Generator airbags

[encantotom]

hi all,

i have the entire front panel off the generator. i took the radiator out to have it repaired and rodded/cleaned. (i picked it up today from the radiator shop).

the sliding mount for the generator has airbags on each of the 4 corners. i originally thought there were airlines to each bag, but in looking closer when the front panel was off i looked and there are no airlines. there are however air zerts on the bottom of each airbag.

that said, how much air should be in them? anyone know? what pressure?

while i had the front panel off, i sanded down the front airscoop and painted it with black enamel. i will try to remount everything tomorrow before i leave for israel on thursday.

i am also changing the cyberdyne coolant sending unit on the generator. mine is reading about 20 degrees too cool and it is cheap enough (16 bucks shipped) to try to see if it fixes it. if not, it will be a gauge.

i also went down to the autobody/paint supply house and picked up 8 feet of the rubber seal that goes around the entire front of the generator compartment to replace the highly compressed one that was on it. it is a round rubber with a U shaped push on channel on the side of the round rubber seal. i also made a new padded seal to go on the bottom of the radiator to seal it into the radiator frame when i put it back in.

later
