Question for the late 90's 400 guys out there:
How the heck do you get to the front end of the generator? I thought the ER on the 400 was an absolute dream until my generator stopped producing AC power (I believe/hope it to be the capacitor). Is there some vodoo trick to get into this area or is it as obscene as it looks?
Yeah, that's one of the exceptions to ease-of-access in a gasser 400DA. I think the back-end is even worse. Have you replaced your generator oil filter yet? Ugh. Fortunately, the genny impeller is easy in the gassers. Almost ideal.
Are your needles moving at all when you switch to gen power? If so, have you tried to apply a steady load like the water heater?
