Was working on one of these yesterday, on a Coleman generator. I was cleaning an ugly cab and changing the oiI. removed the oil drain plug and along with the oil, came out a rocker arm pivot pin, with clip.

The customers son bought it new, never been apart. I guess someone dropped it on the assembly line and didn't retrieve it?

Sounds sorta like this one where someone intentionally put it in there.

I suspect this happens more often than we know.

What did your customer say when you told him?

He didn't seem phazed one way or another. I did tell him that it looked like a valve train or governor part, and that it obviously wasn't critical.
