Replace GENERAC generator in a Gulfstream
I have a 2001 Gulf Stream with a Generac 55G generator that has an obsolete carburetor for the Briggs & Stratton engine. All I've been able to find is a new expensive retro fit replacement for it. ...

My 1st post so I’m probably doing something wrong, and I’m uncertain how to address this to the OP.
Anyway I’m trying to see if OP was able to solve his problem. I have the same genset with the same B&S V Twin engine....still get most parts but some, like carb are obsolete.
My carb was also gummed and not working when I got my new to me MH...2002 Newmar.
I was able to repair carb and get unit running, but now I have hard start issues due to what I think is low compression. I’m trying to weigh repair vs replace engine, but I’m unable to find a compatible replacement.
Unit has 525 hrs according to meter, so I think it would be economical to replace whole engine. But other then model # I have no hp specs on engine. Local small engine shop was no help.....#303775-0110-01.
Anybody know a source for replacement engines?
Thanks in advance
