Is nine months long enough?

[PWL216 1,213]

I had a problem with my 520 H  where it wouldn’t start. I had a mobile service come in and they couldn’t get it started, and he recommended a professional shop to bring it to. So I did. They’ve now had it for nine months. I don’t think they’ve spent a lot of time looking at it other than to change the fuel pump and maybe clean the carburetor. At this point, I think it’s a matter of pride to them. But at the same time, I know they’re not working on it. I called and left a message this week and told them I have to pick it up by the in May, fixed or not. I think I’ve been pretty patient.

Ok might be a stupid question but why couldn't we fix it here? We have a couple of 520 experts.

@WHX?? that’s not a stupid question at all and in fact, there’s a good suggestion. Thank you. If it’s not running when I pick it up, I might just bring it to the show.

Get it from the shop

Describe ALL of the issues and circumstances about it as much as you can. 

Let RS help diagnose and give a plan of attack and you follow the instructions. Some guys on here know those Onans well.

Viola, a running machine if it isn't something catastrophic going on

I'd be happy to help diagnose it along with several others.

Thx @wallfish I’m confident it’s nothing catastrophic.

I wish you were closer.  I'd have you bring it over.  It would be fun to troubleshoot it.

Spark, fuel, compression, and a way to crank it over.
