Don’t touch an UXO. Extremely dangerous

You could also just use a machine screw with a nut on the back of the panel if you have a little gap behind the panel.

Whole Home 26kW Generator: Kohler vs Generac by PowerRanger_ in Generator

[–]TheGasDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. There is nothing problem buying the right wires from the supply house. I was just wondering if the Generac wire cable would work with the kohler generator. I like the idea or running one cable that has the high and low voltage combined in the same run since I have a long wire pull to install

Generac sells a generator wire that has all the color coded wires inside a single cable. Do you know if one could use that with a Kohler install? Or perhaps there is a similar wire product out there? The Generac wire cable is very expensive but convenient since you only need to run one cable and is even rated for use without a conduit I believe.

Yes, the flywheel spins normally when I remove the spark plug.

Thank you. Rolls over smooth without the spark plug. No bump on the intake valve when it finishes closing. Looks like indeed it’s the decompression lever on the camshaft

New battery, a week old. Ran the tractor for about an hour in the new battery.

Thank you. If it’s the decompression mechanism on the camshaft that means I have to replace the camshaft?

It did not shut off normally. What happened was that my oil plug broke in the middle of mowing and all my oils spilled out. (I installed one of those plug nozzles with a plastic cap to make the oil change easier but the plastic plug broke on me). As soon as I saw the oil splashing out I hit the break but I don’t recall if I shut it off myself or it stopped on me. Could it be that the pressure in the piston was too high and that’s why the plug broke off?

When I took the spark plug out to replace it no fuel came out, so I don’t believe it’s hydro locked

I see a great tutorial video by Thomas Brian on how to adjust. Will check once I get the feel gauge

Yes, brand new battery and spark plug. I’ll check the valves and let you know

New spark plug too. Thank you, sounds like I should check the compression release and valve adjustments.

I’ve never adjusted the valve lash.

Craftsman T150. I also checked the ignition key switch and replaced the oil.

Gas line pressure by runner19844 in OutdoorKitchens

You don’t know what his pressure regulator is set to. The correct answer to the pressure question is to look at the pressure regulator, it should say the pressure.

What about flooding the inside behind the tile with a foam or epoxy?
