- My neighbor has my old 4 KW generator. (I should have sold it to someone much further away.) The tapped hole in the Al head to connect the muffler corroded so badly I don't see an easy way to fix it.

- how about just drilling out the hole and putting a helicoil in it? Seems kind of extreme to get rid of a working generator because you can't hang the muffler on it :-) Best, rkg (Richard George) ___

- I share your view on replacing a working generator even though it's almost 20 years old and doesn't owe anybody anything. It's a 3/4" hole and I don't think I'm equipped to handle one that large. Als

- And the truck needs a portable generator to let you take the TIG welder over to the neighbor's to fix his generator... _______________________________________________ Shop-talk mailing list http://au

- Seriously, there actually is a cheap solution. There's a torch-welding product that's been around for decades - when I saw and bought it in 1970 or so it was called "Lumiweld". It's not too hard to w

- While I've never used the low temp aluminum weld rod product, I know of folks that like it. For this issues though, I'd thread a male pipe into the corroded hole, then weld a fillet around the joint
