Fortunately the unit is like brand new and it was fairly easy to clean the smooth surfaces. The problem was under the carburetor where there are nooks and crannies that I couldn't get to, and underneath the unit....the oil is seeping out from under there so it must be pretty well drenched. I think if I put a light degreaser on and then clean it down with minimal water and a small brush, I can probably get all of it off. It's not like a nasty dirty car engine. :) I know it blew into the generator vent holes and I wonder if I should open that area up and try to clean it better. I am going to read manual and see what I have to do to get to the brushes and stuff.
