Unfortunately, I was in a position with very little funds in the bank. I only had cash,bso I had to go this route and I'll replace it with an OEM carburetor.

While I was searching, I saw a letter - number sequence that I saw stamped on the side if the carburetor. LMT in the bottom left, and 5-4993. The letter numbers were not sequential though. They were on different parts of the carburetor, seemingly unrelated. I ordered a rebuild kit in Amazon...

Thank you.

Hey everyone, I recently bought a portable generator with the Briggs & Stratton 10.0 engine mod number 19E412 type 013101 Code 9512141A. The carburetor needs to be rebuilt. Having problems finding the correct rebuild kit any help is appreciated thank you

Oil is halfway between L and H. It runs better now and doesn't shake or knock. It does blow blue smoke for about 15 seconds when cold starting. It puts out 120v but the idle is turned up higher than it was prior to "fixing" it. I appreciate everyone's input and help and I'm still open to more...

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it! I put a new carb. on, so I don't think it's that. It's running rough. And by rough I mean there's a slight knocking noise. Also, when I shut it off the whole generator shakes violently and there is a loud knock.

I'll check into the hertz meter. Right now I have to turn the idle way up to prevent the gen from dieing when I run a heavy load, i.e. welder. This wasn't necessary before. Thanks for the advice!

I don't have a hertz meter. It runs on propane and gasoline. I only use gasoline. It's a rough idle that will stall. If a heavy load is applied, like a welding machine, I have to crank up the idle rpm's to keep it from stalling out.

I set both valve lashes to 0.003. It starts and stays running. It doesn't seem to have much power though and only puts out around 90 volts

I did like you suggested and checked for internal leakage of fuel. There was none. No gas in the oil and the level was fine. It's been snowing again, so it'll probably

By charging things up, I meant flashlights, battery banks, cell phone etc. I studied up on the ACR, and when I had the engine apart, it was free moving (the spring was pushing back) and everything seemed intact and working. I will pull the valve cover and check again for the rocker dip,

It started and ran fine. I may have gotten a wire crossed because it wouldn't shut off when I turned the key to the off position. So I had to shut it off with the choke. Later, when I went to charge things up, it wouldn't start. I had the same issue I did in the beginning; I couldn't pull past...

Thanks for the good advice. I will check for gas coming out the spark plug this afternoon. I didn't notice any dip on either the exhaust or intake. Two things happened at top dead center. The first time the Piston came to TDC, both rockers had no movement or play. As I kept pulling the rope and...

The intake valve was off by 0.003, reading 0.009. I reset it to 0.004, and the exhaust to 0.006, reducing the clearance by 0.002 for each. I think that is what you recommended. I won't start it until you confirm. The carburetor doesn't visibly leak. When I took the valve cover off, there was...

I first want to apologize for not responding sooner. It's been overcast with snow and my only means of charging is a small solar panel with two 5 volt outputs. I could use my vehicle but the gas is expensive to just charge a phone. There were so many different "opinions", it's difficult to...
