Great video! Exactly what I needed to know. Just bought a 3-year old with only 6-hrs run time. Same symptoms
don't forget to change the oil once you get running!
Great informative video brother
Thanks to your video today I was able to fix my generator. after 5 hours i decided to seek help and found your video. I thank you, we are already waiting for the hurricane.
If you still have time please change the oil and buy extra. Suppose to change it every 25 hours.
Stay safe! Keep me updated
Thank you , the hero. Indeed you are the hero.
You are the hero! These videos mean nothing with out people like yourself who take the initiative to DIY!
The switch..hehehe we have all been there done that. Good job Jason. Hope all is well at the Pattay household

Crazy part is...I don’t remember turning it off 🙃
I just started my (older model) Ryobi 3600/4500 watt generator, that I purchased in summer of 2017, with 4 year old 'ethanol free' gas still in it. Gas begins to naturally deteriorate after 6 months, and needs an added fuel stabilizer to store as long as 2 years. I am SHOCKED to see my generator start up and run with FOUR YEAR OLD GAS!
What I did to start it was, I flipped the fuel switch from Off to On, and then pushed the starting lever from Engine Off to Choke, and pulled the string only 4 times. IT STARTED! And then I pushed the start lever over to the smooth running position and it revved up to smooth and calm, regular fast rpms. Sounds like a mild lawnmower, loud yes, but not too loud.
Now when I use it again, I plan to keep STA-BIL 360 in the Ethonal Free gas, to truly stabilize it, while switch from old regular conventional engine oil, to Valvoline High-Mileage 10w-30 Synthetic Blend engine oil. Valvoline adds zinc and other cleaning elements to keep down engine crud from building up.
Ryobi is the real deal!
That’s awesome pre inflation, ethanol free gas was $10.00 a gallon. Did the tank seem rusty?
I use brake cleaner as starting fluid, it works just as good and it’s cheaper!
Great Tip!
Lovely jelly in the carb . Nice fix the mullet power is strong.
My favorite kind!
Thank u for this video step by step
anytime! I will take a hot dog with mustard, ketchup and saurkraut!
Great video iv forgot to turn on the switch many times lol
AJP Garden Machines...the generator is long gone but me trying to remember when i turned it off will always be remembered
Great video. Thanks
I appreciate it! Don't forget to change the oil once you get it up and running!
Need help starting mine. Changed the spark plug and cleaned out the carb and jets but will only run with brake cleaner. Anything else i can try?
Clean the carb again…you are missing something.
When you pull the carb apart does fuel come out of the bowl? If it does that means the carb is getting fuel. Just jets are clogged to getting it up into the chamber to combust.
If you aren’t getting fuel…you have blockage between carb and fuel tank.
Keep us updated
Thank you!!! I’ve learned so much and now I am hurricane ready because of you. You are awesome. MAGA 2024
Ol’ Trumpee goin’ DOWN!
I'm trying to get mine started, it's just like that one. Cleaned all the lines, brand new carburetor, new spark plug, fresh 93 octane gas. Still wont start with the switch on lol. Can those switches go bad?
Johnny Rossi58,
Yes those switches can go bad, you can by pass them temporarily!
What diagnostic steps did you take before you replaced all those parts and what were the results of them?
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel. 🇺🇸🤙🏻🦅🔧
Everyone should keep in mind that portable generators can be deadly if not used carefully ua-cam.com/video/I1jT3ANENvI/v-deo.html especially we should also keep our children safe when we’re using portable generators so they won’t get electrocuted or hurt by the generator. Everyone should be aware with the safety of using generators. Just reminding everyone to be careful with portable generators and remember not to run your generator indoors. Just reminding everyone. Thank you. Stay safe
You got it going 👍🏻 (you were just “priming” it extra😁)
I like where you are going with this :)
I like the fact that you left the 21 switch pulls in the video. That switch has gotten me more than once too. Great video. I'm having compression issues with my Ryobi generator 4500. I'm gonna run thru the things you did in yours and see what happens. I had a leaf in the gas tank some how. But I fished it out of the tank. I'm wondering what else got in there. Would that cause it to not have compression?
John Wahlers
Just trying to keep it real! Pull the valve cover and check for movement when you pull the recoil. Check gap.
Doesn’t hurt to pull plug and put a little oil down the cylinder to bump up the compression.
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
Yeah I pulled the valve cover and I had movement I don't have the gapping tool, the rockers kinda felt loose. I tried tightening them up a bit but still have no compression.
Also I have a split in the hose that goes from the valve case to the air filter. I've been trying to find a replacement part but haven't yet.
John Wahlers yikes they are cheap to own VIA HF. These motors have a compression release so using a compression tester won’t give an accurate reading.
Throw some oil down the plug hole and see if it bumps up compression. Doesn’t hurt to check for keyway in the wheel
Sorry, i couldn't follow some of what you said. VIA HF?? And the part about the key way?? Could you clarify this for me.
Nice video. I would have kept the generator on the Jack stand while siphoning the gas to the gas can since it was higher.Let gravity do the work. Great job on the explaning step by step instructions.
Arturo Valdez, you are correct about the gravity! Sometimes I get caught up in the repair and filming!
Hopefully I will remember the next time! Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
easy to drain gas. buy a marine tank hose w/o the fittings. it has a priming bulb and you can drain the gas as long as the empty container is below the level of the gas tank.
Damn! That was an Easy Start.
🤣🤣🤣
Don’t forget to....

Thanks! Can you please drop a list of tools you used
Awesome channel and video thank you
Thank you! Glad to see you commenting again!
I got 3400 ryobi it got gas in it but it shutting off every 10 minutes it not getting enough gas but I got it full too the top what's the problem
Ok…
So it dies every 10 minutes. Can you restart it right away or does it need to cool down and it will restart?
If it needs to cool down to restart you have a spark issue. Replace the spark plug with the NGK equivalent and replace the ignition coil.
Make sure the oil is topped off as well.
When it starts to die down…if you take the fuel cap off does the issue still persist?
What diagnostic steps have you taken and what were the results?
Ok I need help!!! I bought a ryobi 5500 generator from a friend he bought and used it last year ran his house for one week then store it in the garage! So we bought it and it was running pretty good the last 2 weeks now it bogged down and died when we crank it then it immediately cuts off again!???? We changed the oil what else can we do! Also the air filter has some oil in it to? Is that normal?
It runs and dies…clean the carb and confirm fuel flow to the carb
Feel like I’m watching Sal from impractical jokers fix an engine
yep
Jason I don’t think that screwdriver was long enough to get the main jet out don’t you have one that’s about 3 feet long?
I use bigger things to compensate for my short comings :)
I’ve tried cleaned the carbs but it still turned off and off I’ve only got it to do that only 2 times other then that it hasn’t started up
So you cleaned the carb and what is happening?
Magnific

Thank you for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel. 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
Ok all I’m saying is I watched it in full. You don’t need a comment from me lol. I’m off or do I mean on. Wait. I’m on no I mean off lol
Micks Mowers 🤣😂🤪
What was that at 1:50? Carb cleaner?
Starting fluid
FYI: a replacement carb is $28, if yours is too far gone
Do u know a part number?
@@cesaresparza07 - D262839 - Carburetor, Ducar 420cc - though my experience is that Ryobi only carries parts for about 2 years.
Bad gas water in the tank , caburator need clean
thank you
Bro is that a Rhode Island accent?
🤣
Close Long Island
Look me up on fb..i have a black shirt on!!!!
Hey really like what you and the misses do great team work but we have to agree to disagree on Trump I'm union 100% retired now but was chief steward and Vice President I'm still there Vice President anyway giving a little back ground I can't see how any union members can support Trump he's be the worse thing for labor workers his whole life anyway had to say that I do subscribe to your chennel and love watching you and the Christine so we just agree to disagree on ole Trump
Just curious how much you union guys are missing Trump right about now? The keystone pipeline was first, what do you think will be next on the Biden chopping block?
Vice grip with a plastic screw.... Plastic.... Or am I seeing things?
Huh?
@@pattayperformance the vice grip you used to pinch off the fuel line... Looks like it has a plastic screw.
@@pattayperformance it's red but is it plastic?
Knighthawk's Mowers Milwaukee torque lock vise grips...
Best vice grips on the market!
@@pattayperformance ah ok... Cool
Good video didn’t like political crap
