genset question
Yahoo Message Number: 135505
Hi people...I have another general consensus question for all of you.

The genset frame, or 'sled' was impacted during the accident. The repair people straightened the bent corner, but the gennie is pretty 'tilted'...probably over an inch--inch and a half--lower at the rear.

My question is, is this common with other LD genset mountings? I would appreciate some feed back as to whether or not they are safely operational with this much of a slope to the mounting?

 The noticeable tilt of the Emerald genset is normal. It is tilted to allow the oil to drain to a low spot where the engine's oil pump inlet picks it up.
The newer Microquiets are not tilted as much, I guess because they do not have oil pumps, using instead an oil slinger.
