I don't have a drain plug for the oil, so the only way I can change the oil is by extraction pump. Thats a first for me. I also can't get to the fuel filter, no room for the deep socket or a ratchet. I guess I'll have to pull the generator out to replace the fuel filter someday.
At least the fuel out of the pump looks clean, hoses look okay. But, I'm really missing my old Onan 5500. Much easier to service. Never had a single cylinder Onan though, I wonder if their design is any better? This Generac 40G is a pain to work on. Its going to be difficult to disconnect the wiring and fuel line to pull it, there is very little access.
