Delivered today to my store. Generator cranked and started in place. 58 hours! Generator off and sitting on a small trailer in my back yard. Working tomorrow. Will remove from trailer Sunday and get some better shots. Big empty hole in laundry unit is where generator and water pump used to...
I totally agree with Gimpyrobb. I have an old style a fellow member sent here for rebuild. I think I got the world's last remaining cross pin from the Gimp, but am loath to send the pump back to our SS brother because I have 4 of the old design here, all of which had the same failure. Save...

When the solenoid forced up, does the throttle lever come upwards or is it stuck down?? If it comes up and if you have long arms, you can lift the solenoid with your right hand while cranking the unit with your left hand. That should let fuel flow. Use an assistant to crank the unit if you...
