Generac Guradian Generator

[tuna_fisher]

I just got a toyhauler with a Generac and was wanting to adjust the valves, can someone tell me how you access the squirrel cage or the crank to turn the engine over to set TDC.? The trailer is a 2005 gen is 3600 watts 4700 series,Thanks.

Well it's broke so I'm fixing it. It had a broken rocker arm that the guy welded and it didn't hold. Got a new arm today in the mail. So I need to replace it asap and the valves will need to be adjusted, hence this post. Nice to hear your happy with your Generac as I've heard more negative than good, but that's what I got so I'm going with it. I got a Honda 2K but being to turn on and off from inside would be nice when it's cold and wet and I don't have to go outside and pull on a rope!!!

That's what Ive come up with, don't see any other way. And of course I'll pull the plug.

pull the spark plug first.
