Drained the Rotella 15W40 with 4.8 hours on it and dumped in a quart of Castrol Power V twin 20W50 motorcycle oil. Good to go for the rest of duck season.

Good call. I’ve seen how much Rotella foams and I wouldn’t use it for anything more than a “rinse oil” similar to the way you did. What made you choose the moto oil for it?
This generator gets worked hard and I firmly believe in only 40 and 50 wt for an air cooled engine, no 30 wt
That’s quite a bit of hours
. Have you used Delo exclusively in that JD?

It’s beautifully warm here in Central Iowa today.
I don’t recall when I changed the oil in my snow blower or my generator, so i did both today.
I use Royal Purple only because I can see it on the dipstick, whereas Valvoline is too clear for my weak eyes.
The one quart took care of both machines.

I wanted some garage time today so the auction find Honda EX 800 generator got the once over. I had it running before but the governor wouldn't respond. Pulled the carb and repaired the binding throttle shaft. Ran it on a 600w load for a while and adjusted the frequency then gave it an oil change. Out old who knows what and whatever I topped it with to fire it up initially last year. In, auction score oil, Love's brand 5W-30. SN plus/ SP rated for less than a buck a quart. Looks to be a Citgo made product. Reviving this beastie has been enough fun to be well worth the purchase price.
Broke out one of the collection and had to clean the points to get it running again. Lauson model RSC. Nice little runner, out who knows, in Harvest King 30.
I have the same genny. Great unit. Starts on half a pull.
Love these old engines!
