    I'm really glad you have done this video. I have a generator I need to get the engine separated from the power plant. Now I have an idea of how to go about it. Your knowledge on small engines has been a great help to many of my small engine repair endeavors. I appreciate and enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.

      Another way to remove the tapered shaft is to fill it with water and then put a screw in the middle of it. The hydrolic pressure will pop it right off. I have seen James Condon use that method.

    The water creates the jelly you found in the carburetor. I have found actual green alge growing in a carburetor bowl. I harp on everyone to drain the fuel out of your generator when not being used for long durations. I usually pull the fuel line and inject WD -40 into the carb from the fuel line, then reassemble. When you need the generator now, it will run every time. I learned this doing snowmobile repair. In the spring, I drained both carburetors and sprayed them. I also fogged the cylinders. Most owners' manuals recommend this on snow mobiles. I applied to to all my small engines during the off season.

    Mustie, you mixed up balls to the wall and balls out. Balls Out is a governor running at maximum throttle, balls to the wall comes from jet fighters in Viet Nam or possibly Korea where the balls on the top of the throttle levers would touch the firewall at maximum thrust. Balls to the wall and headed for home is the phrase that comes to mind.

    Hi Darren, the story I heard of "balls to the wall" seems a little more plausible. Originated from WW2 fighter pilots when they needed to go full speed. The throttle levers had balls on the end akin to our hot rod floor shifters. Pushing the levers towards the instrument panel would speed up the engine. Hence the expression "balls to the wall". And thanks for another great video.

    • @1beltfed

    It sat for about 3 years after that and it wouldn't start due to a gummed up carb. I cleaned that and have been babying it since then. I run it for 5 minutes every couple of months and always use non-ethanol fuel and change it every fall.

Drill and tap the rod vane & install small bolt with double nuts on each side you could grind the outer parts like a cup or flat to assist the oil movement.Dont think balance would matter you could even weigh the broken piece and get it close with your repair weight.Then just replace the governor parts only & back in service on the cheap,LOLL!

    "Balls to the wall" is aviation lingo - full throttle on an airplane is with the control levers all the way forward, with the plastic balls on top of them close to the instrument panel. The saying related to steam engines is "balls out" - when the governor is spinning wildly and its balls are as far out as they can.

    When removing the carb, I always ensure not to overextended the governor arm to cause the slider to pop off or the weights to open far enough to allow that. Sticking an object so the arm does not travel back and forth while fidgeting with the linkage is a good idea. This all may have started with the carb replacement.

    The Husky generator owner made two crucial mistakes. 1) Replaced the carburetor instead of cleaning it. 2) Replaced the carburetor with one that did not interface exactly with the original so the governor could work properly, thus blowing the gear.
    Dipped may be able to be welded back on.

    I like learning new things! Never knew where the phrase 'balls to the wall' came from. Always thought it was just a 80/90s slang term or something, like 'tubular'.

    I think what you were referring to "Balls to the wall" was for the throttle levers for airplanes. "Balls out" would be for the old governors.

    I may be wrong, and you may still not be able to buy the parts separately, but it looked to me like the oil dipper was part of connecting rod end cap, and not the rod itself.

    The alternator part looks similar to my 8000 Watt Coleman generator. Same brush type. Same stator look. Same looking square cover too. The rotors winding often fails. There are capacitors under the black cover on mine and 2 diodes.

    I had the same experience-someone replaced the carb on a mower that I bought not running-it was new so I thought it would make a good flip-after buying and installing some new parts, I discovered that the governor was broken-it needed the whole assembly, plus a new cam and carb rebuild-lost money on it-the flip was a flop!

      Had one where a technician forgot it on a vehicle and it remained where he put it and several month later the vehicle came back to the shop for a different repair and the light was still in place and it still worked! He cleaned it up and is still using it to this day. Think us a Braun l.e.d light.

    Mine I had replaced the carb and had fire coming from the muffler . A mechanic told me being after market the carb may be jetted for a higher horse power thus to much gas . Not the first time not oem has failed me. Also check the lifter/ valve setting that'll do bad things too.

    Sorry Mustie but "balls to the wall" Came from WW2 when the pilots would take off with the airplanes they would put "balls to the wall" which meant Throttle ,Mixture and propeller controls full forward towards the firewall thus the term. Those control levers had ball on the end to give a better grip. Look at a video of WW2 vintage airplanes inside the cockpit and you'll see what I mean.
    I love your videos they teach me a lot about small engines.
    Thanks

    Water to the top + bolt with Teflon tape on the thread will take the powerhead from the shaft as well (and no thread damage) Water cannot be decompressed so it creates huge amount of force. This trick is used widely to take off primary CVT drive on snowmobiles

    I never use stabilizers after watching the Taryl videos. Ethanol still gels up after a year or so. I think it interacts with the water somehow.

    Jay Leno covered the "Balls to the Walls" term in one of his steam engine videos. It has the ball weights on the upright governor and he showed speeding it up with the balls flying outward when accellerating to higher speeds.
