I have easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials "do it yourself" (DIY) videos to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers and zero turn mowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed whacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, zero turn mower, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.

Watch next; Best way to store your generator
ua-cam.com/video/OTUvhaNiDm0/v-deo.html
Excellent suggestion.
Super video, keep up the good work, greatly appreciated 👍
I will
I’ve got four generators for 7000 3000 & two 2200s. They’re all Hondas.
I hope you guys have a great weekend, thanks for watching!
Have a blessed weekend brother 🙏
Good job. Can't help on the age of that generator but getting a old engine of any kind running is great fun. I have a old Sears Craftsman (Tecumseh) 127cc horizontal shaft that I got years ago that I am beginning to work on. No spark, so that's the start of my adventure. Will get it running and leave it running in my closed up shed to drive the squirrels out!
@@fillslawncare thanks Fill!
Don i have seen a Honda parts catalogue for the EG1000 dated 1977 so maybe older than you think. At EP we always try to save the original OEM carbs even if they look like they can not be salvaged. In some cases we have ordered aftermarket carbs just for parts like the bowl and needle valve because that is cheaper than ordering the OEM parts and they fit and work perfectly without the problems many aftermarket carbs present sometimes rapidly and sometimes after a season or two. To clean out the fuel inlet housing we have had great success using a Q Tip with a stainless steel polishing paste. Jake actually ordered some special pointed style Q Tips that work better than the original style. This video just proves how good these engines are great job on a smooth runner.
It's a Honda. That little genset will run for you for the next 20 years if you take care of it. The best there is.
Hondas are awsome machines, cars, motorcycles, ATV's, outboard engines, generators,... you name it.
I agree 👍
Yes, they are.
Great video. I always like to see older equipment brought back to life and made useful again. That generator has a lot of useful life left.
Name of vendor carb came from
Love how you go into detail and Explain exactly the procedures on all your repairs!!!
Keep up the Great Work
You can’t beat a Honda! That was a nice score for what you put into it. A cheap resurrection 👍👍👍👍👍
Man I love working on the old stuff. It's a change of pace and a challenge. great video brother This is why honda is king 😊
That’s super cool. I always get a joy seeing old small engines brough back to life and being used again. Love your videos
Don,
That's a great score! For the price you paid for the carburetor and a little bit of your time, that's always a win in my book. Hopefully that little generator will work for you for years to come. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.
I've an EC 1500. Bought it in 1977. The one you've just worked on is early 80s- late 70s. The metal chrome handle came later on Honda's.
Prior to that the handle has 2 rubber grips over the carby end .damned heavy but is still starting 2nd pull. That fuel tap is there for a purpose and is used to run the fuel out of the carby every time after use.
The EC 1500 also has an oil bath air cleaner. They're the way to go.
That is amazing your Honda generator is from 1977, does it run fine and have you been using it often.? I just want to compare the quality of these old machines to what we have nowadays.
@@mohabatkhanmalak1161 hasn't done a lot of work.
Camping, painting interiors of new houses at night and ran a power supply for cb radio operations.
Fired up the machine last week because they're buggering up our power system and I want it handy and READY for when the greenies turn it off.
1500w will do lighting, fridge, TV and even 1000w blower heater. They are great machines, not like the new ones because they use brushes and they're heavy to handle. That's why they're so good. Donyboys genny is 1000w. I didn't note the hp of the engine, but mine is 5hp.
When I purchased the genny, it cost 750 dollars Australian which was a huge amount of money, hence it's still well looked after. I stuck an hour meter on it and oil is changed after 30hours.
Thanks for the resurrection video. I do like these. I just picked up a couple of old Troy Bilt rototillers this week that I’m trying to bring back to life.
Great job, can’t beat the older Honda stuff built so well! I have 4 older Honda generators.
My father had a generator like that it was new in 1974 or 75, Great video
I really enjoy the time and patience you show in all of your instructional videos, but I especially like seeing old equipment brought back to useful life. As well Honda engines are hard to beat.
Great close up video shots! Some of the best I’ve seen for this kind of thing. Thank you for taking the time to teach us a thing or two!
I love videos like this.. Thanks for taking us along Don!
More to come!
Another great video Don. I like seeing old equipment brought back to life. I saw a generator like this in the early 80's, like 1982- 83.
My thought exactly. The GX series (OHV) engines came out around 1983-85. The G series flatheads (this engine) were mid to late 1970s.
How interesting this repair went. Thanks.
That generator could be from the introduction from honda generators to the us market in 1973. It certainly was available in 1977.
You are close on the date.
EC 1500 I got in 1977 in Australia, and was around the introduction of Honda power equipment.
The pdf of the original manual available free for download shows an EG1000 Honda..and a print date of 1977.
Thanks dony I appreciate you for your help have a wonderful weekend
Great video Dony!
Great job and so self satisfying to restore older engines. I, too, have receive older engines and when time permits they get some TLC. With your channel's great instruction and info, success is often realized. Thanks so much for all you offer.
Amazing that it had spark. Tank is in amazing shape. Engine sounds great. Should last a good many more years with a little care.
Nice old generator good job getting it running good for a back machine thanks for sharing have a great weekend
That fuel line is a possibility of the gas problem and the carb issues on this classic gen set glad you did a video on this one
I’ve had the same luck with the knock of carbs . Great video 👏👏👍
That is for sure a sweet little unit. That would be great for a little camp site or like you said a back up in case of power outage. Thank for sharing this. Hondas will run forever, you should restore it.
Nice revival Don! So much of equipment ends up scrapped and now you have a nice usable machine with a Honda engine.👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
Super cool save 👍 amazing how well such an old engine runs
Great insight into the details of restoring these old items to a working condition. Thanks.
You bet!
Great step by step how to diagnose
That is an 83 production I have one and it is still running beautifully love the video
Great Job Don, I have a few older honda engines sitting around, may try to fire them up this summer. Thanks for all the useful information!
Love your work db73
Great video. Honda is the king of quality.
It sure is!
I got the same generator and it is a beast never fails ! does not need a lot of choke like half a second is good. Thanks for the video !
Great video Don!
Thanks Don, just love it when a job comes together well. Solid little genie to put under the bench for a raining day or dark night, Cheers
Excellent. $21 USD for a new carb and you have brought back to life a a 48 year old generator. 👍👍👍
Well that was interesting. Reminded me of working on my 60s model Evinrude outboard. Still runs good btw. Thanks Dony.
Amazing job and video - as usual on this channel.
Thank you! Cheers!
Big fan of Honda equipment here!! Good job Donnie free is always good especially if it's a honda!!
I think a little TLC and paint is in order here. Great video
Very good Don with a little bit of love you brought it back to life, well done.
Great work Dony!
Nice step by step breakdown…love doing this stuff especially when I have good results…🖖🏻
I look to your channel for a while, i learn a lot from you, l you are insame mecamic guy. Thank you so much for charing your experience and your patient. Have a good easter.
You did the right thing as a businessperson. Being retired I spent time to clean and fettle that valve seat instead of buying a US$20 replacement. It was a curse. Two months later the mower's shaft sheared on a rock. Still, even with that muffler I'm glad yours won't used by my neighbors.
Very nice you got this generator working. Honda are really good engines, and even after 20 years it still works. You got a really cheap generator there. Take care, greetings from Norway
Thanks, you too!
Great video. Ali Express is a gold mine for finding things you can't find elsewhere :) And the best, it's often free or very cheap prices for sending it.
Awesome Vidéo Don merci!
Hi, Gon I have the exact same generator as you its model EG1500 1,500 watt, I still have my ex 600 I ordered a recoil for the eg I hope it will run great engine has compression. parts for these from Honda are very far and few as these are very old but very robust and reliable made in Japan. Keep up the great work.
Iam not even a mechanic, but i learn so much from you guy's. I could easily fix a chainsaw, line trimmer, leaf blower, just by looking at your videos. Most of the people need to be patient and tinker around, but, i don't know why some people just can't be bothered. All you did for this generator, replaced the carburettor by spending some spare time, $28 and 3 weeks of waiting time (iam sure you could've fixed the old carburettor by dissolving it in petrol for few hours). You are right dealing with small things like that spring near the throttle could be the most difficult bit. Iam impatient when it comes to those bits. Thanks for the video. 🌹🌹🌹🌹😢
I could have cleaned the old carb, but from past experience the seat will not hold a tight seal because it was too corroded
I have picked up quite a few used/old snowblowers. Some are free, some are like $50.00. I clean them up ,make sure they are running good and resell them at a nice profit. The first one I ever got was a curb pickup. Looked good. Brought it back home and it started up . Even the electric starter worked well. $250.00 sold in less than 20 minutes on KIJJIJ. Someone's junk is my gold. LOL.
Love generator repair videos
A real artist, What an amazing mechanic. A real bonus to have in the neighborhood.I'm praying forbyouand your wife.
Smear some oil on the lip of the air filter and press on to get an outline to cut to.
Good video 👍
Great idea. That way the foam is sized properly and less compressed to flow better.
Honda engine is just like a gold
Awesome Little generator thank you for the video?
LOL! I could smell that carb through the screen! Great save on a unit that will probably outlast us all!
You and me both!
That's a cool little generator ! Terrific fix.
Great "Will it Run" video!
Thank you!
Great Save Dony. Rattle can paint job on the tank and Done!
Once again Donny great content. Thanks
i bet the original carb could have been cleaned and made the machine run just fine. i have cleaned some that looked that bad or a bit worse and they ran just fine. usually the thing that saves them is the fuel not having ethanol in it when they were run last.
Nice job
Very interesting video. I think that unit could be from 1970's.
Honda's rule👍👍
Great little engine, reminds me of my Briggs that’s over 30 years old, both of these are great engines and will run for a very long time, unfortunately the new stuff is not built the same any longer
Yeah, but the Honda is more reliable, fuel efficient and quieter than any Briggs I have had.
I have an EG1000 that my father-in-law bought new in 1971. It still runs great.
Construction solide. Joyeuse Pâques Don ainsi que ta famille.
Merci beaucoup Daniel!
I like the video, keep up the great work, I have a small honda ex500 watt generator that works great, its a small carry one.
great video
Honda makes great generator, Dony makes a great video and make it great again
Sweet little generator. Wish I had one. Very handy except for the weight.
I recently bought an old generator with a Kawasaki L head. I didn't know they even made one. After much research there were no parts available for the carb. I had an old Tecumseh carb so I filed on the mounting holes, bought a couple of mounting bolts and stuck it on. I couldn't believe it but it started on the first pull and ran great after a minor adjustment on the main jet.
That’s a Honda for you!
Those old motors are hard to kill. They sound like they're going to come apart, but they're not. Nice job Donny.
Funny you say that, I have this Honda engine on a Honda HS35 snow thrower and it's relatively quiet. I have heard more noise from Briggs and Tecumseh engines and these Honda engines start as well as Tecumseh. I don't really care for Briggs engines, both from then and now.
Very cool, I'm glad you saved it. 👍👏👏👏
Thanks 👍
That machine is definitely much older than the 90's. The steel gas tank is a dead give away on that one. I would say it is no newer than the early 1980's, but is probably older. You have a really nice machine. I hope you have enjoyed it.
Nice work. I got a free magnet-based generator like that and it ran fine. I got a free Honda that had a clogged main jet!
Good job n seems to run rrreally good. Will remember this if I find one like that !!!
My favorite content. You gotta do more old school equipment videos! 😊
More to come!
@@donyboy73 hell yaaaaaaa!
Cool little generator.
Good job! sometimes the older ones will hold up!
Saved another one 😊
well done
Amazing wish i knew more about them learning
...very nice DIY video Don.....would like to know what the frequency and voltage was.....thanks for posting... 🙂
I really enjoyed that. You have a nice calm voice like James Condon, he specialises in repairing generators and he has a great channel too. Can you tell me what brand those cutters with the green or yellow handles at 6:30 are please. They certainly look like they’re heavy duty.
Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
they are Snap-on
@@donyboy73 Thanks 👍👍
Winner winner chicken dinner 🍽
You're an absolute genius !
Way cool it still runs!!
nice little generator
The master at work.
thanks buddy!
Nice job getting this gennie running. I thought these had rpm governor that regulates the output voltage. It is unusual to see a manual throttle on one.
God day Donny Boy interesting video. Thanks Yes honda's were a good unit.
Glad you enjoyed it
Things sounds really cool sound i like it.
Hey Donnie boy don't forget to change that oil lol Good video I like it thanks
Nice campsite generator
sounds great too!
