Used sportsman Generator Repair and Getting It working
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2015
- My wife found a great deal on a sportsman 4000 surge watts generator. It would start but die right away. In this video we clean the carb and replace the fuel line to get it working on the first pull.

Give this guy a talk radio show.
Really enjoy listening to him.
Great Video!!! Camera angles and audio is perfect. Your tutorial is extremely helpful!!!! Congrats on your score!
Great Video! thank you for making!
Nice little generator. Put a set of wheels on it and handles to make moving around a lot easier.
I have a similar generator. I mounted it to a dolly that was laying around. Makes a huge difference.
Good investment, and with alittle handy work it works great! I have also a newer version of Sportsman Gen4000--with RV switch and well works great! Thanks for the video and knowledge just in case.
Solid video...I haven't tried it yet but I will.
Great job sir
Buffalo Corporation sells these generators. They also have the best customer service Ive seen. This model generator is very easy to repair and get parts for.
what make is the engine?
Thanks for your post
We picked up a used sportsman generator for a great deal. The one downside is it needs a little work to get it working. Follow along as I work on getting this thing up and going.

Did you clean the low idle jet to ensure it was not clogged? FYI.
This was a plugged idle jet together with a partly plugged main jet. Clearing the main jet alone would make it run, but with surging/hunting.
To clear the idle jet, poke a very fine wire through it. A bread wrapper wire is probably too big. A strand of copper wire from a lamp cord or a bristle from a wire brush will clear the idle jet.
This had nothing to do with the float valve. I didn't see him do much that would have fixed this. I didn't see him poke anything through the jets.
nice job
Are you pulling the choke all the way to the right? Hence not center ?
I have a 2000 watt sportmen are they supposed to run full idle?
Can you show how the carb work in propane? My hunts/surges. Thanks
Your are right that is not the line it came with
Great video! I just recently obtained a Sportsman 7000 watter second hand....
I highly recommend using non ethanol fuel !!!
I just receive this exact generator as a gift, but I'm wondering if there's a way to install wheels where those 4 rubber things are that it sits on. Have you come up with anything for your generator?
M Alimi there's a kit you can buy at tractor supply but it does involve some drilling and rerouting the exhaust.
There is a wheel kit on Amazon, but I built mine out of plywood & 4 casters from ace hardware thats cheaper than the kit!
What was with the gas running out when it was started
How do you ground it?
How do you change the oil?
I have a13 hp electric start just like yours.
I stored it for 5 years and it won’t start.
I took the carb bowl off and no gas runs down into the bowl???
Mine has a outake fuel line on top that leads into fuel valve. Make sure you're getting fuel their. It could be clogged up in the fuel valve
I need a generator section assembly. ASAP.,Where, how much.?Video???
No carb gasket?
What's the valve settings?
make sure you break it in properly and i would say change the oil after every 20 gallons
He got it used?
I have a sportsman 7000 generator it starts and run fine but I can't turn it off by key i have to turn off gas valve and let it run till it runs out of fuel in carburetor any help would be gladly appreciated
Replace the switch, trace wires make sure everything is connected , but I would definitely go wth the key switch, hope this helps
@@tyeballard71 thanks for the information but i got it fixed now turned out to be the switch crazy part i had already replaced the switch but guess it was a bad switch
Please don’t forget about generator safety: there’s something that everyone really needs to know about when using generators. Many people have died each year when using generators so please be careful. Generators can be dangerous if not used carefully. This is just a reminder. Not only because carbon monoxide is dangerous, we should also keep our children safe when we’re using portable generators so they don’t get injured by the generator. Thank you
What size sparkplug
You didn't show which way to set the choke lever for cold start...
This is the second generator repair video where the fuel line clamps weren't used.
Mine was surging right out of the box.
