Subject: In need of a rebuit generator Author: Norman Lampron [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07/ 24/ 02, 1:35pm We own a 1978 35' FC with an Onan 12.5 KW gas. It stopped working and we took it to the Onan Dealer. They checked it out and told us that the crank shaft was bad and it would not be cost effective to replace it. The hour meter stopped at 4000 hours many years ago. We live in Southern Alabama and need any advice as to whom we cold go to to get a rebuit gas generator. Do we need a 12.5KW? I know they no longer make this size in gas. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: In need of a rebuit generator Author: Eric Johnson [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08/ 2/ 02, 3:44am Sorry about the death of your generator. We replaced our 7.5 kw LPG Onan in our 1984 35FC with an 8.0 KW Kubota diesel powered unit from Powertech in Florida two years ago and have had great service from it. Powertech is the current supplier of generators for new Blue Birds. The 8 KW unit comes in a sound dampening enclosure which makes it much quieter than the old unit. It was the largest unit Powertech makes that would fit in our compartment. We have two roof air conditioners rather than three which keeps us plenty cool. We have always had plenty of power to run anything we want. Powertech number is 352 365 2777. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
