing? I want to make this unit as reliable as possible.
thanks very much. drew
