It is in the back of the motorhome, btw (winnebago class A) with it's own muffler (like that's gonna help me! :))

[MistyCA]

Goodnight, Nan! See you tomorrow! :)

[Jen]

There are two good drain holes underneath. What about the spark plugs? there are two of those. And should I cover the carburetor? Ohhhhh....I sure did make work for myself! :) LOLOL!

[Light Speed]

Hi Jen!...I'm enjoying Sunday..how bout you?

[Mr_Magoo]

Misty,

Spray the entire area with Engine Degreaser, then hose it off after a few minutes. Park the RV so that compartment is in the sun to dry completely before starting it again.

NOTE: Be sure no water gets inside the generator engine! AND check the oil level in the Gen.

[MistyCA]

You are a very good dancer! Jen.....find a good slow one for me and the starman! :)))

[Mr_Magoo]

Yes, Put a bag over the carb. (knew I forgot to say sumthin' important)

[HiJinx]

You've answered your own questions!
Cover the spark plugs, carbeurator, and air filter...zip-lock bags should work...then just hose the heck out of it!

Does that sound about right, RA?

[Jen]

A Skwerl!!!!! Great! I need more ingredients for my Bake Shop's Skwerl Souffle! Tom and his kitty katz ate all the souffles I baked today!

[MistyCA]

I do I make sure no water gets in the engine??? There are vents and holes all over the place? OK...I need to go look at the diagram again so I know what everything is! :) BRB. :)

[MistyCA]

Mr. Magoo, just for reference, it is an Onan 4.0 generator.

Sounds great except I would use a degreaser (spray can of the stuff will work fine). Not too worried about the plugs. Once they dry they should be fine. Just wipe them off good to ensure the degreaser is off them completely. Not a dif job, just a pain. But on the bright side, the generator will be clean :-)

[RadioAstronomer]

I am ready :-)

[Jen]

By special request. This is one of my favorites.

To avoid getting water inside would it be like when you steam clean a car engine and cover the plugs and carburetor?

[Mr_Magoo]

If you put a Baggie over the carb. with a rubber band to hold it, and make sure the oil cap is on tight you should keep the water out of the engine sise of it.

The generator side has air vent holes all over. That should not be a problem as long as you let it dry all the way before starting it. That is why I said to park it so the sun can hit it.

[Mr_Magoo]

Yup. I have used the engine degreaser made by Gunk many times. It is a spray can stuff that works great. Spray it on and hose it off after 15 minutes.

[MistyCA]

OK....there are also things like the on/off switch and fuses. That area was also drenched but I have pretty much cleaned it off with towels. There are also things like brushes in the generator.

[MistyCA]

Thank you, Jen. Starman will dance my pains away! :)
