Generac GC8000e float bowl bolt

[Dough041]

My luck, when draining the float bowl and old gas, I inadvertently “lost” the float bowl bolt. I was able to swap a float bowl bolt from my westinghouse 3400 psi pressure washer. My question is what float bowl bolt is a replacement for either. I guess its apparently a popular bolt. It has the number 8.8 stamped on the bottom.
Surprisingly ( or not lol) neither owners manual describes the engine that is used in either machine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

GC8000E doesn't pull up as a model, however GP8000e does, and it shows the carburetor having a fuel shut off solenoid on the bottom instead of the bolt.
So if I were you I'd take that bolt to the hardware store and match one up.
8.8 is the strength class grade

Thanks…yes I mistakenly put in the 8.8… it is a 10mm hex and the owners manual lists it as GC8000E lawn edger. Also its has a sticker with the model of LER1135GMNG? I thank you for any help. New to the forum…thanks again.

Hi Doug041,

Welcome.

Some important things to remember:

Is provide us the product label information so we can assist you better. If help with the engine on a machine is needed, we need the information off of the engine label or numbers that have been stamped somewhere on the engine or its covers.

As you may now realize, this could have easily been misinterpreted as a possible generator and not and edger.

Hi Scrubcadet10,

I have notice that Generac and DR trimmer along with others have been adding a bunch of consumer product lines. Competition is getting tougher for a lot of companies to carry much more than their same old stuff.
