factory 487 #1 Posted March 18, 2015 Another recent addition to my collection is this Orline Dyna-Mite 300 generator set. Usually the carb top on this late model 13B engine has no primer button, also the fuel tank filler is extended to the top of the frame.

Wallfish 698 #2 Posted March 18, 2015 Believe it should have a primer button. A very similar unit was called a Life-Sav-r and had a water pump that connected to it as well. I don't know the exact particulars because I don't have one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #3 Posted March 19, 2015 There was a Chicken Power sold last year with a 13B engine that also had no primer button, which I also thought was wrong until I had a look at the manual posted here: http://myoldmachine.com/topic/1452-chicken-power-manual/ , no primer button & no mention of it in the instructions. Perhaps my carb was originally on a Chicken Power, as the other two Dyna-Mite generators I have seen definitely had the primer button. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #4 Posted March 19, 2015 When the fuel tank is located above the carb, the primer button isn't really necessary so I could see not needing one for a chicken power. Usually those buttonless diaphragm caps are seen on the early engines. Not sure what the deal is with yours but someone could've changed the carb or just the cap. I might have a spare cap with a button if you want to change it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the LIFESAVR branded versions of this generator just sold on ePay, sadly missing the pump, but you can see how it would attach, an extra bracket is fitted to the generator housing & the plastic cover removed for fitting the pump to the alternator shaft.

Wallfish 698 #6 Posted May 19, 2020 Just guessing the pump was just one of little water pumps with 2 garden hose type connections like the Comet pumps and others used. Like a drill pump since that would have a shaft ready to go. Nice and simple and easy to loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
factory 487 #7 Posted May 20, 2020 It must have been a small pump something like that, probably taken apart & thrown out when the rubber impeller failed & it stopped working, there was a Comet pump sold recently with the pump missing too. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
