@@retrorestore thanks to channels like yours i was able to get two power washers and a lawnmower back working again.. saved me a fortune. probably well over 100 euro in labour.
As someone who’s had difficulty getting generators to start in the past I’m truly impressed with the way you figured out the problem and fixed it. So clever!
I watch all your videos Martin. Often because you have valuable information, but mostly because I like the camaraderie, especially on your Butler's Empire channel with Sharon and your adventures. I look forward to tomorrow, when I give my well loved and regularly used 10 year old pressure washer (that has been surging) an rattling (cracked ceramic piston?), I think my pump is knackered so will be changing that with a spare new one I have, but I need to tackle the surge that's happening with the engine. Now I know where to start, so thanks to you I just ordered myself some carb cleaner and those carb cleaning tools you have and hope for a good result tomorrow and a happy machine. Always great value in your videos and your experience. Thank you mate
I've learned my lesson the hard way regarding varnishing and other buildup. Now, I always use fuel treatment and/or drain the petrol. I also regularly check fuel and air filters. Cheers!
Thanks for that indeph dionogstic of the carb clean , your videos are brilliant, ,,now I should be able to fix my generator now , keep the videos coming ,brilliant job😊😊
Great to see some diy videos coming back on the retro restore channel. I havnt watched youtube for a while so ill have to go over to the butlers empire channel and watch some of them videos too. Hope you and all the family had a lovely christmas and new year.
Found this channel a couple of years ago from watching your other channel and I love it. Hoping you get some time to show us more of the Trotter van rebuild when the better weather comes 🤞
HI MARTIN I HAVE A SHED WELL BRICK WASH HOUSE I USED IT AS MY WORK SHOP MATE FOR HOBBIES AND SPRAYING CAR PARTS MARTIN SEEN A 8KW DIESEL HEATER ⛽️ ON EBAY WITH TRANSFORMER WILL THAT BE OK FOR THE SHED OR I THOUGHT A SPACE HEATER 😊
Happy new year Martin 🎉 🔧 Loving your videos, like I said not long come across this channel then hearing you have other channels so I’ll start watching those too. Clever man.
There is another jet .take out idle stop . you see a plug underneath the plug there is a slow running jet Been researching a bit on carb cleans on generators
Good to see you getting your hands dirty again mate,had problem with my wolf genny,due to the cold weather fuel hose popped off fuel tap,all good now with new jubilee clamp
I have a question, my lawn mower petrol tank is always empty and there is clear leakage from the carb. I once saw a video you did where you explained why this is happening, but for the love of me can not find it. Any info would be appreciated.
A video if you can do how to open a vauxhall mervia from under the car if release cable is broken please or if someone can tell me how it's done it would be great thank you

good to see some videos returning to this channel, was getting tired of air fryers over on your main channel.
It's not only Airfryers though.
Agree😂

You are a very clever guy, a proper DIY man. Sharon can get all her jobs done!
Very interesting. Especially for someone like me who knows nothing. You make it look easy but I'm sure it's not.
Great to see you on the spacers”

The needle jet under the float needs cleaning as it's letting fuel in when the float should shut off the fuel supply.
@retrorestore Top man, thanks Martin
Thumbs up Martin 👍👍👍👍
where did you get your mic from cheers
Best make sure all your gennies are working , Millibands net zero power cuts are on their way!
sehr gut gemacht. gutes neues jahr, gruss aus den Schwarzwald
Thank you
What you been buying from the MGOC .
A video if you can do how to open a vauxhall mervia from under the car if release cable is broken please or if someone can tell me how it's done it would be great thank you
Proven again you are the carburettor king 🤴👍you definitely know your stuff 👍👍
hi martin bernard hear what you done with bikes ? fazer bandit and rd 200 not seen them for ages
I still have them all.
You starting on the log cabin extension this year Mart 🇬🇧
it RAN! it CAME! I've GIVEN
That generator is like mine we pulled on it for almost a day and found out the choke sticker is on backwards !! so on is off and off is on
Rpm a little high maybe?? I think 3200 should give correct voltage and 50/60hz
Gloves? Nah, Mick @themowerman washes his hands with that stuff, lol
You have not cleared the idle jet they always block up
Mart im in Da Pienmash shop in Roehampton Bro
circle aerial on the roof
Your a natural and obviously multi talented
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍🏼👍🏼
other thing to check is the spark plug, wire and magnito. never know new or not something always rears its ugly head.
Is this a Chinese imitation Honda? I think they named their rip-off Honda cars "Hongda"
I RUN MY GENERATER OUT OF PETROL SO PETROL DOSNT STAY IN CARB
🧰🔨🔧🪛🧰🇺🇸
HONDA copy carb
Happy new year Martin 🎉 🔧
