Wow! This thread has lived a while. Mr. Mopar, we camp from time to time at the Cove. Perhaps we'll see you there sometime?
I just today went to start getting my MH ready for the summer. My alt gauge is in the D area... decharge? Alt not working? I'll follow some advice I saw on another post to trouble shoot that one.
I've replaced my thermoquad with the Edl-1905. One problem that came up is it now runs rich (625 to a 795 cfm) Wonder if adding an aftermarket air cleaner, open all the way around would help? Also considered putting a hose on my current snorkled air cleaner to draw fresh air from the grill but there isn't much room to run the hose.
Another problem with the new carb. is the fuel intake is in rear of the carberator (vs. front as is on TQ) and now I'm experiencing vapor lock! I have to reroute the fuel line away from heat to see if this helps. I have a electronic pump towards the tank and the mechanical and still have the VL...
Today I took all the information on my Onan 4 so I could tune it up. It has 1200 plus hours on it and runs rough.
I'm still debating weather or not to add headers. I've already put new exhaust on it... big stuff dumping out before the wheel. It's a bit louder but I'm a bit of a motorhead and like the sound:>
My grey water tank seems to ooze when it's about 3/4 full... it's made of some kind of plastic and I can see the stress cracks all along it. Anyone ever replaced the tanks before? If so, where do you get them?
One last thing is we're going to replace the rug in the bathroom with tile. Ours has a tub and the kids splash around, get the rug wet and it makes the whole coach smell musty.
That's all for now.
