Craigslist is an addiction, I view it everyday & force myself not to respond to ads. This one I couldn't resist. Kohler K181 powered 3kw genset. Gave it a tug, it had compression, knew it would run. Threw away the sediment bowl, replaced the fuel lines, filed the points and it was purring like a kitten. All terminals powered a drill, haven't put the multi-meter to them yet, but it responds to it's solenoid, and idles down. Ordered a carb kit, the o-ring & gaskets are dried up junk. Already have friends wanting the engine, we'll see.

So apparently this is my 3000'th post at least as @YACCster that is. Thanks for looking at all my fabulous musings. -YACC

No - just an >IDIOT<

I really miss our friend. I don't get to play often, life obligations, but when I did, Stay was usually there. Many evenings we just chatted about life. It seems like many of us had the same experience, never a bad word, no judgement, just a GG. GG's will go on, but you will be missed my friend. RIP Stay

? just trying to get my post count up lol!

Congrats @YACCster you Slut. Still not a Giant Post Whore like @TBB though lol.

Should be Magneto Ignition under the flywheel and Points under the cover near the Cam Cover on those. A little hard to find Magnetos for if it does not have spark but I've converted them to run aftermarket Tecumseh Mags. Tecumseh 30560a works well with a new condenser. Old K161 Mag Old K161 with Tecumseh 30560a Mag.

WOW brown nosing example :)

well , my wife was'nt letting me know she is sick too. tested her tuesday she has covid also, so far not as bad me.

Mine has that as well. Winco calls it the "Conserv-er" lol. Mine is under the small square box on top of the old Zenith carburetor. Basically what it does is control engine idle. When power is not being used the engine will Idle. As soon as it detects voltage draw it clicks over a relay in the control box which de-energizes the electro magnet and allows the engine to go full throttle 3600rpm or 60hz which ever comes 1st. Some of the older Winco units were unregulated and used a Bridge rectifier to regulate voltage and operate at a fixed RPM of 1200rpm @60hz. Got any Pics of the Conserv-er on that Carter model N carb? Would be interesting to see how they mounted it.

Engine will need the Crankshaft replaced to be usable on anything but that genny. The crank will be short and Specifically Tapered for that particular gen head. I can get you part numbers for a K141/K160/K161 Std journal 1" x 3.75" Crankshaft if you are interested. If you want Easiest way to pop the Stator/Commutator off. Pump 5-7 pumps of Grease in the bolt hole and push the bolt back in until it contacts the grease. Then Hit the end of the bolt square on the head with a Heavy Hammer 3-4 times. The Hydraulic Pressure of the Grease compressing will force it to release from the Taper. I'm a small engine mechanic and I've had my ESA (Engine Service Association) Certification for over 30 years. I try to know my shit when it comes to small engines. Here are crankshaft specs from 1 of my binders. Sorry it's kinda washed out I'm inside with the sun coming through the window lol. I'll get you a better copy if you want.

I bought a 1964 3500w Winco Maxi-Watt with a 7.5hp Wisconsin S7D for $75 last fall. Damn thing runs absolutely Perfect after going through the fuel system and cleaning the gen head up and replacing 1 of the regulator Capacitors. I will change the other one out as well because it's most likely Electrically Leaky after 60+ years. Being on the ground side of the regulator if it does go bad all it will do is cause 10-15v higher voltage. This thing has had very very little use over the last 60 some years. Starts in 1 pull and purrs like a kitten. You can not beat the older stuff for Dependability. I'm a sucker for the small Kohler and Wisconsin engines. They can dead dependable with very little maintenance. That's alot more than I can say about any of this newer shit.

Nope. %90 of the population. The thing is, that %90 thinks its actually part of the other 10 as they go over the cliff.

I would like to take this opportunity to say how I appreciate Yack as an admin, you do an outstanding job, and thank you for all your kindness and competence and for being a great guy. Actually, I'd like to thank ALL the admins for their great work keeping the servers running well and fairly and nicely. BIG HUG! Now get back in those maps soldiers!

Nice find. I too am addicted to craigs list. Look at it everyday wishing I have gotten stuff but abstain from buying. lol

Welcome Mad Doc, do you make housecalls ?

Nice find, they don't make them like that anymore! Did you have to pull the flywheel to get to the points? As they say, one man's junk is another mans treasure!

Happy Birthday to all of you. Have a great day.

Merriam-Webster is tripping all over itself trying to define the imbecile flavor of the day. Next, we won't be able to use water & wet in the same sentence, because it's "phobic".

Nah not too much. Just sometimes fun to kick over ant hills and watch all the lemmings scurry around.

Thank you all ?

Yaccster? Yaccster?? Yaccster who???

As I've said before if you pick up a bird in a Thai nightclub and go back to hers, if she reverse parks do a runner, chances are even this dictionary ain't caught up with 'her'.

Can you live inside it????

You might breather easier if you didn't smoke, too LOL

Welcome Doc!

Enjoy

LOL, my husband has a story he likes to tell about me on a plane and NO way I am telling it. As for my excuse? "Hey, I am blonde, what do you expect? Duh, You Married Me, how smart does that make you?" Oh. "Oops"

Really suspicious, behind your screen with the massive box of tissues @piglo

Tight lines guys!!

May 1st opening day on this watershed. We nicknamed this lake HEARTBREAK Lake. We’ve had some great days fishing this lake and then there’s all those other days lol. Today was a great one all together the 2 of us hooked 9 fish released 3 lost 2 and kept 4. We took home 2 Brown trout and 2 landlocked Salmon. The limit is 2 fish each ant combos the 2 species. The bench the 4 fish are sitting on is 22 inches for comparison.
