Maintenance:
- Use a good heavy gear lube in your transmission. Make sure the lube is GL-4 rated, GL-5 lubricants can be corrosive to bearings in the transmission. We have had good luck with Sta-Lube 140W GL-4 lube. You can get it from NAPA in 1 gallon containers for about $15. Part # is SL24238.
- Grease your bearings often. A few pumps of grease can keep you from having to change a bearing and could even save a trip from disaster!
- Change your engine oil.
- Check your spark plugs before each run. Onan reccomends your plugs be gapped at 0.025".
- Battery not working? Check that alternator! If your car is running and not making 12.5 volts or more, your alternator is not charging!
- Check your wheels for thickness and profile, you would be amazed at what a difference new wheels make.
