RV Repair: Onan Emerald Plus 4000 genset, starter relay, hi john


Question
When I had my Rv serviced,  I asked that my model 4BGEFA26100J  ONAN genset be looked at. It cranked irregularly.  The mechanic said he started it but  that I should be aware that it probably needed a starter drive soon.  I removed the unit from the motorhome and pulled the starter.  The drive looks  ok-  the gear is unchipped,  the gear moves foreward,  and the spiral looks good ( judging from my days fixing 60s Chevys).  I can't find any strarter relay.  Any hints of where to look next?  

Answer
Hi John:
The starter relay sits near the lower left front corner close to where the electrical wires come into the generator. Looks just like a Ford starter relay. Two large wires and two small ones on top. You can make it work by jumping a hot wire to the hot side small wire on top. Good luck.
