Re: Trouble fueling
When I had this problem on my 2013 Chevy pick up I went to the dealer since it was under warranty. The gas canister with the charcoal filter was plugged cleaned it out and now no problems/ If the filter plugs it causes back pressure in the gas tank and trips the pump.397Views0likes0Comments- 296Views0likes0Comments
FYI Generators
Just an FYI for some with problems with there Genny. In the last month Ive bought a new to me RV a 30ft 1999 Sea Breeze with 60000 miles on it. Everything worked the previous owners had everything checked out all service work everything tested all oils changed Perfect !! A week after getting the RV wife cleaning up inside so she was running the genny and the air. She worked both saturday and sunday cleaning all the little things that women can find to clean. Both days she ran the air and the genny. Monday she goes out and starts the genny. Genny start right up but is putting out nothing. I test as little as I know. Trip breakers replace the 1 fuse. Nothing helps. I come on RV.net.LOTS and lots of people trying to walk me through what to do. All is either above my working knowledge or I dont have the equipment. (Thanks Everyone!) Everyone one warns me DONT go to a RV dealer to get repaired most say they will RAPE up. I went to Paul Evert in Fresno Ca. No choice couldnt find anyone else that would work on RV Gens... Evert wants 125.00 to tell me whats wrong with the gen and then repairs. I agree with the 125.00 they keep the RV a week because they are sooo backed up. A week later they call me and tell me they need to remove the gen to bench test and its an additional 350.00. Plus whatever repairs. I asked what the original 125.00 was for if they where going to the price to an additional 350.00 so now it would be 425.00 to diagnose whats wrong. The sales man told me with a gen this old and with this few hours (184) he would suggest I buy a new gen instead. He said when they are this old and this low hrs they usually 86 them for new. I told Paul Evert to wrap it up and Id take it home with me. I had a guy I work with tell me of a place that works on gens and that he really liked the guy. Said at his previous job they had used this guy on several of there gens and he always came through! The place is Bishop Equipment the guys name is Randy Bishop he is the owner. Called him on monday took the RV in on thursday. He called me and told me it was ready on thursday afternoon at 330. Bad regulator. 245.00 When I got home I called Paul Evert. Let the know it was a regulator and that the mechanic didnt have to pull the gen out to bench test it he did it from the ground and had it ready for me in less that 3 hrs at 245.00 That I would spread the word what a worthless bunch of mechanics they have.. By the way Bishops garage only works on Gens he is certified in all makes and models. So if your gen needs work and your in this area I highly recommend Bishop Equipment for ALL your Gen needs. Just thought someone here would like to know..2.1KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Generator runs but no power?
Update I gave my RV to Paul Evert RV in Fresno to find out what was going on why the Gen stopped making electricity. They charged me 125.00 to find out what was wrong and then we would go from there. They called me a few days later to tell me it would be an additional 325.00 to pull the gen and finish the diagnostics. I asked them why it cost me the 125.00 if they couldnt do it for the original quote and how do I know if you wont just ask for more to complete just a quote? Never mind I told them wrap it back up I'd come and get it. They told me it would be ready the next day. I went in to get it and asked again what was the 125.00 diagnostic charge if I had to add 325.00 to complete. they said they couldnt get to everything and that they had to now bench test the gen and that they would probably just advise to replace the gen since it was a 1999 and had only 184hrs on it. The reasoning was that whoever owned it before me didnt run the gen 30 minutes a moth to have only 184 hrs. None of this makes sense to me? Anyone care to advise? Thanks!494Views0likes0CommentsRe: Generator runs but no power?
Thanks all for the advise! Ive given up and taking it in to Paul Evert RV and let them look at it. With any luck I caught them at the right time to go easy on the pocket book :-} Ill post when they figure out what the problem is. Again thanks for all the help494Views0likes0CommentsRe: Generator runs but no power?
Sorry that sounds way over my ability's. Heard people doing this but they knew what they where looking at when they started. I can rebuild the engine but know nothing when it comes to electricity other than last time I tried I got shocked.. 1 time was enough :-} But thanks for the Idea Ill pass it on to a shop...495Views0likes0Comments
