I’ve got my camera at the lower part of the screen and hard wired into the ignition.View attachment 957136

I have put mine the same position as you have but then thought how do I press the button if I need to?
The button being the protected 3 mins of recording the system won't write over if you want to safeguard an incident on the nextbase dash cams.
Might need to get a long stick

I'm not keen on white wine either.

Love red wine that's my usual tipple , or cider , beer . Don't touch spirits these days.

No spirits since the pink gin at simat de valdigna with the Slovakiain guy.we all had a bad head the next day
He was an interesting character and a good wee day.

For all they cost it makes sense

Feeling flush after the sale.

I wouldn't say flush lol. But it's a weight off knowing it's gone and I've replaced some of the savings I'd used to buy the new van. Now I just want this one as best I can get it before I head off on the next adventure .

I'm hoping I shouldn't require the generator but just in case I'd like it running .

Tried it again this morning but it just turns over with no attempt to start . I'm not sure it's getting a spark .

Spark or fuel can't be anything else.
You're going to have to get it out of its hiddy hole and give it a service.
Sooner rather than later while you have the extra pair of hands
Problem shared is a problem halved.

 

[Puddleduck]

Generators are simple beasts I understand so when they go wrong it is usually something simple or a funeral service required.

On some of the Honda's, it's important that the flywheel is clean and dry to get a good spark.

Yeah I just doubt I'll have time now. I'm leaving Just smiffy this weekend as he needs to now get things done on his van and his car before he heads off and I need to actually put some Miles on this camper and make sure everything is OK mechanically before I go over to Europe. So I'll be doing a few weeks around the South. So I have 2/3 days of dry weather this week and I need to remove the rear wheels , clean and check rear brakes etc , remove the spare wheel and check that . Those are more important jobs at present . I also think Just smiffy has been a fantastic help but he's been working on this with me for a good few weeks now and it's resulted in him having aches and pains so he needs a break from it.

Have you pulled the spark plug and cleaned/checked gap Tam or is it not accessible?

Nothing is really accessible

 

[Rollingwheels]

If you can get the cap off and put another plug into the cap you can see if it sparks as you crank it with the plug resting on the engine casing, it might isolate the issue.

Or even just a wire from cap to casing!

I worked with someone who just stuck his little finger up the plug cap

Is the generator a Honda engined TEC29 Dometic?

I believe so .

It's definitely a tec 29 dometic .

 

[pagey]

i had a honda mower when it would not start 1 time the fault was the for want of a better term the spark generator its underneath the flywheel available on ebay for cheap

 

[Lenny HB]

Get the genny out dump it on Gary's kitchen table, guarantee it will be returned working & looking like new.

 

[eddie]

I believe so .

The best Honda man in the business was a friend called Brian Huges

He told me to order a articulated spark plug spanner from Honda as I had a camper with a factory fitted TEC 29 and spark plug removal is really difficult without it

Never needed to use it ironically lol

Your welcome to borrow it if you need it?

We still miss Brian and his jokes we used to help him at shows as we were both Honda dealers one show caravan club gathering at Cholmondley castle we sold 65 eu10s+several eu 20 in aweekend ,so when a Honda generator annoyes you could be our fault.
