I am converting a gasoline generator to a natural gas generator and I need to remove the carburetor to convert it. I do not have the proper tools to remove the studs holding it in place. I am hoping some one can help me out.
10-28-08 Taking those studs out is tricky. My go-to trick is take two high-strength nuts, put them both on the stud, and crank them together (basically, hold one, and screw the other down to it). REALLY hard! If you can get them to line up, great, use a deep well socket or box end, if not, use a wrench to turn the stud out. The idea is that the two nuts are so tight against each other that they grip the threads of the stud and it turns w/ the nuts. Caveat: some are pressed in, and don't have threads, but are knurled to keep them in. Best bet is to lop them off w/ a dremel, drill them out, and re-tap.
(1) Remove the air filter and housing (2) Loosen the cable bracket (3) Remove the throttle and choke cables from the carburetor (4) Remove the governor spring from the carburetor (5) Remove the two bolts that fasten the carburetor to the engine. CAUTION: Do not stretch or bend the governor spring while removing or re-installing.
No, never oil the carburetor linkage. Clean the linkage throughly with carburetor cleaner. If you oil the linkage it will become clogged with dust which the oil will attract.

It is a 2-cycle 4HP Briggs motor.
You need to either adjust your carburetor richer or leaner while at full throttle.
A Briggs and Stratton 17.5 horsepower engine can use any type of small engine motor oil. A heavy duty motor oil is recommended.
For a Briggs and Stratton motor 3.5 motor used straight gas and oil in the crank-case, there is no ratio.
