Thanks for your info-clip and yes, I do have same generator and the first thing I did was disconnect the throttle spring since I can't stand to have a cold engine run @ ~ 3,750 rpm when started, mine is idling at about 1,000 rpm until it warmed up. The 2nd thing I did to the Predator was removing all the stupid stickers which I didn't like to look at all the time. I haven used mine yet and will do the 2nd oil change soon after having the engine idle at ~1,000 rpm for about an hour before putting it back to sleep after draining the fuel out of the system and put some oil in the carburetor. Take care and good luck with your generator!
I don’t like it running such a high RPM at startup either! Good idea! Sounds like it will last a long time with such good care! Mine is still doing good too! Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
First time I've ran it and headed over a year but the hurricane came. It surges like crazy and really sucks up gas. Most of the time I'm driving to the store to get 10 more gallons. It uses more than my car

10-4 & the same 2 U!
Thank you for the video, I had the same symptoms with my generator and after cleaning it with wire it cleared right up. Thank you lots!
Glad you got it fixed! Those get gummed up pretty easy. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! This fixed my problem!!!!
Awesome! Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
My Predator 8750 is surging right now. Thank you for the tip. Yours still running okay since the video?
Hopefully you get yours running smoothly too. Mine is still doing great! I haven’t had to do anything since!
Thank you, Thank you!
You’re welcome! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I hope you get it fixed and I hope you didn’t have much damage from the hurricane.
Dump some sea foam in it sure does help with storage.
I haven’t tried the sea foam but I did have some sta-bil mixed in it. Does the sea foam work better? Thanks for watching!
@@MountainMindset yes it does
I use nothing but Non-Ethanol fuel in mine. Had one sit for two years and it started first pull.
Good to know! I should probably try and find somewhere that sells it and buy up a little bit. Thanks!
I use ethanol in mine, mine always start just turn off by fuel knob
