Dash Air
I have a 2010 gasser BayStar and I'm only getting air coming through the defrost vents. I have the Evans Tempcon system. I have taken it to a local reputable garage and after $500 + trying this and that they have not a clue. Has anyone had this experience. I live in Bedford, VA and I can't even find a service center who knows the system. Any advise would be appreciated.1.7KViews0likes6CommentsOnan 5500 DIY Choke Pulloff
I need to replace the choke pulloff diaphragm on my Onan 5500 gen set. Has anyone ever done this and can you assist with advise. I am having the darndest time getting the two screws off that hold it in place. Tight place. Can't find any youtube help on this.1.3KViews0likes2CommentsOnan gen sputters
My Cummins Onan QG 5500 gen slightly sputters after cold start for about 2 minutes and then runs like a charm. I've changed plugs, fuel filter, oil, and air filter. Altitude setting is correct. I've been trying Seafoam and doesn't seem to make a difference. It has about 1000 hours. Can someone give me an idea of what may be going on before I try a new carburator. Many thanks.1.4KViews0likes3CommentsRe: House Battery Maintenance

I'm not sure what else I could add. My choice has always been the BatteryMinder line because it pulses the battery to ensure sulfation doesn't ruin the battery. I don't remember seeing anything about the Battery Tender information making such a claim. I keep one on my riding mower year around with great results. I know the battery is good when I open the shed and see it flashing - means the battery is fully charged and it's switched to float/maintenance mode. I keep one on the chassis battery for my MH after I found out it would lose it's charge when plugged in. Only the alternator put something back in it. The inverter only keeps the house battery bank charged. When I head out of town the day after Christmas, the batteries for my cars are all connected to BatteryMinders and are ready to go when I get back 3 months later. When I left them in the cars, they wouldn't even light the dome lights when I got back - even with a cheapo Harbor Freight solar panel plugged into the cigarette lighter - but they did get enough sun to warp the heck out of them. Thanks again.....I've been finding mixed reviews about the Battery Tender Jr which I have already ordered. I'm going to try it on my coach batteries this winter. Many say it will "maintain" the charge on both batteries. That's what I want. Anything that will prolong the life of the batteries. The Interstates I had lasted under 3 years. Tired of that.729Views0likes0CommentsRe: House Battery Maintenance
