I was the repair agent for Kipor in Cairns Australia. Sometimes they take forever to start after a carb service. Biggest fault they had was being overloaded and blowing inverter boards. Most were not worth repairing. Used properly they are a great generator.
Thats the problem I had with the inverter board. Used it for four years camping, then it took a dump. Not cost effective to repair. Purchased off of Ebay NIB in 2003 . No Kipor dealers in Arizona so said byebye to it and replaced it with a Generac.
Watching your videos are therapeutic for me for some reason... Good on you getting that little guy running again.. One thing to mention, I've noticed in my years that the fan you have on that space heater could introduce a lot of THD in to the system when measuring.. Was still less than 3%, but sometimes those fans are "noisy."
I would have powered up freecad and 3d printer and made the tube with spring grooves from TPU. Would this not survive the hydrocarbon/heat environment?
Am learning more and more about these small engines. Your systematic evaluation and "treatments" of the problems becomes more and more valuable. I have a 5K watt generator that needs an overhaul and I am ALMOST ready to tackle the beast!1 LOL. Maybe I need to watch just a FEW more of your excellent videos. MANY THANKS!!
Real detective going on this one. I could have worked on that for a month, and likely it would never have worked right. Learn something from almost every single video. 👍
In addition to the rubber hose, don’t forget that when you compared the two carburetors, you found a screw that needed some major adjusting! And in doing so, the engine performed much better. At any rate James, with a keen eye and continued perseverance, you were able to fix the engine. 👍
Thank you James. My KGE1000 Ti had stopped running, and after cleaning the carb & jets (blocked) then reassembling, just as you showed, generator now working better than ever. I've never touched a carb before so your walk through was excellent. THANKS !!!
Kipor had US operations based in salt lake City Utah but they closed down many years ago. Aftermarket parts can still be had since many of them If not all of them are made overseas. I did a video on the 3000w model they're actually Not too bad I would say on the same level as a champion. Great fix again James!
I was a dealer on these machines back in 2005, good machines in the beginning then it got to where i had to fix them and get them running right out of the box wether it as a carb or charging issue, i was in washington state, and would get parts in portland Oregon , and then Toronto Canada, got to the point they ere not selling , and started selling Briggs and Stratton generators,when they work they are a good machine
@@Bassguitarist1985 mine had the caster wheels on it, rolled real easy, was the best Kipor generator out of all the units i had, i even had the 2k ith the built in spot light on it, great floor model, worst model to sell the 2k inverter and non inverter ere the most popular in my area, then the Yamaha propane suitcases became the units to have, i atch your channel also
i will look for new videos every day for each time that i watch your videos i learn something new so i will for ever watch all that i can to learn more thanks a lot Sir
We have a Kipor KGE3000Ti, but I can't even remember when we bought it. LOL I was actually out to buy a Honda 3000i ES, but came across this one, where the sports store just wanted to get rid of it because it wasn't selling and they wanted to rearrange the store. It has very few hours on it as I just keep it for any emergency power outages. I do run it every couple of months, for about 20 mins and when shutting down, I just turn off the gas valve and let it empty the bowl. It has been really good.
Got mine in a box in pieces. A friend said if you can’t fix it throw it away. Carb float needle was damaged by old fuel. Lucky to get new carb. Ran fine. Used synthetic oil since it only holds about a cup full. Drain carb and empty all fuel out by turning genny upside down if not used.
For oil sucking you can usually find used but good condition suction units on ebay and the like from ambulances, they work great and go for aprox $50 shipped, makes it easy for cars and gennys alike. Love the videos, thanks for them all as theyve helped me a ton James, really appreciate it
Awesome job finding the root cause which I’m sure was what happened with the original carb. I’m working on a 1955 Sears and Robuck trash pump that was given to me with a B&S 14FB engine. The piston was stuck on what looked like a sort of rebuild. I ordered a new piston and gaskets. Can’t wait to see how it runs. Thanks!
I feel like I could do one of these now after seeing you do a few, if I had all those little tools, anyway I get plenty of enjoyment just watching you fix them....Javi G.
Nice repair, and relatively simple and straightforward too. We'll never know for sure, but it's entirely possible that setting that needle valve properly was the only thing it needed. As to my own repair, I replaced the starter rope and used a bolt to hold the reel in. Now that part is working okay but the engine refuses to start. My next move might be to check that needle valve setting against the original in case I have a similar problem. Edit: If that doesn't work, I may try swapping the main jet into the first replacement carb which I bought and see if that works, since it did sort-of work for a while.
Nice video and sleuthing for this machine! You had me in suspense at the end of the video, just waiting for you to apply an on-off label for the choke. LOL
I agree. But surely the air hose shrank on the original carburetor. While the plugged pilot jet was on the replacement carburetor from the manufacturer's representative . The "new" carb was actually used! "just a little debris in the float bowl and moderate varnish" says Mr Condon. Gee thanks, Kipor for sending out only a "moderately" used one. So really, the original carb is fine, leaving only the dud shrunk air hose as the real cause of failure. So, if I've got this straight, if James had caught the shrunk air hose during disassembly, that's all that needed replacing, and only a 20 minute video would have been required.
@@BillMalcolm-tn3kq Probably since it sat in my basement for years, long enough for varnish to develop until the fuel in the carb evaporated completely
No thats not it, if that was the case the studs would had been too short. More likely that tube was made from a material that heatshrunk over time. You can tell by the ripple caused by poor filtering of the inverter output that this is a cheapened down version of a Honda EU1000.
Great video! I see the Kipor units for sale once and a while, needing repair and selling for cheap. Great to know that it seems like Honda/Honda clone parts, if needed. It looks fairly well built.
Brilliant video Jim and Kipor were popular generators here in the UK and often found in commercial use with CEE Form 16amp socket modification on both the 1000 & 2000w variants That was a lovely clean and well looked after machine
I've seen several of these little guys around me recently all nonrunning. Glad to see they are similar to the little hondas. Might pick one up to mess with if the price is right.
James do you really think that a repair shop would go to that extent to fix the carb ? Or would they say it’s not worth the effort ? A perfectly good machine would be trashed ! Your amazing ! Wish they had a James Condon in Rockland County !
Great work Jim... You're still have the best hands Iv'e ever seen. I see you now use micro bits or precision gauge burnishing tools for your jet servicing. Your hands move like a neuro surgeon buddy... Is the replacement carb body, slightly longer in its standoff?
I have a 3500 Watt China generator that's similar, and had the same problem even after cleaning, then replacing the carburetor. I spent hours tearing it down to replace the fuel pump, and it still didn't run right. So I feed it with an external gravity tank now. Runs perfect.
What actually causes harmonic distortion? Some of the open frame generators you have repaired have great THD but most do not and the inverter generators as a rule have very good THD. I love your videos.
Rough answer: Harmonics are integer multiples of 60 hz that you _don't_ want mixed in with the 60 hz that you do. Eg a bell has a rich tone due to harmonics not present in a tuning fork's sound. A non-inverter makes harmonics due to various imperfections in rotor and stator plus slightly irregular per rev rotational speed of one lung engines: the bell is easier and cheaper to make than the tuning fork but not as good for setting up a piano. Inverters avoid the harmonics by making DC, which drives an electronic 60hz oscillator, where imperfections are much easier to design out.
Great video as always, always learn something. I have a Honda EU2000 which, like you said, is very similar to that one. Thanks for sharing your expertise. 👍👍
James I would have cut a spare piece of tube and cable tied it in the case for the next person to find.......when they needed to do the same repair sometime...!
Nice video. I have a Kipor just like that one, just the 220v version. it has been working good for me although it takes a few pulls when it has been sitting over winter
The drain line on the bottom of the carburetor. If you rotate it upside down. Then open the drain screw. You can see the fuel level of the float bowl. You can use this trick while the engine is running.
Aesthetic design that purrs when properly tuned. The low-Watt market likely transitioned to more solar/battery options when this brand was introduced? If so, that would have definitely impacted sales.
Thumbs up, great video, i have not seen a Kipor in Years, worked on several of them a few years ago, fixing what your fixing,had a good time getting parts myself
I have the 2.0 version of that & a Blue(later) version of that & the yellow one has dramas with the little flapper valve(reed?) where it empties the Fuel Tank & fills the Engine up with Petrol!
I agree with the hose part, probably worked for those few years perfectly the rubber shrunk a little over time, just enough to cause it to run lean and stall out.
Nice work. I like that you don’t edit out your “mistakes”. I do dumb stuff like mixing up fuel lines all the time. Will you be returning the unit to your friend in Canada?
Been waiting to see you learn to rebuild the stator. Knock out old windings, put in new paper, make new windings. Lol. I watch a little Chinese girl on youtube does motors, pumps, generators. My wife hates when I watch it. I find it interesting as hell. She does it without saying a word. She adds some text. Don't speak Chinese anyways. Lol.
Your diagnosis sounds great but the question is, why did it run great for 3 years and suddenly start surging. Did that pipe look like it was shrunken to you? Maybe a heat issue? Thanks for a great video James.
Possible reasons the tube was too short. Additional spacer under the carb? Carbs are different heights? The tube shrunk? Wrong from the manufacturer? JIS screws, never know for sure when you are going to run into them. I keeps some bits ready.
That is a beautiful and good little generator and this was another excellent video. Was that silicone tube too short because of difference in the replacement carburetor? Kipor generators are sometimes seen on construction sites here in Germany. Thanks, Jim. Have a pleasant and peaceful weekend.
A proper fix from James, as always. Could the intake air tube have shrunk after maybe being exposed to chemicals like starter fluid/carb cleaner, etc. back when the owner tried to fix it earlier in its life? Potentially, it could also have shrunk due to age.
I finally caught you in a mistake. At @35:52 you said you were going to “emit” the spring clamps, the word you needed to use was omit. Other than that a perfectly fine video. As usual.
I wonder if the oil could have fouled the plug during transport and after you ran it and cleared the oil on your test run if it would then have run on just fuel. It would have been worth trying again because a lot of smoke did come out on the ether test start.
Actually it is on loan from someone. But if you google Amprobe ACDC-52NAV you will find it on Amazon and a bunch of other places. Think I have a link in the video description.

I was the repair agent for Kipor in Cairns Australia. Sometimes they take forever to start after a carb service. Biggest fault they had was being overloaded and blowing inverter boards. Most were not worth repairing. Used properly they are a great generator.
Thats the problem I had with the inverter board. Used it for four years camping, then it took a dump. Not cost effective to repair. Purchased off of Ebay NIB in 2003 . No Kipor dealers in Arizona so said byebye to it and replaced it with a Generac.
I noticed the lack of a circuit breaker on the output. By design it should not be possible to overload any generator, let alone an "intelligent" one.
@@gregclarke6419 thats correct and would save so many generators.
