Is it worth replacing the generator head? Or keep the unit for spare parts and get another one. I am quite capable of doing the repair. The unit only has 250-300 hours on it in 6 years of use. Not complaining about the longevity, just if it's worth repairing.
The simple answer is NO. To explain: given the cost of the new parts needed and the time involved along with 250-300 hours on your engine you will be money ahead to just grab a basic Champ 3500 at Tractor Supply for $299 (sale price) or $329 stock price. You also get a full one year warranty.
But...... the entire generator head (NOT parts/pieces) on virtually every 3,000 watt class Chinese generator using the GX160 or GX200 style engine will interchange. Wiring may be color coded differently but they will bolt right up. So, If you can find a Chinese genny with a bad engine for a few bucks you may want to give it a go. Craig's List is always a good place to start searching.
