Review on πŸ”§ Optimized Generac 5721 Portable Maintenance Kit for Advanced 992cc Engines by Greg Mcnealey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Genuine OEM parts at an affordable price.

Great kit! I bought this kit to service an older Gaurdian 15kw portable, M# 0045821, with a 992cc engine. It includes the original Generac 070185E oil filter which is an enhanced/upgraded filter 070185B required in the manual. It also includes the original Generac 0D9723 air cleaner element (the air cleaner itself costs more than this kit, which really makes this kit a no-brainer). The kit also includes 2 original Champion RC14YC4 spark plugs. I'm not sure about this part. Manual calls for RC14YC spark plugs up to .030" gap. I think the RC14YC4 fork should be spaced up to .040". I need to do some homework on this and update. The kit also comes with a shelf pack that goes straight into the bin because that's all there is, but that's another story. It also included a laundry towel or similar but I was distracted by the fact that this set had original parts at this price point. This makes it easier for my customers to get what they want at a better price. Edit: I called Generac to verify the spark plug number and clearance. The RC14YC4 yoke replaces the RC14YC yoke but the gap remains at 0.030 as per the owner's manual.

Pros
  • Good performance
Cons
  • Some flaws
