Need small engine/generator info
Hey guys,
(I know this is an MB forum, but since the people in OD know everything anyway...) I came across an old 5kw generator, Pincor Model RF-50HM2 with an 11hp B & S engine on it. B & S Model 252412. I need an owners manual or any kind of documentation for the thing-especially the generator head wiring - just in case I need to mess inside there. I can find an owner's manual from B&S's site for the motor, but thats about it. And Illustrated parts list would work well also. Right now, it is tough to pull-start (like pulling a rock through the mud) but it feels like it has some compression, I'm gonna pull the carb and head to see what I can see. For some reason, messing with small engines like this is kinda cool. I used to think they were simple, but my last "project" (an MTD yard bug) didnt work out, so maybe I'm getting my inner mechanic slapped around a bit =) Anyone else dig this stuff ? or have any links that might help ? -John

My neighbor has an 8hp Tecumseh on a 48" mower and I'm really glad that it starts on the second pull. Make sure it has a working choke........or you're doomed. |

We used to have an old push start driving mower, that thing was a real pain to start... I broke the string one day, and while taking it apart, found out that the string attached to a square thing sticking out of the engine, well, we bought a 12-point socket that fit on there, and it was a breeze to start that thing with an air wrench (Which I have since lost )
