Popped open the capped point at the top of the bowl today, and as you fellers suspected the bowl was dry. Poked a piece of wire into the hole and made sure float was free, no issues there. Went with deuceaid's suggestion and attached a elbow fitting to the open point and added some tubing to...

Verified all the jets were clear prior to reassembly, pretty much by doing exactly what you stated. Poked that little red straw into every nook, cranny, jet, valve, and passage I could find in there and sprayed it clear. It is possible that some stray carc flakes managed to sneak back in though...

Threw it all back together. Generator unit was cleaned and reassembled. When power is applied, it now produces a scary amount of torque at a fair RPM, definately enough to crank over the little gas engine with ease. Cranked it over and verified that the magneto was firing properly, then...

Found something while reinstalling fuel pump what wasnt explained in the manuals. I was wondering if anyone knows what this little thing is. It appears to be springloaded and threaded like it was hooked to something originally, it is mounted to the engine and attached in the same bulge that the...

Tore the rest of fuel system off today from selector valve all the way to carb. Found stuff wrong with everything I pulled off today, so hopefully the cumulative efforts of all these little problems is why the fuel system was inop. Everything from gaskets being torn or missing, to tan CARC paint...

Could you please tell me what Id need to make an improvised bench tester? What readings I would be looking for while performing the bench test? The bosses have me workin far from my realm of expertise, and effectively without support or specialized tools (aside from what i can rig up myself).

Thanks bro, I know how to deal with the engine portion... but have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to the generator unit itself. It makes noise and hums when power is applied, which makes me think the circuit is complete, but perhaps very weak. So I think something is dirty and perhaps...

Recently had two gensets thrown into my lap with instructions to return at least one of them to a somewhat servicable condition. I am unfamilair with this particular type of genset. From what I can tell its a 28vdc air-cooled generator used for powering airframes that this place doesnt have...
