I’ll check it tomorrow. Thanks!
sorry.... i wasn't knocking your generator .... either one. my comment was more that the clone engines are everywhere and most will share a commonality. some are better some are worse and could be made in the same building. i have had pretty good experiences with clones for the price. also i had a thought that the oil level might just be over full causing the problem... try running it with less oil showing on the dipstick to see if it helps???
thanks yes that is what i am talking about. try lowering the oil level on the dipstick so that it is just showing on the stick and disconnect that tube and try running it to see if the leak stops. you need to run it for a little while in this condition to let the oil that is already in the seal to escape.

the seal is a 35x52x8 the bearing is a tm6207
So I took the engine cover off and the bearings are great. The seal didn’t appear to have any issues but I’ve never messed with a seal like that before. When I pulled the engine cover off, the gasket was stuck to many places and destroyed. I had to scrape a bunch off. I think it may have done it just by me removing it. But I will be replacing that too. The valve tube was not clogged. I blew it out with my air hose. Also, I ran it last when the oil was barely showing on the dipstick and it still poured out from that spot.
I didn’t think you were. I was just saying why I chose what I did. I wouldn’t doubt of the engines and other parts are made in the same factory over there. I’ve seen other parts like that. Heck, when my dad still worked at Dayton tire he told me they made tires for a lot of different brands. They would just stick that brands name plate in the machine to attach that to the tire. I also know here in Shawnee, the Shawnee Mill makes their own flour, but they also make flour for KFC, Pizza Hut, and Surefine. A lot of people don’t know that. We would probably be really surprised how much stuff is made in the same place.
wow. i would have just pulled the seal and replaced it but that is an interesting engine internal. i hope you can source that gasket????
