Will a Cheap $40 Carburetor Breathe New Life Into This Machine? Generac LP5500 Generator

This Generac LP5500 Propane generator was dropped off to Gary's by a customer after it failed to start. Gary properly diagnosed it as a bad propane regulator. Water got into the regulator and caused a lot of damage. Although Gary got the generator to run, the regulator really needs a rebuild. Unfortunately Generac does not supply a rebuild kit. Instead Generac offers a new regulator for $300! The owner did not want to pay for the EOM part. Gary offered the option of a new brand Garretson KN regulator for less money. The still did not want to repair the generator and told Gary to keep it... Gary passed it on to me for parts or repair. Will a cheap $40 Amazon tri-fuel caruretor breathe new life into this machine? I have my doubts.

Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. #Generac #GeneratorRepair #SmallEngineRepair #SmallEngine #DIY #Fixed #Troubleshooting #HowTo #Propane 0060010, 0G8442F124, Alternator, Bad Regulator, Diaphragm, Fixed, GEN-0G8442F124, Garretson KN, Garretson Regulator, Garretson, Generac, Generator, Governor Spring, Hertz, Hipa, How To, How-To, Ignition Switch, LP3250, LP5500, Load Bank, Load Test, Propane Carburetor, Propane Conversion, Propane Engine, Propane Regulator, Propane, Regulator Rebuild, Regulator, Repair, Rustoleum Rustic Orange, SIMPLEX, Set Engine Speed, Small Engine, THD, Total Harmonic Distortion, Tri-Fuel Conversion, Troubleshooting, Won't Start
