Well, I'm getting down to all the little things I want to have taken care of
before my trip to Myrtle Beach and cross country. I will see if I can repair
my bathroom faucet.

Two things I would like to know more about:

1) My Onan 4kw gen. has oil all over it. As far as I can tell it is due mostly
to the oil dipstick not sealing good, plus the fact if you pull the dipstick off
while the gen. is running, oil comes splashing out the dipstick tube like crazy!
Is this normal? Do I just need to get a better dipstick seal or is my crankcase
getting pressurized?

2) My overhead Mark IV a/c unit will put out 60'F on a 90'F day. Is this as
good as it gets or should I have the unit looked at? More R22?

Thanks for all the help, this list has been great.

Nope should not be pressure in the case.

go to my web page and look under generator / oil leaks
