Thank you!!! For me was to clean the switch without having to remover the cover. Thank you thank you!

thanksss

Good job diagnosing and repairing it ! And Great channel name. lol Love that ❤️👍🏻✌🏻

Doesn’t the main water valve have to be after the pressure tanks?

I have this setup on my private well and I need to turn the main water to the house off to work on a water pipe going up to the kitchen I need to know do I need to turn the power to the well off in the fuse box before turning the water off or do I just turn it off and the well it's good to go or do I need to turn the power to the well off thank you?

Thank you so much for the video! I was wondering how I was going to loosen and tighten the hoses. Thanks again!

How long approximately does it take to drain the house?

Very helpful! Thanks for sharing wrench sizes used and the cost!

Awesome video, trying to get a motorhome back on the road after 4 years, the marquis 7000 is very similar

I have a ford southwind I believe, this one looks almost identical! Very cool inside and out!

Where do you add the gas in that? I'm so confused.

You're awesome! I can't tell you how many useless videos I watched or how much money I wasted at the RV center for repairs that went nowhere. I wish I had found your video first! Thanks!

I know it’s been a while but by chance do you know how to remove the bulb I think I know but don’t want to break anything

Nice video sweetie ,I just bought a used RV the onan marquis 5500 needed a starter then I noticed the rod from the carb is discontinued but I can't find ware it connects to ??

THIS IS HOW I FIXED MINE, IN THE CASE OF.... "I CAN'T START MY GENERATOR" It's has been two years since last time it was running, so I started by checking oil level full at gen dipstick (it won't start if low oil because of sensors) then I checked gasoline more than 1\4 tank in the RV (also safety sensors), sparkplug checked for good spark, also checked the manual reset circuit braker ( to be ON) at front motorhome engine compartment for 12v current to the generator to be able to start it, also cleaned the carburetor and even installed new one but same situation, then checked wires and found some has been chewed like gum by rats at the back of starting switch generator panel so I replaced them, at this time the generator started but stay running only by keep pushing the switch on all the time, so then finally I knew it was internal electrical problem from the engine itself, so I took the generator out from my RV to work in my garage, (I did this by myself with some tools and old Mayan tricks ) lol, it's really heavy for one person. I disassemble the unit at my garage and started by removing the cover, then the cooling fan or flywheel unit (it's 2 items in one) until finally I was at the gen rotor and brushes assembly area and this is what I found: one more wire chewed by filthy rats plus the stinky rat nest in the middle of the generator motor coil, I fixed the wire and sanded the commutator copper contacts where the brushes are sitting becouse they were real duty with old urine from the rats, and of course I got rid off the stinky nest, lol!!! Then I assembled everything back together and... bingo it's runing like a champion!!! For this project materials involved was about $60.00 including an aftermarket new carburetor and an harmonic balancer/steering wheel puller (available at any auto parts for $25.00) to pull the aluminum fan out and (flywheel). Just picture this: (Any gasoline engine run smooth if gasoline and DC current aren't interrupted) so following this important principle you'll always find the problem to be fixed. Also if you have a onan microlite 4000 like mine, don't run it for more than a minute without the cover because you'll cook the engine real fast, also keep the eye on the aluminium fan and your fingers after cranking it in case you missing one or two members...just kidding, lol!!! After testing the gen with the help of a gasoline container, a piece of hose and 12v battery, I did put the air cooling assembly back and the rest of components including the cover, then it was ready to be installed at my RV. Once the gen was installed back at my motorhome I started it to be tested for 120v electricity but not before flipping the AC circuit switch (on) at the gen starting control panel (sometimes hiding under or around the panel) to be able to transfer power to my RV GFCI main outlet and electric panel as well, my motorhome it's equipped with GFCI so I reset it and tested for green led light indicating power is ready at my main breakers panel, so I turned my main breaker (on) along the others ones but no power was present at my breaker main switch (faulty main braker) so I flipped it many times, sometimes you can make it work again, mine did work, lol!!! I'm happy because everything works now including the refrigerator for cold drinks and AC for this crazy summer, lol! Later I'll buy me a new main braker, for now this is a resurrected generator story that needed to be shared. If this can help eaven one person to save time and $$$ it'll make me more happy, thanks for reading!

Great explanation! Thanks a lot I had the same problem with our Z6

Got the same RV ad this on! An now having no start problem

Hi, thanks, would you a video on cleaning and adjusting the carburetor?

This was a really great video. If you want to get more fans research P r o m o s m!!!

I have an emerald 3000 (old style) and im having the same issue it started to run really rough I shut it off let it cool down ran like crap died and now just cranks no fire, wire brushed the spark plug off tested the spark shocked myself... it has spark pulled the air filter (still new) so its getting air, i found that the prev owner put a in line filter of the fuel line so i replaced that and noticed there is not fuel filling up the clear in line filter so i used my mouth (TERRIBLE IDEA DO NOT TRY) to sudo syphon some fuel in thinking oh it just needs primed...no change, i can still smell gas from3 days ago. next im gonna get a new multimeter and test the circuit to the pump to see if the pump is getting power if so i would say my pump is bad if not idk where to look next i would guess the control board but anything beyond normal troubleshooting ie electrical or the actual generating parts i have no clue how to approach, i hope it is as simple as your fix and thankyou for pointing out that you didnt pay the 160 for a new pump and that generic ones work too i will go that route if i can.

Thank you so much! I've spent a year trying different things. I could not convince myself that an electric fuel pump could fail (then restart) so predictably. Mine was exactly like yours. After listening to you describe your testing of the cold flow, then the lack of flow when hot... I finally threw a pump at it. New fuel pump was the fix! For the first time since we have owned the rig we now have a generator that will work for more than 20-30 minutes. Thank you so much for sharing your find.

Mine runs then pops the fuse as soon as it starts, do you think I need a pump as well ??

Thank you mine is doing the same thing, hard to find anything about the 5000 marquis

Good info. I wouldn't have thought that tighting it would fix it. But the ground being loose makes sense.

Good and very helpful video. Please Read: I am sure that you would tell me, to call a professional. But, every penny counts when your out of a job. Just recently, I went out to my well house that also houses our water softener. To add salt. To my surprise. I found that there was standing water in in the room. After an hour of moping and searching. I discovered my leak is coming from somewhere inside the metal collar on the bottom of my pressure tank. The ground is wet and theres not much room to move around inside this room. I did some research and found this tank shipping weight is a 103 lbs, and its a 81 Gallon. Model. I am assuming the water inside contrIbutes the weight that I can't even budge it all. Maneuvering is tight. So I don't have a visual of the "leak" I would like to do this repair myself and can do it if its just a case of removing and repairing a failed piece of metal pipe or PVC pipe. Maybe a joint or elbow? The tank was made by AMTROL for the Baron Group LLC It was installed new, 12 year ago. and plumbed to the existing plumbing (est. 25 yrs) Water pressure to house does not seem to be affected. So, based on your expertise and past experiences. How likely could this be the cause for my problem or could there be something else that I am not taking in to account or considering for this leak to occur?

If that valve is in the line before the pressure tank then also be sure to turn the power off to the well or it will be running and making pressure and heat in the well for the entire time you are working on the plumbing.
