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...

I got the generator started! I did check the compression relief valve when I had the engine apart, I just forgot about it. That was fine. It runs kind of rough. I'm not sure if I have the springs on correctly for the carburetor, as I continually have to adjust the governor arm to keep it...

And I made a key for the ignition. It's not pretty, but it works!

I was wrong about it being 1 cog off. I have issues bending forward, so I wasn't eye level. I've got the OEM battery charged now and will try that. First, I finally got the valve clearance from Duromax. .006 intake .008 exhaust Since I didn't have the exact specs before, I took the average of a...

I'll check the auto rel I'll check that today. I totally forgot about that, thanks !

Hey everyone, I am still not able to start my generator, by hand or electric start. I put new gaskets in, adjusted the valves, re-gapped the spark plug, cleaned the carburetor jets and put a new shaft key in. The problem still remains. It's extremely hard to turn over, unless I remove the spark...

Good to know, thanks

The new gasket kit arrived yesterday, but it was late. it's been too cold to go out this morning. I appreciate all the advice and tips from everyone. Your input has really helped. I'm open to any advice before installing the gasket kit, thanks again

All right, thank you for the information. I couldn't find anything on this engine. And duromax claims to be made in America, what a laugh. So, what I gather you're saying is, find a torque chart and then match the bolt or screw size that I am torquing to the corresponding bolt/ specs on the...

Engine numbers DHLG225 *17100702509*

Update I'm still waiting for the gasket kit. Someone asked for the model number. On the block is stamped;DHLG225. Then under that, between two stars is, 17100702508. Duro Max xp5500eh dual fuel generator.

I was able to pull the cord a couple of inches at a time. After doing this three or four times, I was then able to get one full pull, without the cord snapping back, which would start the engine. Also, with the spark plug removed, the cord pulled freely. Inside, the alignment points were 1 cog...

I'm not sure what the previous owner did to it. It was clean when I bought it but soon started leaking oil. I treated it like it was brand new, breaking it in according to the owners manual. Also checking the oil before every start. In other words, I don't think it was anything I did or didn't do.

Is there a standard torque spec for the fly wheel nut? I'm being ignored by Duro Max customer service. I can't find any torque specs on line or in the owners manuel

That's a great tip!I appreciate it. I'm still waiting for the gasket kit. I'm going to replace all the gaskets while I have it torn apart.

Thanks, too late I already opened it up the timing was off. Probably because of the key slipping I appreciate everyone's time

So, I probably need to open it up and adjustment the timing. Ugh. I assumed shearing the key meant to actually break the key. Buy out of position, it was slightly forward from it's normal position in the slot, on the drive shaft. It wasn't broken or bent. It's not a B&S. I hope that's okay...

I'm having issues with starting my portable generator. It pulls easy with no sparkplug. I removed the valve cover and clean carbon buildup out. I removed and cleaned the carburetor. The spark plug is gapped correctly and so is the (I think it's called) magneto on the flywheel. The flywheel key...
