Here is exactly what happened.
Generator ran fine then just quit. I though maybe low oil shutoff. Nope.
It is an overhead valve 10 hp Briggs and Stratton engine. It had thrown one of those push rods that runs the rocker arms that works the valves. The other rod was bent some. So I got two new rods, set the lash and it started but ran like crap.
Got a new chinese carb, ran better but still rough.
Got a new magneto, ran a bit better but it is still missing some and is driving me crazy. Set it so it throws around 120 volts but it goes up and down some because of the missing. I can't stand it.
I really do not want to spend $100 or more for an oem carb, but is that the problem or are the valves themselves messed up so I would have to tear it apart?? Should I shoot it???
