How To Get Generator Running After Sitting For Years

How To Get Generator Running After Sitting For Years: I had the opportunity to get this running for a friend of mine, as you can see it turned out very well, the only thing that I did not like is that someone had already been into to it, and sometimes that is not good, but the end result is that it is running, follow some simple steps and you will be fine,

Thanks for this video!! I am about to service a generator for the first time

[@stephensmith5317]

after finding no spark , first i would have put another good sparkplug in and checked for spark, if nothing then go onto the coil check. great tips so far Ron. my fuel is premix 50:1 it always looks like shit lol. even though its fresh fuel. great video

[@TheCyenceLab]

When you said "the only thing that I did not like is that someone had already been into to it, and sometimes that is not good" I fully Agree with that I work on computers and feel strongly about true statement. Appreciate the video!

[@toml7775]

thanks Ron, great video, you covered it all and well explained.

[@HillCountryPrepper]

Really appreciate that tip on resetting the coil. Thanks

[@channelron3593]

No problem 👍

[@Daffydubs]

Thanks Ron this was more helpful then the last 5 videos I watched for the same thing!

[@channelron3593]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brendasoer5507]

excellent video....thank you...I have been trying to get gen going for over a wk... had one successful pull..unfortunately took the choke off too fast..& died.. drained & replaced gas ....new plug. .have spark.. no friends....anything else can I try ?? 😮‍💨 very much appreciate...

[@channelron3593]

sounds like its all good? do you have compression? you need fuel spark and compression if you got them, then the only thing I can think is the timing?

[@brendasoer5507]

the plug on the left is the original one and the one on the right is a new one...
I guess what has me nervous...I won`t be changing the female end that goes into the switching box in the garage that powers up to the house...can I change one end of plug and not the other ?

[@mrzif0013]

great video. what do you do w/ old gas disposal
?

[@channelron3593]

I put it in an old container and most garage will take it to burn in there heating systems.

[@VicLop2111]

I have one that's been sitting for more than a year. I'm really desperate to fix it, I'll try cleaning it up superficially and see how it goes. For sure I'll need to change the fuel, although it doesn't really smell. Great video.

[@omar_ibrahim04]

Hello sir ,
What happened did you fix it?
I'm really looking forward to know?

[@VicLop2111]

@@omar_ibrahim04 Hi Omar, I tried by just applying carb cleaner from the outside (without changing the old fuel) and it starts but stops if I stop applying the carb cleaner. I'll need to clean up the fuel lines and change the fuel. I'll let you know once it starts running nicely.

[@omar_ibrahim04]

@@VicLop2111 Thanks for the reply
I hope you fix it and it turns from the first try

[@d_wolf1]

Very helpful and I appreciate it but the little blasts of music were way too loud in between talking. Had to constantly adjust my radio up and down to hear you

[@channelron3593]

Sorry about that, thanks for the input.

[@albertbell7120]

What oil do these generators use … I don’t have any instructions for my machine … going to clean and try a few things you showed here good video 🇬🇧

[@channelron3593]

I use 10-30 in this one.

[@blankblank2345]

well done! and perfectly explained

[@channelron3593]

Glad you liked it!

[@creativity.studio4967]

Why not just have a few $10 USB battery chargers sitting around?

[@nickoshana2246]

helpful, but the Music, while nice is too LOUD!

[@channelron3593]

Thanks for the feedback Im trying to stay away from it now on my newer vids.

[@mrzif0013]

genius, gave me inspiration to take on my generator engine. wht size spark plug mine is the same.

[@channelron3593]

Not sure on plug I gave the generator away to someone who needed one.

[@jimobrien2309]

Very helpful. Thx

[@channelron3593]

Glad it helped

[@raymondgarafano8604]

U could have looked around by the linkage to see if it was in 'STOP' and grounding out magneto.

[@channelron3593]

Thanks for the input

[@philliphall5198]

I started mine every month and drained the fuel every 3 months plus no corn gas period 😊😊😊

[@xxlegend45xx72]

Would it be better to try and fix it or buy a new one?

[@channelron3593]

Depend a lot on finances and time?

[@benrobles752]

I would try to fix it and then see what happens after that.

[@ballHand]

Good video, thank you.

[@channelron3593]

[@dkush1918]

[@channelron3593]

[@beachbums2008]
