The bushing and valve assembly seemed to be a little too large to assemble in the existing tank hole. After damaging one bushing trying to install even using some lubricant, I ordered another bushing and drilled the tank hole out just a small amount and then the unit went together fine. Still a very tight fit. I then installed the valve and the fuel line.

Shutoff valve leaked, and gasket leaked

RUSSELL from ORLANDO, Florida

3 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
Difficulty Level:
Easy
Total Repair Time:
30 - 60 mins
Tools:
Socket set
Parts Used:

1. Remove hose from shutoff valve
2. Remove remnants of bushing & shutoff valve
3. Push new the bushing into tank
4. Lube inside of bushing with a very small amount of oil.
5. Push shutoff valve into the bushing until it snaps into place. This is easiest to do if tank has been removed, but it is not necessary if you have small enough hands to work under the gas tank.
6. Loosen all vibration mounts.
7. Lift each corner, remove old mount, replace with new mount, go to next corner until all four are replace. I used a piece of wood to hold up the generator between the frame and generator to remove the vibration mount.
8. Retighten each corner mount, operate generator and check for vibration
