    Thanks for this Video. I figured out that the Carb was bad and this Video helped me. Most of it was pretty obvious, but your little tips and suggestions really helped me. RV Generator will now start and run without Starter Fluid !! THANKS.

    For the fuel line, a spring style clamp should be used so that as the rubber hose expands and contracts with temperature change, it doesn't become too loose. Otherwise, great job at explaining this process.

    Good how to. Best one I’ve seen. Especially because you stated the size of the socket to remove the bolts from the carb. I figured it out blind but it was nice to see. You also explained very well the choke and governor cannot both be closed at the same time. Something I was struggling with when removing the old carb (while the spacer between the carb and the intake manifold was still stuck in place.

    Nice to see you torquing the bolts! Others just hand tightened and risk snapping them!! Next giveaway?? Onan QG4000 carburetor maybe?? I’m Also going to add a fuel line shutoff close to the carb to empty the carb when finished running to prevent any further gummy problems.

    • @FateUnbound
      @FateUnbound  2 місяці тому

      Heck yeah, mechanical engineer here, I understand the importance of properly torquing bolts. And an inline fuel shutoff valve is a super easy DIY that will help protect the carb from exactly what you said which is why these carbs commonly need replaced 👍

    Thank you thank you. If the engine still wants to shutdown, check the Hertz with a Kill o Watt meter. Simple throttle adjustment to achieve the 60Hz

    • @FateUnbound
      @FateUnbound  7 місяців тому +2

      Thanks for the tip! I've dialed in the governor and the Hz reading is right in line with what the manual suggest at various loads.

      I (well ,the repair shop) replaced my carburetor since it would not run for more than 30 minutes. After the new carburetor, the generator would run for 3 to 4 hours and then shut off. Took it back to the shop and they found that the fuel pump was full of solids. After the fuel pump was replaced, the generator has not had any issues. @@FateUnbound

    I have a suggestion to make to prevent the wing nut that holds the air filter cover from unscrewing and moving and damaging expensive parts that are complicated to replace.
    Simply add a 1/4 self-locking nut after the wing nut.

    We fought generator issues (QG5500) all summer on a 7mo trip out west, New fuel pump, Plugs, Oil level changes, Insulating fuel lines, Removed and cleaned carb, Ordered new carb,. Before installing the new carb I added a second fuel pump near the gas tank. The second pump fixed all my issues and the generator now runs better than it ever has. Prior to installing the second pump it would rev up and down, especially under load and may run 1-2 minutes or may run 30-40 min, or may not start at all, and never without priming first. After adding second pump it runs smooth even with AC starting and stopping. I can now run both AC's and the Microwave and the generator never stumbles. If this doesn't fix your issues and a second pump near the gas tank.

    @MrEroshan 7 місяців тому +1

    At certain times of the year that I know my generator won't run through a tank of gas for a month we put fuel stabilizer in the tank. Gasoline will foul up everything quickly. Just running the genset once a week wont do anything to prevent fuel in the tank from going bad.

      It's all about cost. Carburetors are much cheaper to manufacture than a fuel injected small engine.

    • @FateUnbound
      @FateUnbound  2 місяці тому +1

      There should be a sticker towards the bottom of your generator when you take the panel off that reveals the engine. It'll show what your generator part number is, like 4KYFA26100R, or something like that. The carbeurators on Amazon should specify which generator they're for and find one with the same number as yours.
