Pascal- Mine is not shutting down. It's running fine after a lot of work to get it up to snuff. I now want to check the safety shutdowns to be sure they work. Is there any way to trick the system (like grounding out a wire, which I tried without success) to check to see if they work?

Well, after digging through the service manual I could not find the solution. I'm trying to figure out how to test my shutdowns somehow. I have zero knowledge as to how they work. Maybe someone can spoon feed me. I'm guessing (but haven't tried) that the pop out Fault Reset button can be...

Rob- I have not. Didn't know it was available. I'll check it out. Thanks

I have a 1987 Onan MDL4 generator that I've been trying to test the shutdowns on it. Specifically the low oil pressure, high coolant temp, high exhaust temp shutdowns. I was only able to find a 12V wiring schematic (my generator is 32V) which seems to show each of these sensors as normally open...

Try Wally Miles. Did an excellent job on ours. 727-641-5637

I recently had a new exhaust riser manufactured for my Onan MDL4 generator. I had the old exhaust temperature sensor mount reattached to the new manifold. Now I'm in the hunt for the correct temperature sensor device to attach to the manifold. Does anyone happen to have a part number or...

I’m heading into Gloucester, MA today and thought I’d top off. With all the commercial boats there I’m guessing it’s a good place to purchase fuel. Can anyone recommend a specific fuel dock? Thanks.

Re: Gus’s latest adventure We do have a 63' CPMY now, named Jubilee. Picture taken in Chesapeake City as we were coming north. Here is Gus, Josh and I on the maiden voyage of the Broward.

My 1987 Onan 20kw generator just recently started to leak a little oil. It seems like it is coming out between the engine and the electrical side of the generator, from the wire guard on the bottom. It's not much but it's enough that after running the generator overnight I have to wipe it up...

Can anyone tell me the fuel capacity of the fwd and aft tanks on a 63' CPMY. Asking for a friend. :) Thanks.

I’ve had a difficult time keeping the square fuel filter housing connections from leaking on my Onan generator. No matter how tight I get them they still drip a bit after a while. I’m hoping someone can recommend a replacement filter like a small spin on canister type that I could put in place...

I’ve had my heat exchanger serviced for my MDL4 Onan generator and now it’s time to reinstall. I was given the gaskets that are necessary between the block and the exchange (4 of them), as well as the gasket between the heat exchanger and the riser. The original gasket between the block and the...

I'm removing an old Furuno radar and replacing it with a Garmin. My Garmin chartplotters of course run on 12V. The Garmin radar has a power input range of 10.5-35 VDC. I have a 32V power feed on the flybridge from the removal of the Furuno but I don't have a 12V feed there. I'd like to feed...

I'm pretty certain my port engine alternator is not working. I'd like to verify it's the alternator by testing output directly at the alternator. Can anyone tell me which leads I should be checking to get the 35 ish volts? I'm guessing the leads marked 1 and 2, then move to 1 and 4. Also not...

I have the same model boat and the same exact problem. The difficulty in removing that fitting is that is sits down under the plan of the floor and is surrounded by other fittings that are in the way. I think the only was to get if out is to somehow turn it from above. That won't provide a...
