BadDad 1 #1 Posted May 19, 2009 I have been looking for parts to restore my 800 special. I was on ebay & I saw the belt guard for the 8hp Briggs. So I bid & won. Paid for it with paypal. Well to my surprise a starter generator came in the mail. Now I only paid $9.95 for the belt guard. The starter generator came in broke. I have talked to the gentleman that sold me the belt guard about the generator. He is going to send me the part that I won ( belt guard ). I told him that I would keep the generator if I could find the part that is broken. I will fix it if I can find the part. So I have said all of this to ask if anyone has the back part of the generator & would sell it to me. Here is a picture of what I have, & the broken piece .

WheelHorse_of_course 99 #2 Posted May 19, 2009 Hi BadDad I haven't seen you around here for a while. This looks like a perfect test case for "JB Weld"! So far it has lived up to its wild claims for me, so maybe worth a try Best of luck :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadDad 1 #4 Posted May 19, 2009 Well I have been a little under the weather. Not anything real bad but enough to slow me down. I have heard of JB weld but I don't know if it would take the pressure & keep the belt tight. but If I can not find the back part of the gen I will try it. Thank You Donnie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don1977 604 #5 Posted May 19, 2009 BJ weld is good but not that good. Find a good alum. welder to fix that. I had he corner tab of an alum. engine block broke off had it welded by a welder that fixes alum. wheels. It's never going to look like it's never been broken, but it can be fixed to be used.

bork 0 #6 Posted May 21, 2009 I've used those soldering rods with success, But you gotta use the ones that dont have a ton of impurities in them. Maybe it's the original makers? I dont know the brand name off hand but can dig for them if your interested. I asked the guy selling them at a show, let me try & do the beer cans & carb & castings, & to my surprise, it worked great! Ive had others that didn't work worth a crap, Thats why I was so skepticle, at this guys booth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
