Can you answer Kosmo’s question about Generators?:
I have a Generac stand-by generator that is about 5 years old and needs the starter replaced. I bought a new starter but I’ve never done anything like this before. I have exploded view diagrams in my owner’s manual and a father-in-law who was a journeyman electrician, but due to his health issues, I would rather do this without his help, if possible.
I’ve done some mechanical diy stuff, including replacing brakes on my car, but that was with a Haynes manual. Is there anything out there like a Haynes manual for generators?

Can you answer normy in garden city’s question about Generators?:
I start it with full choke, run it at half choke and it runs well. It carries an electrical load well. I can run it like this for hours and it doesn’t skip a beat. As soon as I try to move the choke from half to run (no choke) position the engine sputters and dies with and without a load on the engine.
