Hey Mustie, Sunday is my favorite day. I look forward to every video. I make sure I have drink , snack, log on the fire, ready to go. First thing I look for is the subject..mower, bike, generator etc. second..length of video. Always disappointed when less than an hour! New rule: no videos under 90 minutes! Please don't ever retire. Thanks for the entertainment and education. Lou
I'm really glad you have done this video. I have a generator I need to get the engine separated from the power plant. Now I have an idea of how to go about it. Your knowledge on small engines has been a great help to many of my small engine repair endeavors. I appreciate and enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.
Another way to remove the tapered shaft is to fill it with water and then put a screw in the middle of it. The hydrolic pressure will pop it right off. I have seen James Condon use that method.
@@seanmckay3392 I think it’s a friendly rivalry. Both are pretty much doing the same kind of work. I think there is a solid group of these guys doing the work and educating.
@@publicuser2534Oh yeah, but Mustie's channel, as he says somewhere in his videos that he's "toolin' around" so that's like my late friend and I fixing power equipment in his back yard. Besides those two, I like watching James Condon, Donyboy73, Chickanic, Steve's Small Engine Saloon, (Inside) Home Garage, you name it.
Hey Mustie1. I watch your videos every Sunday and have gone back and watched all of the other videos you’ve produced…my wife can’t stand the content (lol), but I absolutely love it and never miss a new episode. Your talent and the variety of content makes this my favorite channel. I have no criticisms, I just wanted to comment as I understand this helps push the algorithm. So to show my gratitude, I am going to start adding a quick comment, in addition to “liking “ your videos, from now on. And again, thank you for the excellent content…you are the Norm Abram of small engine videos. Coffee and Mustie1 are my Sunday ritual.
Darren tries to do things as if it is the first time and without looking at other info. Darren is a master of many skills. James is a master at restoring these things and I feel he should put his name on his rebuilds and get more money than the going rate because the rebuild is often better than factory. A James rebuild of this generator would be worth more than half of a new one.
Exactly what I was thinking, a label that says "Revised by James Condon" or something. But he´s just a little guy doing this as a private hobby. he doesn´t have a company so that´s probably why doesn´t want to do that.
Hi D. Another great video. It’s a shame that engines are made with so many plastic parts. I understand why. Cost cutting. Loved the horses at the end!! I always enjoyed the add on videos with the water scenes. Hope you have a great week!! Darren
Cost cutting aka throw away society Just commented yesterday to a young electronics student...decades ago they built engines/machines to last but now - pffft even a rear end shunt will write off most newer cars. And don't get me started on Engine Management Systems
@@ralphj4012. Wes of watch Wes Work would machine a new one out of metal and possibly even the crank rod end knowing him. He definitely had the talent and skills to.
Nice 4020 ..I tnink my uncle had one , When we lived on the farm . That was back in the late sixties early 70's . Back then it had a little shine on it . Good memories . Thanks Laura .
Mustie, you are totally fearless when it comes to pulling apart an unknown engine structure and then amazingly clever putting it back together. Hat off to you!
Dan's pony's are adorable. My neighbor had some older horses where I lived20 years ago and I would feed them apples that were wormy from our tree, also cantaloupe seeds. Brings back memories of country living. Cool engine diagnostics & disassembly video. I seen the fuel additive series, the dude showed straight gas was the best.
I only learned this a few years ago. Before that, I assumed it meant: "to accelerate at such an alarming rate of speed that one's testicles become plastered to the back wall of whatever vehicle one is in" or as a metaphor thereof. I LOVE planes, but I still think I prefer my original one.
I've watched James Condon's vijayos forever and never heard a harsh word. Not even a raised voice. I think he would give 2 thumbs up and an attaboy for this autopsy.
That was a good generator I had 1200 hours on it it always started and ran well hopefully you can use some of the parts so it can be useful aging Darren is a good friend and Captain is loves him
"Yeah, it definitely decrenated itself." "Grenaded"? I love you, man. Seriously, this is a great show. Long time follower. Remember Jimmy Payne Volkswagen from Jackson, TN? You are, indeed, a great teacher. Thank you!
The water creates the jelly you found in the carburetor. I have found actual green alge growing in a carburetor bowl. I harp on everyone to drain the fuel out of your generator when not being used for long durations. I usually pull the fuel line and inject WD -40 into the carb from the fuel line, then reassemble. When you need the generator now, it will run every time. I learned this doing snowmobile repair. In the spring, I drained both carburetors and sprayed them. I also fogged the cylinders. Most owners' manuals recommend this on snow mobiles. I applied to to all my small engines during the off season.
Mustie, big cup of coffe and sunday is here.. love it! I never knew Subaru made small engines, but now I do thanks to Mustie. Keep 'em comin', Darren 😅
I really like the bonus stuff you put in at the end. I miss the bonus stuff you used to put in, such as streams, brooks, lakes, etc. Great way to end the videos.
A for profit shop would not even take this in for service...no profit likely.But a used generator like this would be worth much more than $150 on 2Facedbook or Craigs. The mystery and possible quick fail of an expensive repair is,will the customer tell the truth about how long it revved out of control ? New 5k/6250 watt gen recoil start start at $579.00 and tax at Homie's But no more Husky (Made in China) This is a very informative video Mustie.Been here before when a laborer somehow fill the tank with white paint and then ran it. My 8HP Brigss USA Homelite also had the governor fly apart- I got it for the price of weight at the scrapyard
A rather unique engine, a Subaru OHC engine--neat to see! It has a chain operated overhead cam instead of the usual overhead valve (OHV) pushrod engines (cam located in the block) that make up the vast bulk of the small engine arena.
I have this exact generator. I bought it back about 2007 and have used it for a total of about 12 hours (11 1/2 of that was the week I bought it) It sat for about 3 years after that and it wouldn't start due to a gummed up carb. I cleaned that and have been babying it since then. I run it for 5 minutes every couple of months and always use non-ethanol fuel and change it every fall. Hey Mustie, if you want to pull mine apart to compare you are welcome to it. I'm not far away. LOL
Too bad that the governor grenaded, hope the motor will yield some spare parts in the future... 👍 Always hand-feed horses from the flat palm, had scary moment as a kid, offering an apple and the horse chewed straight through it, I could feel his teeth just missing my fingertips... 😱🐴👀
You should contact James Condon here on UA-cam. He dose a ton of generators. If you don’t want to keep the power head he may be interested in it to add to his parts for when he needs one. Just let him know what make and power output was listed on the generator. He has tons of videos on his channel showing how to separate the two halves. Some come apart different.
Greetings from Oklahoma. I really enjoy your videos. I noticed the body hammer that you use a lot. I have one that looks exactly like it that I bought about 48 years ago when I worked in a body shop.
Those engines are normally pretty reliable engines. I've got the Subaru ex21 on my mini trike and I've abused it to deafh and it's still a ticking. Another great video Mustie 1.
The engine didn't starve for oil completely, there might be a chance of repairing it, I'd check for slop in the connecting rod and proceed with that information to junk it or buy a new governor. The horses at the end are beautiful! Thanks Mustie!!!!
The concern is the dipper on the conrod, it may have plenty of oil in it but with the end broken off the dipper the oil wont be getting where in needs to be.
"Balls to the wall" is for aircraft. The ends of the throttle levers are ball shaped. Push them to the firewall for full throttle. "Balls out" is full tilt. When the governor was really humming the balls would be fully extended.
Good catch on the noise being governor related. The external governor shaft appeared to be quite out of adjustment. It's possible that the governor shaft had slipped into the engine too far and made contact with the oil dipper.
I know the noise and i know the struggle of launching that little red/orange needle seal across the garage with compressed air. It really sucks because usually it happens after everything is already done, and you're right about ready to start assembling it back together.
I have the same one… converted to natural gas. Runs like a top. Powers my whole house during outages. No washing machines,lol, but runs the well pump just fine!
I like learning new things! Never knew where the phrase 'balls to the wall' came from. Always thought it was just a 80/90s slang term or something, like 'tubular'.
I think this is worth fixing. A 5kw generator is worth more than 100-150 bucks. The rod cap is probably available by itself, so you wouldn't need a whole rod. James would have made this a 2 hour video.
Hay...Russ here....Get Well Soon...we love ya man.... And after the darker nose...... We have 200 to 400 Amp alt. We also have many types to spin the alt... But we need to know how to use a alt to battery to inverter. With safty and proper wire sizes. If you have time or choose. Much thanks. From all of us out here.
Hi Darren, the story I heard of "balls to the wall" seems a little more plausible. Originated from WW2 fighter pilots when they needed to go full speed. The throttle levers had balls on the end akin to our hot rod floor shifters. Pushing the levers towards the instrument panel would speed up the engine. Hence the expression "balls to the wall". And thanks for another great video.
Agree, balls to the wall used for throttles in airplanes and pushing the throttle against the wall for max power. I've also heard Balls Out for old steam engines, think Leno discussed it once.
Always an awesome Sunday when I wake up and there's a new Mustie1 episode in my feed. Myself, I'd buy the parts and get it running. No govenor for a mini bike or go cart depending on it's HP.
When removing the carb, I always ensure not to overextended the governor arm to cause the slider to pop off or the weights to open far enough to allow that. Sticking an object so the arm does not travel back and forth while fidgeting with the linkage is a good idea. This all may have started with the carb replacement.
"Balls to the wall" is aviation lingo - full throttle on an airplane is with the control levers all the way forward, with the plastic balls on top of them close to the instrument panel. The saying related to steam engines is "balls out" - when the governor is spinning wildly and its balls are as far out as they can.
The old saying anything can be fixed its true with a little maguivering is it worth it who knows .Possibly fit a small fitted piece into the existing rod to kick up the oil after drilling. Drill and tap the rod vane & install small bolt with double nuts on each side you could grind the outer parts like a cup or flat to assist the oil movement.Dont think balance would matter you could even weigh the broken piece and get it close with your repair weight.Then just replace the governor parts only & back in service on the cheap,LOLL! I do it all the time.....Good Video either way like all of yours....
Sorry Mustie but "balls to the wall" Came from WW2 when the pilots would take off with the airplanes they would put "balls to the wall" which meant Throttle ,Mixture and propeller controls full forward towards the firewall thus the term. Those control levers had ball on the end to give a better grip. Look at a video of WW2 vintage airplanes inside the cockpit and you'll see what I mean. I love your videos they teach me a lot about small engines. Thanks
Into the parts bin.. just hope this time next year you find two more of the same model, one with a busted gen head and one with that's ingested crap and ruined the bore... this will get them both going again!
Mustie, you mixed up balls to the wall and balls out. Balls Out is a governor running at maximum throttle, balls to the wall comes from jet fighters in Viet Nam or possibly Korea where the balls on the top of the throttle levers would touch the firewall at maximum thrust. Balls to the wall and headed for home is the phrase that comes to mind.
Since the oil splash is broken into just two pieces, maybe do a mig weld on it? A slight spacing allows the wire to be in between the pieces for full penetration via welding one spot at a time. Then a governor replace and you're in business.
C'mon Mustie I'm sure your friend would spend the dollars to get that gennie running sweet again. The Subaru engine is a good engine and I agree with other commenters James Condon is the world's guru on generators and a great youtuber as well.
The alternator part looks similar to my 8000 Watt Coleman generator. Same brush type. Same stator look. Same looking square cover too. The rotors winding often fails. There are capacitors under the black cover on mine and 2 diodes.
I may be wrong, and you may still not be able to buy the parts separately, but it looked to me like the oil dipper was part of connecting rod end cap, and not the rod itself.
Excellent video Mustie 1 :) also thought govern gear was off inside engine or bearing worn out too and hope hear want do next to also on repairs! You try save it so far!
Hello from Rhode island not to far away lol iv been watching you for years learned some stuff even though iv been working on cars and stuff for 40 years thanks for the videos just wanted to say hi and yes I'm subscribed have a great day my friend
Jay Leno covered the "Balls to the Walls" term in one of his steam engine videos. It has the ball weights on the upright governor and he showed speeding it up with the balls flying outward when accellerating to higher speeds.
Mine I had replaced the carb and had fire coming from the muffler . A mechanic told me being after market the carb may be jetted for a higher horse power thus to much gas . Not the first time not oem has failed me. Also check the lifter/ valve setting that'll do bad things too.
Balls to the wall is actually from aviation where the throttle handles have ball ends and you put them to the firewall. Balls out on the other hand is from steam engine ball weight governors that at top speed the balls are all the way out.
Awesome content as always..too bad it couldn't be saved. But a great trouble shooting tutorial and appreciate you sharing your vast knowledge with us.😕🛠️🔧👨🔧🔧
The Husky generator owner made two crucial mistakes. 1) Replaced the carburetor instead of cleaning it. 2) Replaced the carburetor with one that did not interface exactly with the original so the governor could work properly, thus blowing the gear. Dipped may be able to be welded back on. Cost in parts and labor at a shop to repair would be cost prohibited in relation to value of generator. Note: Never bypass the low oil shut off sensor on a generator.
My top 4 guys to watch are Darren in NH, James Condon in NY, John at FarmCraft101 in VA and Don at donyboy73 in way up Canada way. All offer both an education as well as an entertaining experience. The best of UA-cam.
Hey Darren great video as always. Too bad they don’t make individual parts available. It’s probably from China and built to fail sooner rather than later. I’m writing because I thought it was ironic that when you opened up the engine to see the governor assembly - everything was steel except the broken nylon or plastic gear. I was wondering if you were going to try to weld it and then file it where you needed to. BTW yesterday my glasses broke, they were 5 years old and a product of China. $350 to replace. My friend silver soldered them with the Blazer ES1000 mini butane torch. Beautiful job except the finish burned off. At least I have glasses for a few days until I get a replacement frame. Thanks for the show it’s always class. BTW what happened to the Thing ? Paul

James Condon does a LOT of generators.
I have a small leak on the crankshaft seal, between the engine and generator. I have been gun shy about trying to repair it.
@@robertheinkel6225 Go on it; you have nothing to lose and knowledge and experience to gain.
I have learned so much from watching Mustie1 and others. I have lots of small engines, at least 10.
Another way to remove the tapered shaft is to fill it with water and then put a screw in the middle of it. The hydrolic pressure will pop it right off. I have seen James Condon use that method.
The James Condon channel is the go-to place for working on these kinds of generators.

The "wall" = the firewall.

The old saying anything can be fixed its true with a little maguivering is it worth it who knows .Possibly fit a small fitted piece into the existing rod to kick up the oil after drilling. Drill and tap the rod vane & install small bolt with double nuts on each side you could grind the outer parts like a cup or flat to assist the oil movement.Dont think balance would matter you could even weigh the broken piece and get it close with your repair weight.Then just replace the governor parts only & back in service on the cheap,LOLL! I do it all the time.....Good Video either way like all of yours....
Great idea!
Great video. Never used stabilizer for years. Just run ethanol free and run monthly for 5 minutes. Run the bowl dry.
I love how you film your videos. I have learned so much from you. Thanks!
I always like to watch your videos - mostly liked with a happy end. This is not one - that´s live 😢😢
Sorry Mustie but "balls to the wall" Came from WW2 when the pilots would take off with the airplanes they would put "balls to the wall" which meant Throttle ,Mixture and propeller controls full forward towards the firewall thus the term. Those control levers had ball on the end to give a better grip. Look at a video of WW2 vintage airplanes inside the cockpit and you'll see what I mean.
I love your videos they teach me a lot about small engines.
Thanks
Into the parts bin.. just hope this time next year you find two more of the same model, one with a busted gen head and one with that's ingested crap and ruined the bore... this will get them both going again!
Thanks for the heads up on the governor removal. Got a 5hp Honda to put in a mini-bike. 😊
Thanks for the excellent education Mustie!
Mustie, you mixed up balls to the wall and balls out. Balls Out is a governor running at maximum throttle, balls to the wall comes from jet fighters in Viet Nam or possibly Korea where the balls on the top of the throttle levers would touch the firewall at maximum thrust. Balls to the wall and headed for home is the phrase that comes to mind.
Miss Lisa knows all about the balls! 😍😘
Fun video! Goes great with my coffee on a lazy Sunday!
RIP little generator!
Since the oil splash is broken into just two pieces, maybe do a mig weld on it? A slight spacing allows the wire to be in between the pieces for full penetration via welding one spot at a time. Then a governor replace and you're in business.
Thanks for the shop time Mustie1, and the education!
It still made for great viewing bro. Safe travels. Ken.
Thanks for a good start of another Sunday morning Mustie!
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
C'mon Mustie I'm sure your friend would spend the dollars to get that gennie running sweet again. The Subaru engine is a good engine and I agree with other commenters James Condon is the world's guru on generators and a great youtuber as well.
The alternator part looks similar to my 8000 Watt Coleman generator. Same brush type. Same stator look. Same looking square cover too. The rotors winding often fails. There are capacitors under the black cover on mine and 2 diodes.
always good to find a Mustie 1 video waiting for you on a Sunday morning and now Daylight Savings Time
I may be wrong, and you may still not be able to buy the parts separately, but it looked to me like the oil dipper was part of connecting rod end cap, and not the rod itself.
Always like your videos. Very informative and calming
Cuteness overload there at the end.😊
Send the generator too James he will ressurect it.
I think what you were referring to "Balls to the wall" was for the throttle levers for airplanes. "Balls out" would be for the old governors.
That’s a beautiful place Dan!
Excellent video Mustie 1 :) also thought govern gear was off inside engine or bearing worn out too and hope hear want do next to also on repairs! You try save it so far!
Hello from Rhode island not to far away lol iv been watching you for years learned some stuff even though iv been working on cars and stuff for 40 years thanks for the videos just wanted to say hi and yes I'm subscribed have a great day my friend
The explanation of "balls to wall" was worth the whole video. I never knew the origin.
Jay Leno covered the "Balls to the Walls" term in one of his steam engine videos. It has the ball weights on the upright governor and he showed speeding it up with the balls flying outward when accellerating to higher speeds.
Best part of Sunday watching mustie and learning a thing or too 😊
Mine I had replaced the carb and had fire coming from the muffler . A mechanic told me being after market the carb may be jetted for a higher horse power thus to much gas . Not the first time not oem has failed me. Also check the lifter/ valve setting that'll do bad things too.
I always wondered where the balls to the wall saying came from…… thank you for the trivia Mustie!!
Balls to the wall is actually from aviation where the throttle handles have ball ends and you put them to the firewall. Balls out on the other hand is from steam engine ball weight governors that at top speed the balls are all the way out.
Awesome content as always..too bad it couldn't be saved. But a great trouble shooting tutorial and appreciate you sharing your vast knowledge with us.😕🛠️🔧👨🔧🔧
I see fresh paint on the rollover vruck !!
The Husky generator owner made two crucial mistakes. 1) Replaced the carburetor instead of cleaning it. 2) Replaced the carburetor with one that did not interface exactly with the original so the governor could work properly, thus blowing the gear.
Dipped may be able to be welded back on.
Cost in parts and labor at a shop to repair would be cost prohibited in relation to value of generator.
Note: Never bypass the low oil shut off sensor on a generator.
As soon as I heard it run, I knew that engine was doomed, but great video anyway !!
Hope you find some spares for that engine, love the horses 😊
My top 4 guys to watch are Darren in NH, James Condon in NY, John at FarmCraft101 in VA and Don at donyboy73 in way up Canada way. All offer both an education as well as an entertaining experience. The best of UA-cam.
😂Looks like that Taryl cup has seen better days.
Good morning Mustie,watching from Deetroit,Mi...
Thanks for another great Sunday mornin’ video.
I see an update on the Econoline truck coming. It looks like some real progress has been made on the paint!
Watching from Worcester Mass.
I never use stabilizers after watching the Taryl videos. Ethanol still gels up after a year or so. I think it interacts with the water somehow.
Wish you were my neighbor lol I have learned a lot from this channel
Hey Darren great video as always. Too bad they don’t make individual parts available. It’s probably from China and built to fail sooner rather than later. I’m writing because I thought it was ironic that when you opened up the engine to see the governor assembly - everything was steel except the broken nylon or plastic gear. I was wondering if you were going to try to weld it and then file it where you needed to. BTW yesterday my glasses broke, they were 5 years old and a product of China. $350 to replace. My friend silver soldered them with the Blazer ES1000 mini butane torch. Beautiful job except the finish burned off. At least I have glasses for a few days until I get a replacement frame. Thanks for the show it’s always class. BTW what happened to the Thing ? Paul
