There was originally a solenoid mounted near the governor that matched the rpm to the load - it was apparently problematic enough to discontinue the part, the replacement mechanism was notably more complex and electronically integrated with its Onan generator components. Briggs also sold a bright orange and slightly beefed up version of this generator under their contractor brand "Koehring", 3500 watts 110/220v. I plan to do a propane conversion on mine, assuming that electric start isnt too complex to implement. Eliminating gasoline as a fuel should make it much more reliable for intermittent/occasional use! These units are comparatively rare today, this is the first video Ive seen on one. I assume the tombstone Briggs is now more valuable by itself lol - ty sir!
Have the same generator from 91 when i bought my house, great generator! Its hard to pull, so i spray syarter fluid in the air filter every time kicks right off.
I have one, not started in maybe 20 years...
