Generator Air Bag

[grantracy]

It looks like one of the air bags for my genset is punctured. Thinking of replacing it myself. Anybody out there ever do this/know whats involved?

So, does this mean that your generator has the "LEANS"? This is Jon's area of expertise and I'll bet next months salary that he will chime!!

John: I bought the replacement part but was wondering how involved the installation is.

Jon,

You chimed in...I am off the hook. A seminar on Generator Leans is in order...Spearefish? I will be willing to give a talk on Farting up your Starleys...

Gran,

If its similar to my installation it is a simple matter of jacking up the generator to provide clearance for the removal and replacement and then lowering it back down on the air bag.

I would not jack under the oil pan without a big block to distribute the load so the oil pan does not get damaged.

When you get done John will inflate them with N for you.

Jon,

To be perfectly correct that is N2 up and cause they come in pairs.....

thanks John..seemed like it should be simple...however I thought the same thing when I purged the genset cooling system.
