Delco Generator

I am beginning to look at a Delco I acquired about two years ago. The tag says Service number 4051, Model 8XB3, 32V, 800 Watt, 25 AMP, 1750 RPM. It has a Zenith carb and is painted blue.

What age is it, what oil is used in engine, and what is correct spark plug?

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Ken;

The information I have is as follows:

The bulletin I have is dated 3/27/36 and it shows the 8XB3 a "32 volt hand operated battery charging engine-generator."

Another bulletin dated 4/15/44 lists the 8XB3 with--carburetor-- speed control, Delco-Light battery--ignition, Delco-Light battery--output at generator, 21 amps @ 38 volts--AC spark plug #46--Jet size #17--Throat 17/32"--fuel capacity, 5 gallon--fuel consumption hours per gallon, 4 KWH--oil capacity, 4 pints--oil comsumption pints in 24 hours, .6--engine horse power, 1.3--bore 2-9/16"--storke 2-9/16"--piston clearance,.0025--valve adjustment,.010--speed in RPM 1650 to 1800.

If you need any more information let me know.
