We are really going to have fun now. Fin and Mary arrived this afternoon. He gave me the "scoop" on winning the GMC Pinewood Derby.

Dan-
Would you try to get a simple wiring diagram for that switch.
It would require cutting and/or jumpering a couple of circuits.
I like the idea!.
Wish we were out there with you guys.

You must have met Jerry. Great Guy. He Has a big Fifth wheel, however he may have brought his class C. He told me to run it dry too. I did that after I got it home, and I have been doing that with my '76 85HP Johnson Outboard since the '80's and that boat never has needed any carb or engine work to date except a solenoid. I figured everyone already did that, but I guess not? Works for lawnmowers too.
Hope the weather permits us to visit this weekend...

Yea, Jerry. I sent you a couple of private emails yesterday, Chris. I met him out here last year but did not know he fooled with Onans. He would like to have some old ones to tinker with. He laughed about Chris' unit because he lost money on it. I told him Chris got a real deal on it and he laughed.
Jim, Gene can make a drawing of the on/off/run switch. You should have come out. So far, weather has been great. Windy this morning.
