Blast,

Most generators have Briggs engines, so check their website for technical manuals. For Kohler engines you can get very detailed tech manuals online for free. I haven't checked but Briggs probably has something similar. You will need to know the model number for your engine though.

My folks in Kingwood certainly got a lot of use out of their genny, and mentioned that it was leaking a little oil from somewhere. Always good to have a tech manual for the engines you own. They will get you out of many bad situations.
