  1. Well the problem is solved! The breaker on the gen. had two legs one part obviously bad hence my original lack of power to the rear a/c. The breaker obviously went totally bad when I was dealing with the lack of power so that created the no power at all issue. I installed a new breaker this morning and what do you know we have power! All 120v items are working fine with more that one hour of running every appliance simultaneously. Only cost $100, much less than I was anticipating Rich thanks so much for the help, these forums are worth real money.
  2. Rich, The generator is a 7500 quiet diesel model no. hdkaj 11451d with only 610 hours. I have owned the unit for 18 months and have been religious about exercising the gen. because it only had 400 hours on it when I bought the Eagle. The issue with the circuit breaker was that it would just not reset and actually a couple of times before it took a couple of try's before it would re-set. I removed the CB this morning, the toggle on the breaker has no resistance and has something rattling inside so I have ordered a new one, which should be here tomorrow. Hopefully this will solve this issue. I did check the 25 amp fuse behind the panel and it was ok. I did see a another smaller fuse holder in the wiring behind the circuit breaker but have not checked it yet. As for as the original problem of missing power on one leg you mention brushes wearing out, is this something that I can inspect/check on my own or will it require dealer service? Thanks in advance
  3. 7500 onan quiet diesel in a '98 American Eagle. My original problem was that the rear A/C was not working on the generator, but was working on shore power. I tested the input at the automatic transfer switch and found power coming in on leg 2 but not leg 1 with gen. running. Then while the gen. was running I turned the 35amp circuit breaker at the gen. off and now it will not reset! Do I have just a bad CB on the gen or is that a sign of other problems? The gen. motor starts and runs fine with no issues. I thought I read somewhere that if an Onan was not producing electricity it would shut down, is that true? Problem solved in #4 post
