Another tip, for cutting thinner gaskets, use a glass cutter to cut your gasket on top of a piece of glass. Press hard enough to cut the gasket, but not hard enough to cut the glass. This technique was used by a school teacher that needed to cut a lot of things (letters, numbers, etc), and she was able to have a nice bulletin board.

Jim, in addition to Bryant Fry's hint, what I do to straighten those studs is to screw a long connection nut on the stud, right to where its bent. Then you can straighten it with a ring wrench that I put on the nut. With the nut there is no way you mess up the threads. The pipe Bryant was proposing might create marks at the end, but will work as well. Hope I found the right terms, since I'm not a native speaker. Greetings from Germany Andreas

I have a Husky power washer that my neighbor gave to me, non-running. He admitted he never changed the oil. Ever. And it was built in 2006! It has a small flat head briggs. It looks just like your Husky generator, a red cube covered in plastic all over. A total pain to work on. I guess they cover the entire engine as they expect the average homeowner to simply add gas and connect a water hose. Simply trying to access the carb or pull the spark plug, requires removing like 12 screws and prying apart the entire machine. Kind of like working on a clothes dryer! I've basically stripped the entire housing off of it and just left the engine/pump housing mounted to the floor-frame. Much better :) It runs great, and like you said - "it earned an oil change"! I actually take the same approach! Only after I get an engine/machine running well enough that is has hope, do I change the oil. I'll add oil before running if it's low though. great video!

Jim, here's a tip on straightening bent studs. Slip a piece of pipe with just a slightly bigger diameter over it, and then you can nudge it back. The longer the stud, the easier it is to straighten. I have used this from time to time with none of them breaking. If it has a sharp bend, there you will have more risk of it breaking. Mustie1 uses this technique.

Brushless generators are always going to have higher total harmonic distortion. The squiggly lines at the top of the wave is the result of the circuit "ringing." This is because the capacitor and the inductor (the spinning rotor) are acting as an undampened (think of a car with no shocks) resonant circuit. The best way to stop the circuit from ringing is to add a purely resistive load like a heater to quiet that circuit down. Unfortunately it is not a 100% solution. I would say try loading it up to 50% to 65% and see how the waveform looks. Nothing beats an inverter generator with proper RFI/EMI filtering on its output.

So many people are caught up in the clean power. My 1850 watt camping portable generator and 6250 watt generator both non inverter generators. In the 1850 portable non inverter generator is relatively quiet. Have ran things since 1994 when I bought the truly made in the USA generators both with bulletproof Briggs and Stratton engines. No electronics burned up. But the newer inverter portable generator I bought burned up in less than a few months it went back to the store tried another one and that died too. They were cheap Chinese inverter generators though. I went to Honda inverter generators now they don't seem to die and seem pretty dependable so far. But I found out the hard way if the overload light comes on in an inverter generator you better cut it off immediately and cut back the power here using. And not keep having the red overload light come on or you can burn them up like I did. Inverter generators are supposed to be so smart they don't blow a resettable breaker like the two older ones I mentioned do they just blow the inverter board.

Where do you live that there is no rust or dust? Most people around my parts keep their generators in a shed or outbuilding. Anything that sits for years, even in a "clean" shop, is going to build up a layer of dust on it. Rust also, in many parts of this country with the high humidity levels, especially if it is kept in an unheated space. Where I live, I have learned to hate chrome because anything chromed that sits outside, even if out of the rain, still pits and corrodes from the humidity. My grandfather had a beautiful set of 1940s Craftsman sockets hanging on a pegboard in his barn, one socket to a peg - they hung there so long that 100% of the chrome flaked off the sockets and each socket had a pile of tiny chrome flakes underneath it on top of the work bench, when we cleaned out the barn after he passed away.
