Ultimately he did not know where to source the same springs, but he did provide an educated guess as to which springs to use.Re: 2007 Desert Fox 24AS Ramp HingeThanks!!Re: 2007 Desert Fox 24AS Ramp HingeUnsuccessfully trying to upload pictures lol.2007 Desert Fox 24AS Ramp HingeI have a broken hinge on the ramp door of my 2007 Desert Fox 24AS which I bought new in 2009. I've contacted Northwood and they were of no help identifying the parts I need. I've contacted Lippert and they say that they need information from the label on the frame of my ramp door. I've checked mine and a friend's 24AS and neither have a label. I would like to replace the entire assembly but I'm not sure which springs??????? Ineed. I have 4 springs with 15 coils each. Has anyone dealt with this before? Re: Generator keeps shutting off wolverine68 wrote: wolverine68 wrote: wolverine68 wrote: bounder39zman wrote: deal with this all the time.

Usually displays fault code 36, but have seen other fault codes if control board is problem. There is third condition that will cause these symptoms, that being hot air is being recirculating to air intake and gen temperature in housing is getting so hot that gas is boiling in fuel line and carb, causing shut down. This problem seems to be much more common last couple years, and I can't prove it, but I think fuel boiling point is lower than used to be with the crappy fuel we have to use these days That sounds like a great "next step" in trouble shooting. Thanks! Thanks Bounder39zman. You nailed it. Minimal fuel in float bowl after it shut down. Compared it to a properly filled bowl after restart and it only had about 1/10 of the amount as normal. Now I just have to find a reasonably priced fuel pump lol. Replaced the fuel pump and it fired right up. I realized that I was still on shore line so I shut it down after about 10 seconds and it would not start after.It would not even fire; just crank. I checked for fuel at the carb-good, spark-good. I used some starting fluid in the air inlet and it would run on that so I pulled the carb and inspected and blew out all the passages, reinstalled and still no go. Today I disconnected the wire leading to the solenoid on the bottom of the carb and using a jumper wire I could get it to run but only for about 1 second at a time. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Disregard. I removed the stating solenoid and mother board, dielectric greased all the connections, put it back together and it ran as good as new. I will newer understand how it ran for a good 10 seconds before it decided to give me grief.Thanks for all your help gentlemen!Re: Generator keeps shutting off wolverine68 wrote: wolverine68 wrote: bounder39zman wrote: deal with this all the time.

If so, there's a trouble code stored and should be retrieved and decoded to reveal the reason the generator is stopping. Has the OP ever revealed the model of the generator vintage so that an educated answer can be given? If you are referring to my situation, see my post above: "This is the problem with my adding to an existing thread lol. I'm not sure who the questions are for. My genny is an Onan 4000, 4KY spec K. No low oil level sensor but the oil level is good. Code occasionally show "36" which is "engine shut down without command". I do have fuel and spark after shut down but still won't restart until it cools down. "Re: Generator keeps shutting off lane hog wrote: Running for 30 mins and shutting off is a classic symptom of an Onan fuel pump needing to be replaced due to age. If you're going to try it, replace the filter at the same time because it's a bit of work to get access to both, but not difficult if you have the tools and can follow instructions... Plenty of YouTube videos explaining how to swap the pump. Watch a few, and you'll be fine. I was thinking fuel pump as well as it seemed like a fuel starvation issue when it was shutting down but I did pull the fuel line at the carb and had fuel flow after shutdown and after reconnecting the fuel line, the unit still would not start. Seems like I can either wait to see if it gets worse (Less intermittent) or start throwing parts at it.
