My friend Jason was cleaning out a garage and came across an older Powermate generator built in the 80s. The run status is unknown, but it appears that it was well taken care of. Will this old 8hp Briggs run?

https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/jamescondonYTI no longer use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. 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. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results.
