Hi all, a little up date I have both my new witte md gen set and a little single cylinder air cooled lister gen set I got for my grand son in my garage. The grandson thinks its really cool having his own lister, we had to mess with his first of course and got it running and it generates power. It will not start from the switch but starts easy with hand crank.
The witte I have cleaned the nuts out of generator, used paint brush and brushed winding and blew clean with air .it looks very good for being 80 years old. Used a wire wheel to strip paint on gen head, made a huge mess in garage so I'm using gel paint striper to get paint off engine.
I could use some info on the base that holds oil and fuel.
It has a fuel line that goes from fuel pump to in line filter and went to external fuel tank. The question is how was it routed from the the factory. There is a filter looking container next to wheel with plugs in what looks to be inlet and out let but I can't find where it went into stock fuel tank.
Also can someone explain how the oil resavoir system works?
Thanks
