What?? that's the strangest thing I've heard of! I'm suspecting you inadvertently "Fixed" something else while you were swapping out the fuel sender.....

The cheap HVLP guns I've used were $30 on ebay, 1Liter gravity feed cup ( 33 oz ) and come with 1.4 1.7 and 2.0 mm tips. I prefer the bigger cup simply for more capacity, but the taller cup may get in the way if you're painting underneath and inside things. I purchased one originally as a cheap...

Sorry, I missed up above where you asked about the radiator, no you do not need to remove the radiator yet, just the fan, which is also a left hand nut! Only reason to remove the radiator is if you end up needing to pull the governor rack out, otherwise leave it in.

IF the binding lever is the only issue than manipulating it to the right should allow it to start. But if there are other issues going on with the governor linkage you could end up stuck at full throttle, so I'd have the air inlet tube removed and be ready to block off airflow just in case...

On the pulley, usually it will pull right off, no puller required. The bolt is indeed left hand thread. The fuel shut off lever is 2 pieces held together with a bolt through the inner end. When you reinstall the new lever be sure the 2 halves are indexed together properly before you tighten the...

Are you in need of some lifters, is that what you are saying? How many do you need, I should have a couple used sets.

Welcome back Guy! Yes he started a new thread to discuss additional issues he found. Yes, you definitely will be taking the gear cover off. Since the rack does not spring back on it's own the metering pumps and the fuel lever will never move to the correct position. I suspect something...

When you were working on reinstalling the metering pumps correctly did the lever pins on all 4 move freely? ( the pins that engage the fuel rack ) And if you removed all 4 metering pumps at once, did you notice the fuel rack always springing itself all the way to the right ( rear of the engine...

The video is great, it really shows your issue in detail. The "cycling" you have going on is definitely not your typical governor droop out of adjustment, it's very odd how RPM's slowly increase, then abruptly drop right to 60 then repeat. When the droop is adjusted wrong it will be more of a...

Have you given it a visual check to see if everything looks to be in place or if anything looks disconnected or missing? Is your Fuel solenoid missing or the arm disconnected? Also, when starting it from the Dead crank, your electric fuel pump should not run, if it is, perhaps you have a wiring...

Welcome to the forum! First off you should know that these machines are not designed to idle. they are intended to immediately start up at 60hz ( 61.5 without a load ) you should never idle them down. Have you done any load testing at all yet? Seeing that you could not raise the engine speed at...

Welcome Aboard Rapco! I too have used quite a bit of the Gillespie paint for several generators, trailers and power plant refurb projects.... great stuff! For @AZ Bengal , I suspect most / all hand held electric sprayers will have a hard time atomizing the paint sufficiently. The bigger...

Hard to say, but they can only pad the bids as much as person #2( the legit buyer ) is willing to counterbid. I just think buyers "Think" they are a going direct to the source for a "better" deal, then they all get wrapped up in bidding against each other and things get out of hand? Perhaps...

I'd say go to the 4th sticky down at the top of this gen. forum, read up on the metering pump / rack cleaning procedure. Remove the fuel solenoid and remove 1 pump, then you can stick your finger into the hole from the removed metering pump and feel the rack. Move the fuel lever full travel and...

Sorry to join late to the party, but I see a couple things that seem odd. You have already discovered that your fuel lever is not moving correctly and it also sounds like the solenoid is not working correctly either, you should have way more than 1/2" of travel in it. Also, Your fuel stop lever...
