when I got it , it only had 20 hrs on the gen... so either it broke 24 yrs ago and never got fix'd, or they just didn't use it... could not get it to crank , on the panel or the gen.... so the only way to check it... had to take it out... what I did find was someone that didn't know what they were doing broke the tabs off the fuse holders... that I could have fixed while it was still installed., so I ordered new ones from onan...I call onan and they want 200 to bench start it... might have to go that route, but hate to spend money on it if it just needs to be replaced....gonna see what I can do with it today, but seems to me I figured out that the solenoid was bad.... but forgot as it has been a while since I looked at it.. yesterday I got the water heater,roof ac, and fridge working, today, I worked on the furnace... couldn't get it going, went out side and took off the panel and found the circuit breaker poped on the fan motor... kept poping and what I found was from years of not used...the motor was locked up... so I got my hand in there and got it to spin , re sat the breaker on the motor and she took off,... squealed like a virgin.... but once she lubbed up and got some heat... she quiet'd right down...works like a champ now...so now... the gen...I'll post what I find...

IMO, this rv was a total, the water leaks destroyed it,but... lots of "FREE" labor later... I restrored it... no way could, or would it be worth having a shop do something like this.... but it was a very rare coach that's hard to find,.. and all the tiogas had issues
