I have a 5.0 KW Westerbeke 5.0 BGE generator in my 1986 32' sedan flybridge. The generator did not work when I bought the boat 8 month ago. I decided to see if I could get it running. I replaced fuel pump, fuel filters, spark plugs, checked oil, etc. Amazingly it turned over right away, but didn't start. I used some starter fluid and it would start and run for a few seconds. So I am assuming the carburetor is fouled. I want to remove it to rebuild or replace it, but I can't figure how to remove it.
Has anyone done this or know where I can find instructions on how to get it off.

Re: Removing carbureator
Most gas powered marine generators have electric fuel pumps. If yours does you need to make sure it is powering up while cranking. A test light will tell you if you have power to it.
