oil change on my Yamaha Powerstroke 3100

I put 10w 40 oil in my engine before reading the manual that read to use 10w30, but since I only use my pressure washer in the summer months, I am just wondering if that will be ok?
 

Troybuilt 7800 generator 220V not working

This generator runs a 110V grinder great, but not the 220V stuff. First I tried to run the 3hp radial arm saw, then a 220V air compressor. It wouldn't run either. My son has a Troybuilt 5500. It started to take the load of the radial arm saw, but tripped the power switch. It ran the compressor fine. I tested the voltage, the 220 outlet has 108V at one leg and 7V at the other leg. Same with the two 110V outlets. One outlet is 108V, the other is 7V. I can't find a manual, or any troubleshooting for this problem. I'm thinking it's not the alternator itself, but wires or switches carrying the power. Not sure how to get to the back side of the switches. Any help would be appreciated.

B&D Generator -Bad Idle Control

I’ve got a ‘1990ish’ Black&Decker Mod. 3640 generator that needs an idle control—any ideas on direction to go to find one?

Old Briggs & Stratton engine (pre-1990ish)

Engine is combined with a Black & Decker generator: engine model number:190432 type:0855–01 code:77022210 —— is there any owner’s manual-type info available anywhere for the engine?

Flying machine prime pump to continue running

Hello, I have a 200cc 2 stoke using a Walbro WB that will
only cold start when I pump the primer bulb until the engine warms up. After the engine warms up a bit, it runs very well and starts without a hitch. The fuel line is good as well the primer. Carb is all sealed up no vacuum leaks. No blockage of the fuel passages. 
Thanks, Greg.

Hinda HS828

Good afternoon. I have a honda HS828. It will not start(pull start only). I shoot it with starting fluid and it runs excellent. Carb has been cleaned twice. Valves checked for proper adjustment. I am at a loss.

Need help diagnosing mower issue. Lx279 John Deere.

I've got an LX279 John Deere. (Engine KAWASAKI FD501V)
That won't start. The (gear) in my New Starter Motor won't connect to my flywheel gear ~ to turn my mower over.
Things to note: I have to wedge needle nose plyers against my Ground terminal and Positive Terminal on my starter soulinoid, to make the gear in my starter motor spin.
My ECU does not light up unless I do this ;along with my other
Idiot lights. ( Don't know what that's about)
My ignition Boxes both have two exposed wires
( See picture below.)

Really I don't know or understand what's up with my mower.
I'll submit pictures that way, my problem is more clear.

Messed up pull start & flywheel bolt- Toro 36 Mower & Kawasaki Motor

Bad day for me & the mower-
 
My pull start broke, so I took it off & restrung it. For some reason, I can't line the holes up on the assembly, I am assuming because I rotated the flywheel.
 
I couldn't find a video that says how to put the pull start back in
 
I still needed to mow the yard, so I tried starting the motor with a drill & broke the flywheel bolt.
 
 
What do I need to do to fix this?
 
How do I line up the flywheel with the starting assembly & the bolt holes?
 
I also prob need a bolt extractor to get the broken bolt out of the flywheel. It's going to be tuff, because i tightened the hell out of it before i broke it. 
 
 
I attached photos. Please let me know what i can do to fix this situation 
 
I put detailed photos
