Forum: Generators
- Replies (6)

My generator would require several attempts to start after sitting for a day or more. It would start and stutter, start and stutter, and finally catch. I changed all filters with no change in the behavior. Gordon helped me wire the pump so I could prime it from inside switches. That helped for a while, but the hard to start was getting worse with time. It changed from a nuisance to a situation where I could imagine it not starting at all. 

It was pretty evident that it was not maintaining fuel pressure. I suspected that the pump was allowing the pressure to leak away when the generator sat for any length of time.

It took a call to Carter to confirm a new part number for the old pump, but here is the new Carter pump number .

I am happy to say that after sitting for week, the genset started with the first touch of the switch.

I thought I had posted this one but after our new member @"Retired Navy Chief" made a post about it and @"JohnGalt" reminded me, I don't find evidence that I posted this one.  Thanks for the nudge.

Hi, I am eyeing number 721and would like to know if anyone has any history on this coach.  Is there a person that does Pre Delivery Inspections on Newells?  Thanks in advance.  David

Hello,
My wonderful wife and I are ready to get back to coach owning. We had an Alpine 38 from 200-06 but sold it to remodel our house. We were homeschooling in those days and traveled the country in summer and skiing in winters. We have pined over Newells since we saw one at a RV park in 2000 when we were taking a weekend RV driving instruction course. The one shortfall of our dear Alpine was that below 40 degrees it struggled, one memorable drive to CO in 10 degrees - not including the wind chill driving at 65+ - was tough sledding, no pun intended. It did okay after we put a space heater down below and added a oil filled radiator to supplement the forced air furnace.
Now we want a Coach for all seasons, so what else but a Newell. We intend to buy a used one  in the 2008-2010 range later this year and then do a couple of local (CA) shakedown ski trips then leave asap after Christmas for 4 months of snow chasing though the Rockies meeting and making friends along the way hopefully.
We welcome any and all advice, counsel, tips, tricks, places to stay/park that anyone would be kind enough to share, especially from fellow skiers who have already blazed the ski trail ahead of us.
To the next adventure!
Steve and Denise

This has the potential to benefit Newell owners.  Biggest downside to many will be the appearance since it may not fit under the high hats and front/tag hub covers.

About three weeks ago, I had just dumped the waste tank.  When I closed the valve, the "open" indicator stayed lit.  I talked to a tech at the factory who said there is a way that could happen.  The valve seemed to continue to open and close properly even with the "open" indicator lit all the time.  We lived with this condition for the past three weeks.

A couple of days ago, I dumped the tank, closed the valve, just like normal.  That evening we both took showers before going to bed.  The waste tank level was at least at 25% to 30%.  The next morning, the tank level read ZERO.   Upon investigation, when the valve is closed, I can still see a slight flow in the clear plastic piece that is part of the valve assembly that fits into the sewer drain.  In other words, THE VALVE IS LEAKING EVEN WHEN IT SUPPOSEDLY HAS BEEN CLOSED.  We've tried filling the tank to 75% multiple times, then draining.  Once I closed and then opened the valve again 3 OR 4 TIMES during the dumping process.  If there is something stuck in the valve that is keeping it from closing all the way, I've tried everything I can think of to break it loose.  It now makes me wonder if the "open" indicator is actually correct.

I don't even know where the dump valve is located on my coach but plan to call one of the service techs at Newell tomorrow to see what they say.  We actually live in Oklahoma 210 miles from the factory, however, we are in Las Vegas and still not planning to return for a few weeks.  Would like to find a way to resolve this.

Any similar experiences or ideas from the Guru's?
