    Hi! I'm the new owner of a Solar 500cp in great condition with original glass.
    The problem ehat i have is that i can't get the fuel upp to the generator. Appears to be stuck the bottom valve. How to remove it and clean. The only place i get the fuel out from tank is through the NRV :( that should be able to fix.
    Cheers,

    Managed to unstuck it. Soaked with ATF/Acetone and presure through pump as much as i could with my little air compressor. After few attempts is started comming air from tank. IMG_20220617_231214.jpg IMG_20220617_231233.jpg
