Question posted by rgrayzel on October 30th, 2012

Gasoline Leak Behind Carb

I have a HW5500E that I bought last year and used once. I went to use it for hurricane Sandy and there is a severe leak between the carburator and the engine block wall. I can not move it myself and either need to repair it at home or get a repair person to come. Is it easy to replace the gasket? If so is there an exploded view drawing I can have? If not is there an authorized Honeywell service center near Lancaster MA 01523. It is most definitely still in warrantee but I usnderstand that that is parts not labor. Thanks for your help
