Wonderful job exploring! As you said, now I'm 99.4% sure this is my issue.😊 I hadn't used mine for a couple 2-3 years. 😁 I added gas, oil and the spark plug this season. Low and behold, start then stop. Start then stop! Just gonna have a repair shop handle it. But I will mention the gasket to save them the exploration! Thanks a ton!!
Thank you for posting this video. This was the problem with my Generac. Since mine was ten years old I replaced the carburetor. It was just $12 more than the gasket kit. It started on first pull.
You called that carb, I think, a Honda clone. I haven’t seen one like that yet (with the additional part to one side), so I’ll be doing more research to learn about that type. Can you tell me exactly what that part does that you replaced the gasket in? Thanks! Oops, never mind! Just watched parts of the video again and figured out it’s the fuel shutoff switch. Come to think of it, I may have some pieces of free equipment out in the yard with the same carbs - just haven’t worked on them yet. 🔧👍
Greetings! This video came up in my feed yesterday and I learned something new about 4T carbs, so thanks! I’ve subscribed to your channel and will be going through your videos to hopefully learn more. I knew immediately that you were from my neck of the woods (I’m on the Cape) and confirmed that later on in another video. See my comments in other videos for followup. What’s your first name?
Great video. I think my generac is about to have the exact same problem. Very hard to turn on or off the fuel flow switch. Suspect rolled gasket. I have searched both Amazon and Ebay and am unable to find any kit which seems to contain that gasket. Do you still have the name / number of the kit that you used.
@@charlie68c34 Thank you! It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure this was the kit New Carburetor Gasket Set for Honda GX110, GX120, GX160 & GX200 16010-ZE1-812 a.co/d/7Tkawvh
Looks good to me. I guess I didn’t put the right words on the search line. Thanks for your help. I have already placed an order and it will be here Sunday.
I found a one wash generac pressure washer. I cleaned the carburetor, put fresh fuel and checked the oil. It has compress but still won’t start. Do you have any idea why it won’t start? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
So I’m going to start with a couple of questions. -Will it start if you spray starting fluid directly into the carburetor? And if not -Have you checked for spark?

Excellent! Glad I could help! 👍🏻
Absolutely fantastic! You called it with saying a rolled gasket! Awesome episode... Thanks for sharing...
Thank you Scout! I love a good mystery problem!
Excellent video. My generac 2800 still won’t start and I only use it maybe ten times at most!
Thank you! Hopefully it’s something simple 👍🏻
great job man, and good luck for you !!! nice deal.
That you!👍🏻
Nice work!
Thank you sir👍🏻

Yea some of the replacement carbs have done away with the fuel shutoff. It’s nice to have but just makes one more place to leak/ corrode
that is a great find
Thank you 👍🏻

Where do buy the rebuild kits for your carbs? By the way great videos.
I mainly use eBay and Amazon. Just pay attention to the reviews 👍🏻

Hi do you know the valve clearance specs for valve lash ?
I believe the intake is 15 thousandths and the exhaust is 20 thousandths but double check online to be sure 👍🏻
Well done 👍
Thank you Henry👍🏻
