    Good tip on the Danco. Nice informative video. At the perfect level for those that already "have a clue". Thanks for posting this.

    Thank you very much I fixed my iPower SUA5000 with this video. The main needle that has like 10 litle holes were all clogged up.

    Thanks so much - same issue here, however I notice it smooths out when it warms up. My last shop class that had small engine repair was in 1983 - may be time to take a refresher.

    Spot on fix , I had no spare jet so used a wire from a wire brush but thanks for showing me the fix 👍

    I unclogged the idle jet with a litle trash bag ties, burned the plastic, and used the wire. The idle jet was 100% clogged.

    Thanks for the vid.
    Question- I’m having surging but it’s a new carb, and fresh gas in a new tank. Where should I be looking? Suggestions? Thanks

      Does it surge under load or even out?

      You ever figure this out? Going through the same thing right now. Surging under no load when I take the choke off and then stalling

    I love em when it's a Honda or Chonda with low oil cut off switches and only the oil is low because most don't read enough to see you literally fill the oil to where almost runs out. Otherwise, yep... it's the air, fuel and/or fire (fire never seen an issue) and the one rare exception was the Champion 4000W that needed the valve lash adjusted. Seems the same outside of H/Chonda'ville designs. I like my type-2 form-a-gasket also when using bad gaskets since amazes me how I can save on that expense that's really only more a time thing if in a pinch.

      I would not buy a generator with out it. Period
      Low oil shut down will save the engine

    I have a Honda powered Homelight. The only problems I've ever had with it are gunk in the bowl, courtesy of our fine legislators, and a broken governor spring (fortunately makes it run slow vs. blowing it up).

    Never a bad idea to try a larger idle jet while your in there. They are most likely jetted on the lean side from the factory.

    What do you think about a dual fuel generator that runs on propane just fine, but will not run on gasoline? What do you think might be the culprit?

  • @rickbroerman9267

    Will that spray HURT rubber seals 🦭 or gaskets? Thank you for the video 📹. I just learned something again from you my friend 😊!!!!!

    • @redneckcomputergeek
      @redneckcomputergeek  2 роки тому +2

      Long term exposer yes it would. But it is diluted to only 60% and flashes off long before harm can be done. Pure Acetone with out question will swell seals in a matter of minutes but they will shrink as it flashes off.

    Did you remove the nozzle from the first carburettor and then install it in the carburetor that you have in the generator

    The best thing to use in Generators if they're being stored is True Fuel or VP Small Engine Flue, no ethanol and it has a very long shelf life.
    Just wish it was available at the pump, at a decent price.

      Acetone burns like a mother. Unfortunately I speak from experience. Before they banned tricolor that was also some nasty stuff to come back at your face.
