After a topic that included talk of RUM on the forum last night.

I've got this hankering for "Brer Rabbit Pure Ribbon Cane Syrup" man I miss that stuff.

Living here in the North West, we just don't get any ribbon cane syrup. Does anyone from this form, eat or know where some that stuff is.

I'm a willing buyer.

Lloyd

Open kettle pure cane syrup, from the sugar cane country, down here in Louisiana,
Steen's has been in business since early 1900s. Made in Abbeville, about 1.5 hours away from me,
it's best I've ever tasted. My mom mixed it with peanut butter for our sandwiches!!!
My dad was born and raised there.
     A link to a vendor below might interest you.

 Thanks Henry,
    I found my Onan 2004 HDKAG up in Georgia. It was a large RV "pullout" for upgrading. 1580 hours. V1305 Kubota. The genset had intermttent problems with starting, when I got it. I traced electrical sytem out. Finally found that the large wiring harness "twist connector" had 3 broken pins. Probably Vibration?
    I removed the connector, hardwired/soldered the harness, doing away with the connector. No more problems. But, now I have an extra NOS solenoid, pc board, and relays. lol.
    My son's friend welded the cart. I found the meter box on eBay, from the guy in Georgia. Works great also. The tanks, fuel filter setup, and muffler, all came from tractor supply. 30 gallon capacity. I painted it all to match. Ordered decals from eBayer. Attached photos show how the project progressed...

The unit runs great, now.

Hi Rajun Cajun,

Where did you get those fuel consumption numbers.
At half load it seems a little low.

Here are the numbers I have.
Kubota D1305 fuel use:
50% Load Gal/Hr.--.7
75% Load Gal/Hr.--.9
100% Load Gal/Hr.--1.1

These numbers are still very good for The D1305.
I still like to see diesel gensets ran at 60% or more. They are more effecent and will live a better life when loaded. (especialy in cold weather)

The numbers I quoted in my earlier post were for a Kubota V2403. Getting forgetful these day's

Henry

Has been sitting since at least 2008, wouldn't start until I bled the fuel system both via manually running the fuel pump as well as all the fuel line connectors. After that ran smooth and quiet but I didn't have the chance to test it under load.
Comes with an APC transfer switch which I don't need, me being off-grid. Also comes with remote start and gauges and manuals.
It's powered by a Kubota model D1305, 4 cylinder, 18.6 HP, diesel fueled, liquid cooled engine with electric start.
Hour meter says 60 hours, oil looks like it just came out of the can.

They are asking $2200
Thanks!

Good deal. Change the oil and filter. Run it under a load. I've found 40% or more works fine on my 2004 RV-pullout. It's a great genset.
