TWL: Fw: Onan generator

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the input. All impeller blades/vanes have been accounted for, as
none were truly missing in action. All four separated blades were still
inside the pump housing. Also, while not something that I would be pleased
with, even if they had disappeared, they have to go out the exhaust side.
Since this genset is raw water cooled, the pieces just end up in the
AquaMuffler never-never land!
