It was a fooler because the not being level make it semi functional. Experience is the best teacher because the lesson is never forgotten. And the Torch plug was a good likely suspect. Your learning experience will help others. Thanks for sharing Kenny.
Well buddy pretty when you get to be closer to the age of myself and the Big Dog you may even forget how to get to the shop never mind checking the oil LOL! The great thing is that a mistake once made becomes a learning experience never forgotten, i personally have had many of them and still do not know where i put that air cover housing.
Yes. Sir. Boy, can I relate? Had the same issue besides a cracked vacuum hose, but no start. Even sprinkled some fuel down the carb....nothing. Checked the oil, nothing. That was too close.
Definitely. Just recently I spent two hours trying to get a generator started. Then I found the problem - the gas shut off valve was closed. I'd forgot about it when I took the carb off and cleaned it.

Thanks Tom!
@@KensSmallEngineRepair thank you Kenny
Most of the time it is the carburetor. I probably would have done the same. Nice that they have a sensor. All 4 stroke small engines should.
It’s hidden around back. Cardinal Rule always check oil first!!
Can’t think of anything but you Kept at it and you solve the problem
Thanks Hank!
Sometimes it's the little things that we overlook 😊 great show Ken
Ya, sucks getting old!
There's a giant tag hanging on this engine stating very clearly there's no oil and needs to be filled. How does someone not see that?
It’s 5 years old, that tag is long gone!

Good job Ken, we've all done the same thing brother.
More than once!
🤣👍🤣
Fair play Kenny you saved his engine.
Thanks Pete!
Thanks for being time efficient! Great job
I done it ,created work when it didn't need it. Good point tho Ken
This guy shouldn’t be allowed to operated power equipment!!
Fixed it for me.. was having trouble unless it was dead on level. I guess it’s a nice feature l, but any sensor can cause a serious issue.
Thanks for getting right to ! You would be a great Teacher
maybe in a few years when I retire!!
Nice job. We've all been there. 😂
Felt stupid at first but heck even pro’s forget stuff once on a while! Thanks for watching!

Lol Frank, been there!
Yeah that will be it..
Brain Fart!
It is far too easy to overthink a problem, we have all done it. We seem to do to that far too often 🙂
You would think checking the oil is the first thing you do and normally I would but not this time. Thanks for watching Joseph!
💩 happens to the best of us Ken!!!
Ya. Brain fart!
How did the oil drain out of the engine? Where did it go?
He never checked it over the years. Like most engines over time they will burn oil
And I’m over here sweating. Thank you so much. Glad I didn’t bring it back to Home Depot.
Glad I could help!
lol
We call have brain farts!
as ya know, this is how most generators die!
