Re: Generac Starter Motor
Proper diagnosis should be done to determine if it's actually the starter and not some other component such as the starter relay or the circuit board. It's been my experience that there are more circuit board failures than starter motor failures. If the circuit board isn't working properly, the starter won't work.

All you will get is vapor out the top of the tank. Correct. If the large tank has a "wet" valve and hose that draws liquid propane from near the bottom of the large tank, the small tanks can be filled with liquid propane by slowly venting the vapor off the small tank. If no "wet" valve on the large tank, no liquid will be transferred, only vapor. Most residential type LP tanks draw only vapor from the top of the tank and are not equipped with a "wet" valve. Some farm tanks are equipped with a "wet" valve in order to fill LP gas fueled tractor fuel tanks. When I returned a 250-gallon lease LP gas tank, our locally owned LP gas dealer gave me credit for the remaining fuel in the tank.:) Bill464Views0likes0CommentsRe: Generac Starter Motor

So far I haven't had to replace the starter, but it's probably not replaceable from inside the compartment. Almost all service work done to a Generac Impact generator requires removal from the camper except for spark plug replacement, an engine oil and filter change, or an air filter replacement. I've had mine out several times for various repairs and it isn't that difficult, but a bit time consuming. It is removed by lowering from the bottom of the compartment after disconnecting the electrical and the LP gas connections. Lowering the generator from the camper is easier with a helper to steady and guide the generator when lowering it to the shop floor. A hydraulic floor jack is a good tool for this purpose and a transmission jack is even better. Bill311Views0likes0Comments
