  • My starter quit working on my 5 year old predator generator shortly after installing a new battery. This unit has 1140 hours on it been great. The starter quit here is the issue the test & fix. U should disconnect the battery after testing before U replace the defective solenoid! Total cost under $15. Got Item on E bay. Just search for this item they also have complete starters for around $35. Easy fix U can do it!

    I love that the two videos I've watched you make about fixing the generator have been so direct and straight to the point. I hate watching a 15-minute video for a 2 min answer. Thank you!!

    Thanks for your good information. Would you do a video on how to change pull chord on predator 3500, am tired of it ripping off and I have to pay for the it to get fixed which I think I can do it myself, but the problem the recoil starter is hidden inside and I don't know how to go about it, please help.

    I don’t think there is anything you can’t fix! Well, maybe the “crack” of dawn. Good job!

    Where did the wire go with the round washer terminal go? Is it just floating back there? The factory solenoid don’t have that style terminal.

      don't you think those little China-men have enough on their plate than to rush to your place everytime you put rice on something and make them fix what ever it is???

    I've had 7 of these 3500's and let me tell you they are junk. I have a tiny home and run this machine every day. The 1st generation of 3500's spark arrested would clog up every couple days. Then the start stop assembly fell apart, one caught on fire. Had defective co sensor right out of the box. One all the screws fell out all the time. The last 2 were starters. Each time they replace the machine they hit me up for a new warranty. Now they want 300 bucks for the warrantee. So in total I've spent about $2600 bucks on this junk. Should have bought a Honda.
