Removing engine from generator

You cannot just pry it off...this model has a tapered shaft...

first remove the plastic cover underneath...then disconnect the wires and set the cover aside..loosen the center bolt that clamps the rotor to the crankshaft (loosen but dont remove...just thread it out approximately 3/16-1/4 inch) and use an automotive alternator/power steering pressed on pulley removal/installer tool to put pressure on the bolt and pop the taper loose..the ridge on the rotor is the right size for this type of puller tool....you may need to put the puller really tight and tap the end of it to break tension...you''l hear a "pop" when the taper lets go and then its simply a matter of removing the tool and unthreading the bolt ....set the rotor aside and then there is just three bolts to remove the engine.

I assume that you have taken the obvios bolts out. in the end of the gen there should be a cap dead center. remove. there should be a bolt that run through and threads into the crank shaft of the motor.remove. then it should be a simple matter of light and equal prying
