I manage to pull the generator out today after extracting the ram pin. The control box is out. If you all remember my issue was the generator not always starting from the interior switches. It would crank but not start. I replaced the solenoid but found it would not pull itself in when cranking. My only recourse was to get the generator out and manually hold the fuel solenoid while using the start switch at the genset. Today I removed the control box and the interior is all sooty. Not sure where or what it is other than is smells like burnt electronics. Should I send this to Martin and have them go over it or should I just swap out all the relays and cross my fingers? The two circular harness connectors were loose too. I don't know how reliable those can be. Both ends did have some form of grease in them so corrosion is not an issue as the contacts appeared clean. And finally the exhaust pipe was unsupported at the rear air bag mounting bracket. I also do not see any packing that's supposed to be in there?
