Honda EZ1800 generator

When I shut this thing off, the fuel leaks out very slowly on the ground - even with the fuel switch off! Any ideas what I can do about this?

I know this sounds overly simplistic but find the source and fix it. It may be the valve or connectors have come loose or a hose. Worst case would be a hole in the tank, but I would check out the valve and replace it if that is the source.

3 hp Briggs and Stratton - throttle probems

This is a 80000 side valve engine off a mower. The id. part of the serial number is 80432. The build date was 1/11/1973. I got hold of this recently as a stand alone engine. I haven't started it yet, but it is clean, no rust of the steel work, has a good spark and the compression feels fine. The problem is that it came without the throttle control cable. It is the two part Flo-jet carburettor. B & S have supplied me with the User's Manual and Parts List. Where I am having difficulty is identifying from the scanned 1960's documents where and how the throttle cable attaches - I can see a clamp on the engine body below the carburettor, but not a fitting to take the cable inner. It would also appear from the Parts List and zooming in on the diagrams in the User Manual that there could be a spring missing between the governor mechanism and the throttle arm. Can anyone give me any help on this please RobRead More

My son picked up a Craftsman tiller model 917.293480 at an estate sale for almost nothing. It does have a few minor issues that can be easily fixed, including a bad carb, but is otherwise in good condition. My question: does the engine have to be running to shift out of Neutral and into Forward or Reverse? Just trying to determine if I need to go through the gear box or not. Thanks!Read More
