Hello,
I just purchased a Homelite 4400 power generator that is powered by an 8 hp Briggs. As you can imagine, it has not been run much and therefore the carburetor had varnish buildup in it which required a carb rebuild. I disassembled it and soaked the body in naptha solvent for several hours, cleaned out all the ports and jets and removed the steel plug and small freeze plug-type cap(welch plug?). The engine now runs perfectly and even starts with less than a full pull of the rope.
Now to my problem: When I put an electrical load on the generator the governor doesn't pick up the load. The rpms fall and that allows the voltage and hertz to drop. I can manipulate the throttle linkage to hold the load, but in a situation where I'm using this generator for backup power, I can't stand there and hold the throttle. Not that I would.
I think the a previous owner/small engine wrench has made adjustments or bent slightly the screw stop and the spring hook tab.
Can someone please help me or refer me to help for this.
