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.

there should be some kind of coupling over both shafts where they meet and on this coupling should be some set screws/grub screws remove them and using a pry bar try to pry them apart depending on the age of the unit they could be rusted together quite well try spraying it with wd-40 and let it soak in before attempting to pry it apart hope this helps
