George, Call Lee Legler from Yorkville, he is an expert at this stuff. He has installed several Generacs for me and repaired an old dog as well. He will know right away what needs to be done. I would recoemmend him to anyone in the area, the other guy I had out of Newark/Norway area was useless...
Phone:(630) 546-8476 He will also give you a good deal on the generator.
