My neighbor has my old 4 KW generator. (I should have sold it to someone much further away.) The tapped hole in the Al head to connect the muffler corroded so badly I don't see an easy way to fix it.

how about just drilling out the hole and putting a helicoil in it? Seems kind of extreme to get rid of a working generator because you can't hang the muffler on it :-) Best, rkg (Richard George) ___

I tried my trusty JB weld (600F) but the hot exhaust gases burned it right -- Brian C. Kennedy 2711 North Maple Road Home 734 994 5205 Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Cell 734 649 8548 Fax 734 661 5108 Email ken

Solution -- this is the ideal excuse to buy a TIG welder ;-) _______________________________________________ Shop-talk mailing list http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/shop-talk

And the truck needs a portable generator to let you take the TIG welder over to the neighbor's to fix his generator... _______________________________________________ Shop-talk mailing list http://au

Seriously, there actually is a cheap solution. There's a torch-welding product that's been around for decades - when I saw and bought it in 1970 or so it was called "Lumiweld". It's not too hard to w
