Hello All,
As I believe that most of you know, my son Jeff and I purchase vintage Briggs and Tecumseh "flatheads" that are non-running, missing parts, or otherwise have been abused/neglected and enjoy restoring them and bringing them back to life. Today we picked up a non-running portable MTD Products generator with a 5 HP Briggs engine (see information below) for cheap (only $ 20.00) mainly just for the various engine parts. After tinkering with it for about an hour and performing some minor repairs we now have the engine running fairly good. We then checked to see if the generator was working, however, there was no power coming from the (2) 120V receptacle outputs. Instead of just canabalizing the engine for parts, we thought it would be cool to get the generator working again, if possible. Can anybody provide us with some guidance ? Does anyone have an owners or parts manual or an on-line link to one for this generator? I will candidly admit that my son and I are complete newbies as far as working on portable generators! Thank you for any help you can provide!
Michael
