FLtractor 61 #1 Posted September 17 Morning, First post as a supporter of the forum. Wondering how much this is realistically worth and would it fit my 856? Seller asking $25.00. What are the upside down U shape piece for? Mine doesn’t have that. Seller also has this starter generator for sale as well, worth picking that up? Seller asking $40.00. Thank you. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judging by exterior looks alone it WOULD NEED to be properly cleaned and rebuilt before usage. 3 hours ago, FLtractor said: What are the upside down U shape piece for? Mine doesn’t have that That's the original fuel line from fuel pump to carb. It's canted at an odd angle because there's no fuel pump attached. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 9,697 #3 Posted September 17 Yup - OE fuel tube. That is the correct taller air cleaner assembly for an 8 HP engine. Overall first impression - BOTH may need to be rebuilt. The 8 HP starter / generator is longer than the earlier 7 HP versions - be sure it is the correct one.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
