- In "Ronnie's Shed Of Horrors", the first installment of Taryl's October Halloween fright fest 2022, local scammer Ronnie decides to open his own haunted house - only to have it go horribly wrong!
After the intro (and before the ending) Taryl goes over this garbage picked generator he came across whilst out pickin'. Is this thing worth fixing or should it had just stayed in the garbage and not even worth the hassle? Be sure to check out this entire scare-larious halloween how-to for all the laughs and scares it has to offer! Oh, and you just might learn something along the way too!
And There's Your Halloween Dinner!! Muaaahahahahahaha!!!

Looked up that generator and it's a brushless model that uses a capacitor. The capacitor has probably started to fail hence the low voltage. If you didn't pitch it yet, put a new capacitor in it and adjust the RPM back down and it will probably work like new.
James Condon is an excellent channel to check out for repairing generators. From what I've learned is the RPM adjusts the 60 HZ frequency, and there's a regulator on the power head that allows you to adjust the voltage level. You need to put the rpms back to 3600, and find the regulator to adjust the output voltage.
I kept one of those running constantly for a week to keep my freezer running after a tornado knocked out electricity. Honestly worth the $99 I paid for it. It's still runs to this day and that was several years ago.
Hey Carol I hope you see my comment here but the problem with your little generator if you haven't thrown it out is not the capacitor there are two windings in this generator and attached to each end of the winding are diodes one of your diodes is open I had the same exact problem on a Chinese built generator and what I did was I ended up tearing the generator apart pulling the Armature out and carefully breaking loose the encapsulated diodes in clear resin isolating each diode by unsoldering them then check the diode one was good one was bad that's why you only had half the voltage that you needed at the specified RPM I took the diodes out put US manufactured diodes in there at a cost of $0.10 each put the generator back together and it's worked fine ever since the Chinese use crappy Electronics on these generators just enough to make them work and I really love watching your videos I have been a professional automotive mechanic and transmission specialist for 34 years and I've tinkered with lots of lawn equipment too outboard motors anything like that but I do love watching your videos very educational we love it
Just like a Harley Davidson, all that thing is good for is converting gasoline into noise.
Love the Mustie1 references. 😁 Both your channels are great! 👍👍 Taryl should send Darren another coffee mug! I think he broke the one he used for fuel examinations. 😎
That silly little strip of foam in the middle is the filter... I found with the ones I've fixed they really need the airbox assembled so they are tuned rich enough for full load. I also found that you get maybe half of them put out a good solid 800W and others are barely able to do half that no matter what you do. For a production cost of about US $20 per unit landed the manufacturers used to include 1000 free units for every 2000 units - literally that was for expected warranty claims ex factory. Every time one came back into the shop they would just grab a new one in the box to give to the customer and put the old one out the back for spares, or in the bin - how I got my freebies... We had customers swearing they were running 1800w circular saws on these things, and then a few months later they were complaining the genset was no good and their saw had blown up too, couldn't understand that the alternator output was virtually solid square wave and both that and the saw windings were getting cooked every moment they were overloading things... Happy to have sold off mine, good for task lighting but not for anything with a motor that you care about. Trying to get the voltage up just made the hertz get way too high and out of range. That's possibly why the drill is not running well, too far out of the frequency range... Cheers from Oz.
I'm a garbage picker, all my life! Latest pick; MYD commercial wheeled edger with very little signs of wear. Cleaned carb, new pump diaphragm and spark plug. Good as new. Will probably sell it to one of the local landscapers.
Lol...my neighbor is moving and he put out a "FREE" sign and an old Toro Mower that he had sitting under a tree in the backyard for the last five years. I saw the sign and got Musty all over it and started singing that '70's song...Musties Coming...Musties Coming...yeah yeah yeah...he also put out an old wheelbarrow...I asked if I could borrow the wheelbarrow...he said, "No, you can have it"...Musties Comin'!!!
I think it was in the rubbish bin as they were banned from all tailgating events for the noise and exhaust fumes. They could have kept it if they used bacon scented 2T oil mix.
The Mustie1 reference was hilarious.Send it to James Condon to fix the generator half. lol
That was the best comedy skit to date!
Taryl Halloween Tees In Stock Now!
Fricken HILARIOUS from start to finish!!! Thanks, Taryl, got my Monday morning off to a great start. And your rendition of 'Mustie's Comin' ' is spot-on!!
Haha, Love the "Mustie's Coming" tune. I also loved the Halloween theme this week.
I look forward to Sunday's with Taryl. BTW- loved your crooning version of "Eli's Coming." 😃
one of my favorite channels on the youtubes. always interesting and decent low budget acting too
I love my little tail gator I put over 100 hours on it in a few months I haven’t even had it for a full year. I got it used after it sat at my uncles house for years and I got it running with pliers and a broom bristle. I turned the screw in till a little over 4,000 rpm because you need a smooth rpm to prevent blowing light bulbs. If you only use it for power tools you don’t need to but I run lights at the cabin and need them to not flicker cause it’s annoying so I bumped the rpm up to smooth out the engine. I also quit using the fuel tank it comes with and rigged an old tecumseh tank to it cause the metal one leaked. I love that it’s a 2 stroke be it smells good. Just don’t run TVs I blew 2 of them up but it’s fine to charge phones and run radios and lights. It’s easy to clean the carb and exhaust port. I put an NGK BP8ES it’s way better than the torch plug it comes with. The governor kinda sucks if you have a light load on it the rpms waver but under a good load they stay the same. I get like 4 1/2 hours to the gallon at 50:1 with a quality oil usually Maxima Formula K2 or Reverend Freedom Roast. I just run 87 octane with Ethanol doesnt hurt the engine non. I’ll definitely buy more of these when my engine wears out someday cause I love this unit. It’s only broken down on me a few times all I did was pop the bowl off and spray carb cleaner up the main jet and ran just fine after that. Always starts after a couple pulls and only smokes while warming up it runs perfectly. It’s very quiet I’d rate this machine at a 6/10 it would be better if it wasn’t Chinese with those crappy Chinese electrical components. I always start it and let it warm up for a few minutes before I plug anything in. If you don’t have one of these I strongly recommend that you get one cause they’re great. They make so many of these generators under different names and colors.
Taryl fixes ALLMOST everything, great video as always
We need a Halloween special. Like a 30 minute long skit. Would be excellent family fun. 👍
