    Little white box on pc board came loose just like this one in the vid. Pulled connector off pc board, removed the 2 black wires, taped them together, and connected the others back to the board. Works great now. Yellow light does blink constantly…but my generator runs, and I have electricity! Thanks a million!!! Those 2 screws under the sticker were a PITA. 😂

    Could you have just cut the green/yellow wire ? It’s the same as disabling the low oil cut off. I am told that works but never tried it.

    • @thesmallenginerepairguy
      @thesmallenginerepairguy 10 днів тому

      Honestly, not sure. The research I did was this method so thats what I stuck with.

      @57haldir 10 днів тому

      I called Westinghouse and so far they have not had any calls as to this defect. I told them to expect some because people are still recovering from the hurricane. I also ordered a spare. I plan to take it apart and see if the resistors and capacitors are loose and perhaps add some boot glue to strengthen the unit. Just experimenting. Finally, I figured that this must be caused by vibration so before I even run the generator, I unfastened it from the frame and I’m going to suspend it horizontally from either some string or rubber bands. Perhaps if you isolate the vibration and keep it horizontal, it might mitigate against this defect. Just a thought. I haven’t proven it yet but that’s my plan. Thanks for your video and for your reply. 👍🏻

  • @tntphillipians4134

    • @thesmallenginerepairguy
      @thesmallenginerepairguy 17 днів тому

      @tntphillipians4134 that's probably a different issue. Spray gas in the intake and try to start it. If it starts up for a couple seconds, you have a fuel/carburetor issue.

    That CO sense garbage is dumb. I'm not running my damn generator in my house lol. I had it under a carport during hurricane Francine last night and it kept cutting out. I had to put it in my backyard where the wind was whipping through to get the damn thing to run.

I was thinking it needed a major overhaul and was looking to replace it with an electric-powered one like Greenworks or something similar. I'll take a crack at fixing this one before I jump into something else. Thanks for this valuable info.

    Great repair video especially where you show the magic air/fuel mixture screw location. You may want to mention about richening it until it runs rough or 4 stokes, then lean it just until it runs clean again. No leaner. That's the sweet spot. Thanks

  • @PainterD54

    I've been just adding a couple ounces of Seafoam in my engines for storage and it's been working fine for the past 30 years or so. I never have dirty carbs on my motorcycles, snowblowers, lawnmowers or chainsaws since I started using it. It keeps all the fuels systems clean and is an excellent fuel stabilizer during long term storage and I always use 87 octane pump gas. I have never drain carbs or used the non-alcohol fuel during storage. I do shut off the fuel incase a needle valve sticks open, but that's the only thing I do. Works for me!

    Thank you! This is my exact model. Similar to others comments. mild CT winters , new blower , only used once last March, drained tank in the spring. still managed to clog. I did see some saw dust in the carb bowl, its stored right next to my table saw. Have to get back to following the fueling instructions my dad taught me when I was 10. wipe around cap area before filling! Runs now, a little rough, have to adjust carb in warmer weather. Will get the job done if I need it before spring. Thanks again and may God bless you!
