I am being told a screw was sucked into the head of our generator for a 2012 Forest River Sunseeker. Has anyone heard of that issue before?

generator head is the alternator / dynamo, which almost all are open frame. since it deals with powerful magnetic fields, not hard to imagine a wayward screw being drawn in.
still begs the question, where did this screw come from?
The OP is a new member, first post. A little more info would be helpful.
I think if a screw was sucked into the cylinder head, it would cause major damage.
A small screw stuck to the magnetized generator head could have been picked up almost anywhere. Including the factory.

There is no way that a screw is going past the air filter unless the air filter was off while the generator was running, then the person doing this lost a screw and was succked into the unit.
If the generator was running OK prior to this incident, then there is a mistdry to be solved, who done it.

If the ONAN had the air filter in place, the carb would be the only source of small screws. Pack Rat that I am, I looked at an ONAN Micro (4KY) carb. There are two screws in the choke plate and two in the the throttle plate. I think your carb has three or less screws still in place.
