From owner of another 83, welcome. The maintenance can be overwhelming but rewarding. Can't help you on the engine, mine has a Cummins, but there's real gurus on here to help. My generator is a 12.5kw Kohler with a perkins engine. I just put a seal kit in the injector pump and it leaks like a Perkins but otherwise runs well.
