That aint good news, I got this 10 year ago off a service truck that ended up in the junk yard and have not tryed to start it since. Is there a trick to get the fuel bowl of a spec f one that has the altitude adjustable knob?

Well day 3 of getting spare parts out of the bed, to get the compost off the foor of the bed that turned up from sitting. I was running gravel through the bed, to brake up the asphalt/tar that came with the truck. This stuff had to be scraped off and moving all the weight out, was too much for my leg to keep getting subject to.

I was in luck, in that there was a mexican in my presences and was told by the translator that he clean the hole floor with a tooth brush for $20. Well that solve the issue of the bed being a tinder box, so let me push on to get the gen set up and going.

Well found more things needed and more things to fight with like this broken bolt for the brushes. They need pulled when this unit sits and were they ride needs filed before there operational, to keep from burning out the regulator.

@Nero has a bunch of extra parts for that generator if you need anything, just let him know.

Yea, I did not want to empty out my parts bin but evertime I moved stuff around keep finding that compost that was annoying me. Now need to deal with some bucking till can get weight back in the bed. Do want to get at somepoint a gas compresor to join the gen set, and have its tank mounted on the frame.

@1mouse3 I asked my buddy at work he said you can swap the whole carburetor over. He also said if you have the serial number he could get your the part # of the elevation carb if you need it. Gen is either a BGE or an NHM. They stopped production of them about 2003

Mine is the bgd and I allready ordered a rebuild kit. I was going to pull the bowl off the carb to look inside but it did not look normal, having the elevation adjustment. Im only going to be testing this at about 500-600ft and be used in a area thats 300-400ft.

Edit: Dose it mater what fuel pump I use? I have a red edelbrock pump siting.

4psi 36" of fuel lift is the spec, anything over 6psi will overflow the carb. So if your fuel pump meets those, send it

Air cooled engine, need to pull shrouds off and clean cylinders and heads of debris if it has been setting a long time.


Good point on something that needs done.



Maybe you should put a regulator in the fuel line to be on the safe side.


I stoped at the parts store and got one, since is easy to get and this one was spair in the f100. This one if for 1-4 psi and dose sliting, so maybe could run two small engines off this pump.

Here is the proff that it went round and round, used a chain saw file and then scotch bright to get it clean.

Slip rings look pretty good.
I can tell you there's no new onan parts being made for that, but tons of aftermarket options exist
