Maybe, maybe not on that 1 hour.Yeah, 174 lb too much to deal with.
That's why I'm driving down there, and they'll get it done in
1hr. Worth it to me. Cheaper than back surgery.
I'll be careful not to flood it when starting, though.
IMO, you should do it yourself as that is how you learn how do deal with future problems. I didn't even know the basics about my generator a month ago, I didn't even know it reported trouble codes or anything. And now, a month later, I feel like I am an expert on it, especially after getting it to run perfectly. Now, I feel like I can handle any problem with it that comes up.
BTW, I did some modifications on mine to make it MUCH easier to work on. I removed the starter solenoid to just outside the generator (I had to make some wires a bit longer) and got rid of the bracket for the control board. Now, it takes minutes instead of an hour or so to work in that area around the fuel pump or to remove the control board, measure voltages, etc.
