Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Coleman Powerbase 5000 Generator with B&S 10-HP Engine, leak location, hp engine
QuestionTwo questions concerning my Coleman Powerbase 5000 Generator (or more specifically, about it's B&S engine: Model 196412, Type 1180 E2, Code 990325 YD).
First, I inadvertently knocked the "S"-shaped link-throttle off which connects the Governor Control lever and the Linkage lever. Both levers have 2 holes labelled 19 and 25. Do you know which holes the "S"-shaped link-throttle should go into?
I knocked the "S"-shaped link off when I was inspecting an oil leak that occurred while I was running the generator. It seem to be coming from where the Crank-Governor comes out of the engine. I was planning on taking it in to be fixed, but was curious if you had any thoughts on the leak location. The generator had been running fine for about 3 days when the leak suddenly occurred.
Thank you.
Answer Hello Jon:
If I Understand Correctly, the S Link goes in the Top Hole on the Governor Control Arm and On the Throttle Control Lever. It is Possible the O-ring Around the Governor Shaft is Leaking the Oil. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.
Good Luck
