Idlebuster

Well, the Idlebuster has been installed but problems have developed. First a pinched wire in the control box chafed through the insulation and created a dead short that would not allow the generator to start. A call to the installer pointed me to the fuse that was blowing, and I traced it back to the damaged wire. That being fixed, the generator started and ran perfectly. However, there is a coolant leak from the unit, and a small fuel leak in one of the connections that comes from the fuel tank through the roof of the truck. Since the unit was built in Florida, the coolant leak wasn't caught by the installer since it did not show up at the shop. It's possible that a hose connection vibrated loose on the trip home. The fuel leak is just a drip but it's in the cargo bay and the connector looks damaged by the installer.

So, back to Monroe I go on Monday to have the problems corrected. I am going to complain to the head office in FL to try and get back the day's lost revenue and the fuel it takes to make the trip.
