Quote from: KensAuto on June 21, 2015, 12:26:05 AMI made time this week to tear the generator down. The bearings and just about everything except the cylinders, looked practically new. The bottoms of both cylinders were full of oil and very little crosshatch remained. what was weird was the oil rings have a huge gap, like 1/8", and both cylinders had the gaps of all of the rings at the bottom....perfectly lined up!Here's proof of the teardown:Been waiting for this oneSTART IT UP!!!!

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Another item checked off the list was upgrading all of the light bulbs to LEDs. There are 26, #921 style bulbs and 4, #1156 style bulbs inside the trailer. I haven't done the outside ones yet.This is what the 2 styles look like:The 1156 style on the left is good for 150 lumens, the 921 style on the right is rated at 250.
Maybe that safety hitch contraption is what you need.
Looks like a good time for a sliding rear window, and excuse,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
