Mine doesn't have that valve either. Mine was also missing the fuel filter but these are readily available from any Robin dealer. The original part number was replaced by an upgrade, which needs to have a small piece of the plastic cut out by a pocket knife or diagonal cutters. If anyone...
Welcome to Steel Soldiers. You will find excellent support here for both deuces and gensets. http://www.smokstak.com is another good site for MEPs if you haven't been there yet.
Credit card works best and you don't have to worry about fraud on your card. Liability is limited to $50.00 max and most cards don't even make you cover that. I use American Express and have never had an issue after many transactions with GL over the years.
You can always find someone willing to swap the older seat setup for your springer seat. I like the older seat because of the storage space under the seat, but it is definitely less comfortable.
Bigger tires is about all you can do and obviously there is a limit how much bigger you can go. You can also run the tires at 55 - 60 psi. This won't make the truck go any faster, but it does ride and handle better. Minimizes the wobble as well. You are limited to 60 psi max due to this...

In Georgia they will give you a temporary tag for free. However, I did not post it as tape wouldn't stick to the CARC. Make sure you drive through the weight stations - they almost always wave you through thinking you are military.
When you drain the fuel / air separator, it is common that the drain is plugged up. Open the petcock and use a piece of welding rod, etc. to clear the drain. Mine was full of **it and I had to keep poking it free to clear it. Leave the pump running while clearing it, but be prepared for a...
I was taking a wheel off of a 50s vintage vehicle once. I found that there was a mix of left and right hand studs on the same wheel. Fortunately, when I couldn't get some to come loose my Dad noticed the mix of L and R markings. He never assumed anything. I changed out the incorrect studs.
