for specifics, you really need the maker of the engine and not the supplier of the generator. They tend to be Briggs and Stratton or Honda. There are some videos that may help, but Engine make and model will get you the manual for the power plant.
If this is your non-inverter model, the 'maintenance' section is lacking in any real information. The engine 'Service Manual' is what you need, but for that you need the make and model. Briggs and Stratton have a page of valve settings
You will need what the factory resistances valuea re supposed to be, cold. Then use a high quality ohm meter with 3 decimal places, disconenct all wires off the stator. Check each wire with a meter to the ground frame, if there is any value, stator is shorted. Then check between stator wires ie L1 L2 and compare resistance value with factory values.
Hello, probably a really good guess is 2 1/2 to 3 gals. Oil type I would use cleaing additive multi-temperatur 10/15 or 10/20 well know brank. Synethic oil I don't know how well does it work in an air cool engine. GB...stewbison
Hello; The Briggs engine front case is shaped to accommodate the internal mounting of the Alternator section. A service manual for this model would be very helpful. I believe you need to dismantle the back of the Alternator where the outlets are and then the outer case with the stator windings in it. This will leave the rotor ( the long shaft with windings on it ) which will be attached to the output shaft of the engine by some coupling device the you must dismantle. John
the gen head will need to be removed if it in on that side and the flywheel side should be done as well the seals can be purchased from any auto parts store with using the numbers off the seal some engines need to be split do to the seal needs to enter from the inside side if this is the case reseal the hole engine i suggest you get a small engine repair manual or the manual for your unit this will be a involved undertaking removing the gen head can be tedious and special tools will be required so no damage to it hope this helps
unscrew the four bolts holding it on and chek the rope has not become tangled dont unscrew the centre bolt as the recoil spring will suddenly shoot out everywhere
you can buy the whole recoil + pull cord ready to install ,or have a small engine shop rewind it if you cant. some times the tab that held it breaks and you have to replace it.
