Okay. One more update. I can't help myself. All the times previously that I thought I fixed it. When I got it fully reassembled it would laugh at me and say just kidding I'm still not right. Ha ha. So today after completely reassembleing the gen minus battery terminal covers. They are coming...

I do feel really lucky to have gotten what I'm pretty sure is a brand new engine because the pull cord wouldn't retract. You never know why it might be in the crate. That's definitely a win.

Thank you to both you guys. You are correct 2Pbfeet I definitely didn't come away empty handed and gained knowledge and still have a project. I was looking at these two engines and noticed the full throttle bolt on top has a tamper wire also. My bottom wire the lead was still there but it was...

Okay. I think this thread can end. I don't have 831 load issues any more. I just ran it for over 6 hours at lots of loads and the last half hour was at 3kw. At the end of that half hour the gens was just slightly puffing a tiny bit of smoke but not an issue and it held fine. Unfortunately...

When When I look at my pictures when I took it apart and the way the book says to install it i think the rod might be backwards. To look at it it doesn't look like it would matter but it does say to turn it a certain way. It looks to me like it says the flat spot with the 106 should be...

I'm glad to see it working correctly also but it honestly doesn't feel like a win. Heck I threw an entire new engine at it. I did reassemble the engine and put oil in it because I don't like the idea of the engine sitting there dry. I think i will end up draining the oil and disassembling it...

Hello

Some interesting things I'm finding reading the manual. First I didn't check the parralelity of the rod. Maybe I should check that. Also the description of the rod and which engine it goes in don't match what I have it says the L70 gets a through bolt and I have the push bolt. Maybe it's...

Okay update. As of right now the new to me engine has been running for 3.5 hours at various loads. I've been changing the load about every 15 minutes. I started at 500 watts for a few minutes then 1kw for a few minutes then gave it 1.5kw for 15 minutes. Then 2kw for 15 ect. About the 2kw point...

I was pretty disturbed by that myself. I think that's less than an hour of running and it already looked like that. When I saw that I thought for sure the rings were going to be wrong. But no. I will have to say no to all of those questions you had. The rod piston pin ect are all the same...

Forgot to add pics again

Copy that. I push some air back and forth through the muffler until puffs of carbon weren't coming out. I couldn't get to crazy with air pressure and flow since I only have a milwaukee 18 volt air compressor. I took the engine apart today and the rings were out of spec but not to tight. A hair...

Ha ha. I just reread my message about taking the exhaust off. Hard to follow. I'm sorry guys I write terrible. I ran the gen with no exhaust and it ran good. I did it a couple times and the one was about 15 minutes at full load. I see i said I gave it new air. New air filter i meant. I wrote...

I need to tear the engine apart and check and or adjust my ring gap. Ugh. It's my fault but the owner of the shop wasn't happy his guy hadn't done that when they bored or the cylinder. They had the piston and rings and I assumed. I'll play around with the fuel pump flow also. It is a new fuel...
