Parts Generator? Damaged Crankshaft, No Power, Broken Wires, Busted Carburetor, Missing Parts

A friend picked up this Generac XG8000e parts machine for only $20. According to the seller, the generator no longer makes power. My friend decided he had no use for it and passed it on to us. I took a quick look at it 2 years ago and realized there was damage to the generator and the engine and likely no repairable. This machine does not have much of a chance, but lets see if it can be saved.

First glimpse of part XG8000e back in 2024 when I stole some parts off it to save another: https://youtu.be/A7jhQpUvkAg?t=1645

The stator came from one of these Predator generators: https://youtu.be/4DNbiMLKyIw

I no longer use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results.
