That is also true....been watching Cutting Edge Engineering's YouTube channel out of AUS....some of the prices are outrageous for parts not obtainable there. 10% Goods and Services Tax (GST), a 5% duty on the FOB value for most machinery, import processing charges, and biosecurity fees. Why a...

You don't have a clue about import fees, do ya. 🙄

I'm at a loss about your "fuel shut off" . Is this the carburetor solenoid or a manual valve? The solenoid is only $16 or less from plenty of sources and there isn't any $170 fuel parts anywhere on this engine.

Don't pay attention to some of the "advice" you're getting. Some of these guys think they're God's gift to mechanics. Others are the real thing. You're on the right track. If some of these guys had just picked up on the fact you had a bore dial gauge and had used it to get a .0008 out of...

Christ almighty.....🤫🙄

No. Unless you're trying to keep the rings from seating.

Just a heads up....Generac had a huge amount of air filters that were made in the Phillipines about 5 years back. They were spec'ed to have a fire retardant applied to the element but the Philipinos went nuts and soaked them so they would barely pass enough air to run under load....unloaded they...

For what it is....18mm to 14mm plug adapter. Way cheaper.

A rebuild is more than just throwing parts at it. Specs, allowable dimensions, wear limits, parts availability. Nice to know what is worn beyond serviceability, if anything. Being a parts cannon is worse than useless.

Bypass the pump and go straight to the carb fuel inlet, fuel supply higher than the carb and let gravity do it's thing. See if it runs then.

These are mower engines not the space shuttle.

Forgot one modern tool that is easy to use and is a tremendous help....an induction heater. Red hot in seconds, no flame to deal with. I have a pencil model that I can change coil tips for smaller fasteners and another that will handle up to 7/8" fasteners. Above that it's usually oxy/acetylene...

Best thing I did last year was take an inventory of every tool box, cabinet, parts for the garage. Same for the computer room/office/electronics and any other place where there are things I might need/want to find. I have three files about 10 pages each for the different locations saved as a PDF...

Except for the part where we can run wide open throttle all the time and use altitude to reduce the power output. I was always a fan of lean-of- peak operation but, again you can do that generally with injected (continuous flow) and mixture control, normally aspirated. Turbos are a whole nother...

Generac probably doesn't know the size of the jets.....
