Lots of good advice. When you pull a spark plug out to see if it is wet with gas clean it and hold it against a ground and see if it sparks when you crank it. Doing a good basic tune up would go a long way to eliminating problems. Plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Does it still have points? I think the last year was 1972. When you set the timing I would run at least 10* before TDC. You all so have a project ahead of you replacing all the hoses in there. Bill

The dog said it's good that's all YOU need. You are getting of the thread of this post and the FMCA Forum Moderator will get you. Bill

Not according to my computer. Bill

If you add that kind of info to your signature you don't have to remember to add it every time. Bill

Leaving the world of the golden microphone for the life of a RV teck? Bill

Welcome to the forum. Call the local Freightliner shop and ask them. If they don't do it they will know someone that does. I would start with someplace like Lou Bachrodt Freightliner. https://www.freightlinermiami.com/ Let us know what you find out. Bill

I agree with Brett if you are going with the Battleborn they would be who I talk to about charging. You will also want to tell them what you have for a start battery because you will need to charge it to. Bill

Yep, be glad you aren't paying taxes on the current new replacement King Aire.

But what if your covers were white? Don't blame me it is the shelter in place order. Bill

Yes, that is the one, Totally corona free!!! https://www.pplmotorhomes.com/used-rvs-for-sale/diesel-motorhomes/2003-fleetwood-bounder_rv-44575 Seriously I would be looking at a used engine from a salvage yard. There are lots of them out there. Bill

The difference is so small 5.9, 4.02 bore X 4.72 stroke versus 6.7, 4.21bore x 4.88 stroke. You know herman, I can get the OP a good running 5.9 already installed and tested for $30,000 and will throw in a whole coach ready to roll and a full tank of diesel and propane. Bill

Some of the engines are rebuilt for $6500. Have you called any of the local salvage yards? I had always planned to go back with a 6.7 if I had to replace my 5.9. Bill

Well lets hope things calm down soon. Maybe 6 State? Bill

I considered something like that. I did consider the vibration but it is pretty tight The types I used are fairly robust. I am thinking about making a bracket to mount it off the ladder. Bill

Look at this.

Much appreciated and I may take you up on it if I can't find any handy. It was mostly because I was to lazy to go in the shead and look. Bill

Yes, I know about the black ones but didn't have any handey. These will last for a while and I may go to some kind of ladder bracket. Bill

With some extra time on my hands I finally installed/moved my FMCA egg. Bill

Joe I was basing my statement on this. If I remember on my Bounder (Fleetwood) the fresh air doors are right over the draine (there is no filter) and if the OP isn't getting proper air flow at the inside vents it would indicate the flopper doors arn't working right. One of those duckbill drains might help but I don't know if he had one originally. Bill

I would check and see if the flopper doors are operating correctly. Bill

I haven't seen many Blue Bonnet's around hear, my patch has already faded. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Don't be a stranger. Bill

I don't doubt they have problems. I just can't see them being able to keep it off the forums. Did you know you can get free home delivery when you buy a RV from them? You can do it all over the phone. You never see it till they deliver it. That isn't my way of buying but. Bill

That does sound cheaper than buying a new coach. Bill

Strange there is no mention of it on the Good Sams forums. http://forums.goodsamclub.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/newest.cfm Yet they were able to keep it quiet from all those on the forums. Bill
