First, the fuel pump needed replaced on the Genset.  A generic Napa 610-1051 proved to work just fine.<br /><br /><center><a href="javascript:openpopup('http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/External/Onan%204k%20BF%20Generator/med_IMG_20110626_201241.jpg',600,450,false);"><img src="http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/External/Onan%204k%20BF%20Generator/med_IMG_20110626_201241.jpg" width="300" height="220" border="0" alt="" /></a></center><br /><br />Dad noticed the main fuel tank was loose, so he pulled the tank, repaired the mounts, replaced the filler hose and re-ran the vent.

I&#039;ve repaired most of the damage, still have to fix some wiring on one of the side cameras.  <br /><br /><center><a href="javascript:openpopup('http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/Miscellaneous/med_a4.jpg',600,450,false);"><img src="http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/Miscellaneous/med_a4.jpg" width="300" height="220" border="0" alt="" /></a></center><br /><br />And the solar equpment is going to get a major upgrade before the end of the year, you&#039;ll want to keep an eye out for that project!]]></content>

		<content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[The generator has been completely rewired, repainted and appears to be running just fine. The wires in the bell of the generator were old, cracked and the spade connectors were not holding anymore.  All of it was replaced.  The generator hole has been insulated, and the generator is bolted in.  Brake line was used for gas line and T&#039;ed into the main fuel tank.  All that remains is the starter wire and its been ordered.<br /><br /><center><a href="javascript:openpopup('http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/External/Onan%204k%20BF%20Generator/med_Genset%20in%20hole2.jpg',599,449,false);"><img src="http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/External/Onan%204k%20BF%20Generator/med_Genset%20in%20hole2.jpg" width="300" height="220" border="0" alt="" /></a></center><br /><br />As for the transfer switch, I already had an IOTA-30 configured for the inverter, I added a second relay to the box and now its a 3 way transfer switch.  Seems to work very well and ended up being a clean looking setup.  <br /><br /><center><a href="javascript:openpopup('http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/Internal/Electrical%20Mods/med_DSCF2576.JPG',599,449,false);"><img src="http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/Internal/Electrical%20Mods/med_DSCF2576.JPG" width="300" height="220" border="0" alt="" /></a></center><br /><br />I quickly figured out the relay was 120v, DC, not AC.  So had to add a diode bridge to make it work.]]></content>

A closer look at the radiator showed it to be heavaly clogged.   <br /><br />Finding a replacement for a M300 Dodge Chassis proved to be rather hard.  So I went with an aluminum Champion cc2375 Pro Series.  Origionally made for a 1967 - 1973 Barracuda, we had to make some minor modifications to the existing radiator brackets.  <br /><br />Also converted the clutch fan over to an electrical fan, using a Hayden 3647 Fan Control.  <br /><br /><center><a href="javascript:openpopup('http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/External/Radiator%20Removal/med_DSCF2305.JPG',599,449,false);"><img src="http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/External/Radiator%20Removal/med_DSCF2305.JPG" width="300" height="220" border="0" alt="" /></a></center><br /><br /><center><a href="javascript:openpopup('http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/External/Radiator%20Removal/med_DSCF2320.JPG',599,449,false);"><img src="http://thenetbytes.com/PIX/qdig-files/converted-images/1972%20Winnebago/External/Radiator%20Removal/med_DSCF2320.JPG" width="300" height="220" border="0" alt="" /></a></center><br />]]></content>
