My 2004 E/450 Minnie Winnie has the infamous "Onan Carb Clog". DANG!
First problem: Getting a new one is near impossible. I've been waiting weeks for a back ordered one to arrive at my fixit shop.
Second problem: He want's the astronomical sum of $992.00 for the carb and installation!
So, after doing the usual online snooping, I find out a few things. Ebay has replacements for $35, but apparently, they are junk and not worthy of the task compared to the $395 OEM Cummins part. Sumpin' is fishy in Denmark!
I've watched sever Utubes about cleaning stuck carbs, with SeaFoam(?) etc, etc.(see:
)
I've watched Utubes about replacing them with the new OEM carb.
So, now I'm thinking....maybe this IS a DIY project after all, and I can avoid this monster repair bill.
Anyone with direct experience on these things? My inclination is to pull the whole thing out and rebuild the entire generator to new condition, or alternately, replace it without something more reliable.
Thoughts?
