Some of the Onan three wire gensets use the third wire to stop -- they short it to ground to cut the ignition, if I remember right. Might just need to check the continuity of all the conductors to the genset The other, probably more likely reason is the programming got wiped due to disconnect

I should amend my last post: If the battery owner does this themself, fine. If he is going to pay you to do it, he/she is probably better off just buying new Water Miser caps. Brian -Original Message- From: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.
