Tecumseh engine that has a fairly obvious problem with the case... and generator endplates

Finished product. Note that I finally found a use for that empty freon tank! It was a tank that held 30 lbs of R-134A. Now it holds about 3.6 gallons of gasoline, giving me at least 12 hours of run time.


 

 

Once again, a hardy thanks to NJ8V for helping machine a pulley assembly and the drive shaft of the generator for the cause!

 

Generator fever; it is a terrible thing.
