paulhey90 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I have a 1983 Toyota Huntsman. I am slowly work on all the systems etc. I have a built-in Dometic DMC - 45 4000 watt Generator in it. Don't know if the rig came with that Gen or was installed after market. I had my mechanic work on it and the starter turns it over just fine but it has no spark to start it. We checked fuses, fuel everything we could think of. Even wondered if it had a "kill" switch somewhere. Wondered if anyone had experience with this model. Any suggestions would be appreciated. It's built in and looks like its original. Starting switch and meter in the cabin works great. A shame to yank it out and replace if it's just a minor problem. Thanks.

linda s Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I'd snap this up quick. Amazed I even found one for a generator so old. Well worth the 15 bucks https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dometic-Travel-Power-Generator-Operation-repair-service-manual-Model-DMC-45-/283088299121 Give your mechanic something to go by Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of references on this site from people who had them. Looks like they are physically smaller than my 2.5 Kohler but a little heavier Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhey90 Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Hi Linda. Thanks for the reply. Can you direct me to the references from the people who had the same Gen as mine? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhey90 Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Thanks Derek from (The Great White) North for your reply. It would tend to make me think that this DMC - 45 was an aftermarket unit. I might have to pull it to work on it further. It's an '83 so who knows what has happened to this Toy since birth. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
