Ron,
You tried to tell me! But I did not listen!
From now on, when Ron talks I will try to pay closer attention.
This morning, I cranked the genny and just happened to look a few minutes later and found high temperature on the gauge. I went outside and observed a broken belt. While I was looking at the genny, it shut down.
It took me visiting 5 parts places to find the correct belt.
So....don't be like Bill and not have checked your radiator belt on your genny. Also don't be like Bill and not have a spare with you.
The belt looked super good from the outside. It still had its part numbers clearly visible. The rubber looked fine. But....If I had looked closely, I would have seen missing teeth in the belt. The store only had one belt of the correct size, but rest assured I will get another one and will keep with the coach.
Ron tried to tell us...but I for one did not listen. My bad!
Bill
