Hello All! Someone had my Wacker Plate Compactor and the original engine stopped working, so he bought a Harbor Freight Predator 212 engine. It sat for many years unused, then returned to me recently. The Trouble: No Spark (Plus ants and larvae paced into the carburetor and who knows where...

Hi All! I have another post about finding the manual for this Predator 212 & StarTech was kind enough to find me the parts list. It's a Loncin G210FA in real life. (Thanks to StarTech's information) Instead of cluttering that post, I thought it forum etiquette to ask this question separately...

Hi All! Short Version: Brother borrowed Wacker plate compactor some years ago. Kohler K91 engine stopped working. He put on a Predator engine, probably around 2018. He returned the compactor to me yesterday. Engine troubles. Trouble: I searched for the owner's & parts manual at Harbor Freight...

Hello All, I apologize if this is in the wrong section of the forum. The machine is a homeowner grade Cub Cadet branded CC4175 power head for a string trimmer & several other accessories. I think MTD made it. The unit is from 2007. Each year, I use it about 10 or so hours maximum. It is stored...

Hi All, I hope I chose the correct section of the forum to post this. If not, I apologize. I have a Wacker G5.6 generator. The top of the generator is a long, wide fuel tank. Instead of an in-line filter, it has a strainer in the tank. The grommet is cracked and it started dripping fuel when I...

Hi All, I have a Wacker generator with a Honda GX-340 Type VWC2 engine. It used to always start on the first partial pull of the recoil starter rope. I run it every 3 months with fresh gasoline. When done, I run it until it stalls for lack of fuel. I also pull the rope until fir resistance is...

Hi All! I long-term loaned my Wacker VPG160 Vibraplate compactor to a relative. One day, the Kohler engine would not start when he was on a project. As a "favor" he swapped the engine for I think a Predator or some other Made In China engine. (Whatever he could get quickly) The Kohler used to...

I apologize that this isn't a lawn mower, but a small engine question. I have a Wacker G 5.6A generator with a Honda GX 340 engine. Typically, with a moderate load of 12-14 amps per phase, the engine uses 0.325 to 0.40 gallons per hour. The latest ten hour use, it used 2.1 gallons per hour with...

Hello All! The manuals for most of my small engine equipment say to change the crankcase oil at "X" number of hours or annually. One engine is a Honda GX340. It's manual says "X" number or hours or 6 months. I'm curious why that Honda engine wants 6 months between changes, assuming hours are...

Hi All! I have a Briggs & Stratton Model 09A413 Type 0202 Code 014006YA engine on a Craftsman 536.881501 snow thrower (Murray Number 881501NB 22 Inch 5 HP). The carburetor's float bowl is shattered, so I had to purchase a replacement carburetor. This engine came with many different...

Hello All! On my 17 year old snow thrower, I'm having a problem with heavy exhaust smell and weak power, so I decided to rebuild/replace the carburetor, spark plug & fuel filter. Upon taking the covers off to access the carburetor & fuel filter I found the surprise described below. On the...
