I have a friend who is looking for some parts fo a 1000 watt generator made by the Zhejiang Robot Power Machinery Co., ltd in China. This generator was recently sold through Heartland America company in Chaska, MN.
Anybody got any ideas on how to get the starter recoil mechanism and the DC circuit breaker?

Good luck finding anything or getting proper after sales support from China. This is one of the points I make against purchasing cheap Chinese generators. It appears to be a great deal up front, but support afterwards is essentially non existant. Spend a few extra dollars for a product from an established and reputable manufacturer.

I suspect you will rebuild the starter recoil mechanism with whatever parts you can find or make. The circuit breaker will have to be replaced with the closest match you can find.

I have other generator information on my web page...

i already have a 1000 watt generator, i heard you can install 2 extra house dual cycle batteries 2 power your electronics but what is the best way to keep charging them and keep everything running properly , without running out of electricity over and over?

the mission impossible! When you drain the batteries, they will have to be re-charged somehow. You might look into solar panels to charge the batteries during the day. An expensive solution.

i bought a 1000 watt generator and the generator part is burned out i just wanted the engine its a 2.4 hp how do i get it apart do i beat it off or does it unscrew from the engine i have it fully took apart except for the shaft and cant figure out if it screws out and which direction it screws

It likely uses a tapered shaft to hold the rotor to the engine shaft. Remove the covers to expose the end of the rotor shaft. It should have a threaded rod which tightens into the engine shaft.
I've had to remove the rotor from a Coleman Powermate generator and have pictures on my web page.

if you don't need a really quiet one try Pep Boys

$320 w/tax for a 3500 watt (surge) generator.

"Power Pro by Wen Power" made in China.

For the money, you could by two Power Pros for the cost of one Honda and still have cash left over.

It is a taylor dunn electric utility vehicle and I want to bypass the lead-acid batteries and just power the lectric motor from something like a 1000 watt gas generator. Is this doable? if so, how may I go about doing it?

doubt if it's practical

The name on the gas tank is Yamada. But I have seen others that are identicle with the name buffalo tool. Its made in China.It runs fine I just need a new gas shut off valve!Or gaskets to repair the one I have

Check with a local machine repair shop. They'll have charts for repair parts cross-referenced with different manufacturers.

Basically a few friends and I are going to buy a generator and a work light so that we can play basketball at this school near our house whenever we want. We expect to play about 3 to 4 hours at a time, and are wondering if the generator I listed would be enough to power the work light for that amount of time. If not, then I guess we would get another backup generator.

Anyway, any other solutions for portable lighting for a playground basketball game would be greatly appreciated.

Generally generator capacity is provided in VA. One 1200 VA generator can deliver 1020 watt load at 0.85 power factor.Generally the luminares available in market do have arrangements for power factor improvement and they used to keep the power factor of 0.85. Regarding hours, there is no constraint for running hours. Only you have to pour the fuel.Your 3-4 hours is very small period and the generator will get enough cooling time. Your perday fuel consumption (1000W for 4 hours) shall be about 1.25 ltrs diesel.
You can go ahead with your proposal.

No, thank you.

I do not agree with with the answers here,An average full load amp rating for a saws-all is 10 amps.120 volts x 10 amp=1200 watts.the saw will run ,but under powering it will break down the armature and field windings and cause a failure.Either get a bigger generator or a small cheap saws-all .but check the data plate on the saw and it will tell you the amp rating.I would not run it with the equipment you describe.good luck.

You can get them at:
American Warranty Service
Their toll free number is 1-866-393-3968. They are located in Grapevine, Texas. They have every part you need for these generators and are very reasonable. I bought one from Northern Tool (ETQ) and it's the very same as the ones sold at Heartland and FingerHut made by Robot.
