This circuit breaker is an important safety device found in the control box of your generator. It protects the electrical system from overloads and short circuits by automatically cutting off the electricity flow when it detects excessive current. It can handle a maximum current of 20 amps. You can tell if a circuit breaker is broken by checking for visible signs of damage, such as an unresponsive button, cracks, or burnt marks. If the circuit breaker repeatedly trips, the breaker may be faulty or overloaded. You will need a screwdriver, a set of pliers, a socket set, and a nutdriver to replace the breaker in your generator. Follow the instructions in your user manual to access the control box. You typically need to remove the carburetor and the fuel tank before removing the cover of the control box.

Carb 410hs
Part #0A4600
A carburetor controls how much fuel and air reach a portable generators engine. Varnish, corrosion, a sticking float, or a worn needle can make the engine hunt, run unevenly, stop under load, or refuse to start. A complete replacement assembly may be useful when cleaning and basic service do not correct the fault. Compare the mounting pattern, throttle and choke linkages, fuel connection, and full engine code before ordering. New mounting gaskets may need to be purchased separately. Shut off the fuel, disconnect the battery and spark plug, and label every connection. After installation, check for leaks and confirm stable speed and output under the recommended test load.

Assembly, Holder, Brush – Part Number: 66386GS
$32.55

Assembly, Holder, Brush
Part #66386GS
The brush holder assembly in your generator keeps the brushes in place, allowing them to touch the rotor. It consists of a plastic brush holder and two carbon brushes with lead wires and attached springs. You can usually find the holder assembly inside the generator housing, near the rotor and stator assembly. If the holder assembly is broken, it can cause improper electrical contact between the brushes and the rotor, leading to a loss of electrical current transfer. Additionally, over time, the brushes will wear down from use, resulting in inconsistent contact with the rotor. Look for visible signs of damage like cracks, breaks, or deformations in the holder. A damaged holder can cause unstable voltage, power surges, or your generator failing to generate electricity altogether. To remove the existing brush holder assembly from your generator, refer to your user guide for detailed instructions. It may involve removing a cover or access panel to reach it. Use a nut driver or suitable tool to disconnect the assembly from the rear-bearing carrier and any connected wires. Remember to magnetize the brush assembly and conduct a generator test after installing the new one. Please keep in mind that this authentic OEM part is sold individually.

Carberator gummed up from sitting in storage. Fuel gone bad in the tank
5 of 5 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Robert from BATON ROUGE, LA
  • Really Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Pliers, Socket set
With a 12-in-one nut screwdriver I removed the two bolts holding the breather cover and air filter. Then I used about a 9/16 deep socket ratchet to remove the nuts holding the breather housing to the carburetor assembly studs. A pair of needle nose pliers was used to disconnect the throttle then I wriggled the breather cover away from t he carburetor so I could get to the fuel line. I managed to pull the fuel line off the carburetor and from the shut-off valve at the tank. The carburetor slid freely and easily off the carburetor studs and I was careful not to damage the carburetor gasket since none came with the new carburetor. I used a single edge razor blade to free the gasket from the old carburetor. A very small amount of silicone lube was used on the gasket and then I sandwiched the old gasket between the carburetor intake and the new carburetor and attached the throttle connection. Before beginning the reassembly I unscrewed the shut-off valve from the tank and used a funnel to drain the very old fuel into a 5-gallon bucket. I made sure the valve was clean by spraying carburetor cleaner through it and did the same with the old fuel line, making sure everything was clear of any obstruction. Then replace the breather assembly back over the carburetor studs, snugged the nuts back on and then replaced the air filter and cover. I re-attached the fuel line to the fuel valve and the carburetor, added a half gallon of clean fresh fuel and was ready for a smoke check. Pulled the starter rope three times with the choke full on, then turned to half-choke and the puppy started right off. I then turned the choke completely off and the engined purred along. I then exercised the generator by plugging in and running a number of power tools for about 15 minutes. Followed standard shut off procedures and the generator is ready for use. Saving the old carburetor to be cleaned and held on reserve for the future. Might want to have another gasket handy or some gasket material should it have to be replaced in the future.

Dry rotted rubber

  • James from PICAYUNE, MS
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
Put some dish soap on the rubber, push into the tank hole, slip 1x2 into the handle of the tank and over the new part and pry down pushing it into the hole. Took about 2 minutes.

old valve dripped gas when opened on cold sub zero day
4 of 7 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Alan from RADFORD, VA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 1- 2 hours
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
old valve easily pulled out with screwdriver and pliers

install difficult due to 40 degree cold temp and bushing didn't want to squeeze into fuel tank hole

install required lots of liquid soap on bushing, which popped into place by using upward prying pressure from 3"X24" plywood braced into under-shelf of gas tank
