I picked up this Honeywell generator from Craigslist. According to the seller it was in good running condition, but has been in storage for a while and will no longer start. Should be an easy fix, most likely a fuel issue. While repairing the carburetor the engine lost compression. Now the head has to be pulled off this Honda Clone 420 cc engine in order to repair the engine.
Head gasket used was left over from this project:

Generator will not start, no compression. Will have to pull the head off and lap the valves to bring compression back on this Honda Clone 420cc engine on this Honeywell 7500E generator.
