I was given a Parmac S5000 gas generator last month by a friend going into a nursing home. He was given the generator six years before that but said it never ran right. His wife's brother bought the generator new a few years before that but also said it never ran right. Lucky me right?
The Jaguar 9hp engine over runs like the governor is bad. The governor shaft will turn 360 so I decided to repair or replace the governor shaft or governor itself.
I got the engine and the governor separated about two inches but that all. I can't get the engine shaft to let go the governor shaft. The outside bearing you can see in the photos has separated but the shafts are still together.
I've worked it loose by tapping on the cases but now I worried I'll damage the plastic fan blades on the governor shaft. In one photo the plastic is getting torn so I stopped.
Has anyone had trouble separating two shafts? I expected a key to fall out and the shafts free.
