Depends on the situation I guess. I recall many years ago riding my water cooled Honda CH150 in heavy traffic near Nellis AFB and seeing more than one Harley rider pulled over due to over temperature warnings.

Finally installed hard start capacitors....what a difference. Took about 10 minutes per ac unit. I am old and sleep that's why they call me grandpa. Before while using generator starting ac units created quite burden to generator it's like turning on a fan.

Ain't we all!

I need to look into these capacitors for my moho. I have a Dometic 15.5k on mine, only have the one unit but the hard start capacitor wouldn't hurt.

Amazing difference in start up ease. Well worth the $27 must be easier on the whole system

Since my last post I have changed the oil in my Onan. The manual says 15w-40, which to me says diesel oil. That's what went in. Runs fine. I did learn that Wix filter didn't work; couldn't get the threads started. Onan filter spun right on.
