Thanks Accordion, i just wish i had made them a Little smoother,but they aren't too bad in person. I'm wondering if i should pant the bottom side of the cabinet underneath as well, and if i should use the blue or a white for that.

I like the idea of using the metal 90 degree strip as the attachment for upper cabinets to the ceiling. hmmm.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
i did more work on the cabinet. the plywood was bowed so i made things more difficult on myself. the one next to the cabinets wasn't a problem as the cabinets straightened out the bow one it was screwed down, but the stand alone one on the other side was a pain i should have used studs, i would have lost some space but it would be easier. i cant wait to get the fridge and microwave and converter in there.

i finished up the AC wiring to the Converter. the yellow wire is 10AWG 30A AC wiring.the wires going out are 20A computer power cord wires, 12AWG. now i need to clean up the DC fuse box and wiring install the converter box and outlets for it and it should be good to go.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
I cleaned up the generator today some. what i thought was pitting was some kind of traction paint that was sprayed onto the generator at some point in the past. i didn't get it all off but its a good start. the paint came off easy with steel wool, the grime with alcohol. now i can see what I'm working with a little better.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
Just a suggestion--though I imagine you would do this anyway. Change the oil, clean out the float bowl and make sure the float and needle valve are working and before putting the new spark plug in add a couple of tablespoons of either diesel or auto trans fluid to the cylinder, hand crank it 5 or 6 times and wait over night before replacing the plug and trying to start the genny. The oil helps dissolve the rust that forms on the cylinder wall when the engine has sat for a long time. It won't take much rust to catch a ring and break a piston land and you sure don't want that to happen!

Thanks Trunt,
i will definitely clean out the carb and change the oil, air filter plugs etc. the generator has been turned over and was running at the RV surplus place, and a couple more times as they were demonstrating it to me, so any damage that was done probably happened at that time. so i should do a cylinder pressure test. good news is i have seen it produce electricity (incandescent light bulb), and they stated it powered up the whole RV they took it out of with both AC units running. i may need to fix the switch on the genny itself as that isn't working only the remote switch.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
Sounds like you should be OK then--I guess I thought the genny hadn't been running in some years and therefor might have rusted up, glad that wasn't the case.
