What I've been working on over the past few days:



It's a Homelite 35A115 generator, circa 1957. I've had it for years but it's been sitting unused and I just got it started up this afternoon. It's a 2-stroke engine and it's still got some fuel system issues but is in essentially good health. It is a noisy bastard, through; I think the muffler is rusted out from sitting all those years. I remember it as being surprisingly quiet the last time I ran it, much like a small 2-stroke street bike.
