I recently received a used generator. The fuel cap underside is horribly corroded and the tank smells like varnish. I immediatly noticed that the gas valve has been off, good thing. I talked to a few Honda dealers and everyone says the tank is unavailable, and the carb is likely gummed up to. Well I pulled the air cleaner cover sprayed in some ether, 1st pull it fired right up and I was able to get it to run a few seconds and it immediatly powered a drop light with no problem.
So my question is, if I can not get a replacement fuel tank , can I retrofit a metal / plastic outboard motor fuel tank to fuel generator??? I know it will not be siiting on top of generator but will be on ground nearby with hose feeding fuel to carburetor ... Has Anybody done this?
