Optional – removing the muffler cover
If desired, you may partially disassemble the other half of the generator shell in order to remove the gas tank, as
instructed in step 8 above. Follow the directions below.
1. Loosen the 3 screws on the
right
side of the muffler cover (see step 5) and the 3 screws from the
left
side of
the control panel housing. Set the screws aside. Remove the muffler cover; leave the housing alone.
2. This will give the cover panel and left half of the generator shell some flexibility, so that you can get the other
half of the generator shell and the gas tank off.
Installing the new carburetor
Follow steps 1 – 20, in reverse order, to install the new carburetor. Some tips and tricks are below.
21. Re-install pressure equalization hose, drain hose, choke cable bracket, and fuel line.
22. Replace the carburetor on the studs.
23. Re-install the air duct on the studs. Make sure it is securely seated in the air filter housing.
1. TIP: the air duct’s bottom fitting is flared.
Gently
use a flat-head screwdriver to ensure it is seated in the
housing hole (Fig. 20 below).
24. Reinstall the 10mm nuts on the studs.
25. Reinstall the choke cable in the choke cable bracket (step 14). Install a zip tie between the choke cable and
bracket, as shown in Fig. 13. Make sure to trim the end of the zip tie.
26. Insert the choke cable into the post. Use the markings you made in step 13 to determine how far the cable
should be inserted into the post. Tighten the screw.
1. Pull out on the choke lever on the front panel. You should see the choke (atop the carburetor) open and
close.
27. Align the drive shaft of the stepper motor with the slot in the carburetor throttle. See Fig. 21 below.
