A local subscriber (Stanley) found this Vintage 1950s Homelite generator at the dump. It looks to be complete and despite its age in pretty good condition. It is powered by a Homelite made 2-stroke model 24A engine developed during World War II. Someone took very good care of this machine. I have worked on many generators, but nothing like this. I am not able to find a service manual or owners manual. Parts are also not available. Will it run and make power again?

Generator Model: Homelite 24A115
