I need to find a cover for the light bulb. Since you're the lawn mower man, would you happen to have a clear fuel primer bulb that size?

You can use an app called CamScanner on your smart phone, which is free and pretty simple to use, for posting files of any documents. I know, old men and technology don't mix but this is real easy to use if you want to try it and you don't use a flipper. These documents would be nice to add to the files section.

 

If anyone has a flatbed scanner and can email high resolution images I can create a pdf from those too.

Thank you, no rush as I guess you're still busy in the shop fixing lawnmowers.

Thanks Terry, there's no rush scan them when you have time, I usually scan in high resolution to PNG files, but JPG files would probably be better for email.

Thank you to Terry @JUST O&R for scanning the manual for the Nichols generator Model D, it has now been added to the manuals sticky thread.

 

It reveals the purpose of what looked like a glass lamp inside (found by @Wallfish in the Creme Lure generator refresh thread), it's actually an overload protection thermostat.

Just decided to work on this generator today it been slow here I guess because of fathers day. Thought I would get her running

before I set it on the shelf wiring looked pretty good . I'm not going to take the generator off of the engine and mess up the wires.

the rest looks pretty good .

The problem I had was separating the generator halves to get inside of that section for cleaning and repairs. That set up with the clutch connection will let it separate and go back together very easily. Not sure it really needs to come apart but just in case you wanted to open up the engine.

That's great to know just thought I would leave the rest together. the air filter was not sucked in .It all looks good

so I will do the carb  (a) little cleaning and get her back together . Not a lot of time to do much just would like to

get something done.

The line goes straight down and has one of those cone type filters with a screen on it on the end. The cone is too large to fit out of the fill tube too.

Mine was broken off so to repair it a hole was drilled in the tank but on the opposite side of where I marked in the pic. The only solution to fix it so... The circle cutout was glued back in using Seal All. Undetectable unless the engine is removed.

Is it clogged? Best to work on it slowly soaking carb cleaner in it until it loosens up if so.

that were the little spy cam came from .

Will carb cleaner cause any damage to the plastic, I would hate to find out why these tanks end up damaged the hard way.

Didn't have any problem using carb cleaner. Used it to clean out the old gas and oil residue inside the tank of mine. BUT, I didn't leave it sit in there for a very long period of time either, probably less than hour or so total. Then blew it out to evaporate what was leftover too

The fuel line is not completely clogged but the tank has a good amount of slug in the bottom

I will try to clean out the tank and see what happens. Thanks for all the input
