@@axelbreitkreuz3441 Thanks for watching 😄👍🏼👍🏼

@nathanblanco6478 Thanks for watching. Praying for you guys!

@@stevemclaughlin4713 yes activated by key switch. Thanks for watching!

@@chrisdixon2525 Actually, it turned out the venturi that runs up through the center shaft of the carburator was completely plugged with varnish and crud. I don't recall seeing the removal of that in your video but maybe I missed it. After I cleaned that venturi (held in place with a hollow set screw, and replacing the oil, it started 1st pull! Thanks for the insights.

The float is stuck. Take it back apart pull out the needle that goes in the seat. Clean it really good. If you've got time may just get a new one from Amazon. I know i said in the video they are more expensive but I don't think they're that high. Just put a new one on it and soak and clean your old one so it'll be ready in an emergency. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

@@chrisdixon2525 thank you so much for the quick reply, much appreciated! We just dodged this big Hurricane, but I'd surely like to get this thing running and be prepared for the next time I need it. I just picked up some carb cleaner, so I'll disassemble it all again and clean it with carb cleaner this time instead of fuel, and see if that helps. If not, looks like I'm buying a new float. I noticed that complete carburetors are around $28, maybe I'll just grab a whole replacement and mess with this one on the side. Thank you again for your knowledge and for your video, was extremely helpful in taking this thing apart and putting it back together! Also appreciate the insight in to adding a fuel filter in there, I may have to snag one of those too. Just any universal 1/4" fuel filter that looks like that should work, right?

@@shaneswartz6053 Yessir Your welcome

@@chrisdixon2525 we're back in business! Took it all apart and cleaned with carb cleaner, every nook and cranny. Been up and running great for the past 30 minutes. Thanks again brother!

Hey Brooks! That was the plan 😁! Enjoying my days for sure. It's been a good thing. 4 months in. Been trying to figure out how to get some videos posted. It's a different day for sure but I love it.

@BKHIGHLIGHTZ Thanks. Yes I've got to start back.

@@francoislapointe6846 make sure it is firing at the spark plug

@@chrisdixon2525 yes i checked today and i see fire . Yes, I checked today and I can see a little spark. Any other suggestions? I wanted to try with a starter liquid.

@francoislapointe6846 try a very small amount of starting fluid in the throat of the carb. If it fires you still have a fuel issue. Check filters and line obstructions

@@erichook1519 Thanks ! I wouldn't chance putting the gas in anything else. I believe the filter housing has 3 screws.2 nuts that hold the carburetor. And one on the back side.

Got my generator back up and running…have a small problem though…see picture-do you know if I can buy this part by itself? Do you recommend just replacing the rubber gasket?

Having issues uploading a photo…it’s the larger screw that secures the bottom cup of the carburetor to the top. The larger rubber gasket to the inside of the carb (when screwed in) is frayed-can you buy this part by itself?

What is the fuel line size?

Thanks so much glad it helped!

🤣🤣🤣glad I could entertain ya. Hope the video helped in some way. Thanks for watching!🙂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you Kind sir. I appreciate you. Glad the video helped ya.

in the video at 43:04(the firman generator) is the washer your talking about fiber or rubber@@chrisdixon2525

Good observation sir. I realized it when I put the new clamps on. It was right when it left my shop. Easy to do when ya trying to make a video instead of concentrating on the work. 😄👍🏼

For the carb

I don't have parts for sale. Just look up what you need on Amazon or Google it. Thanks for watching.

No worries I have all the gaskets and plastic part of or for the carb Ty for this video

Meant order as in placement

My bad🫤 If ya can't figure it out get back with me. Sorry. Thanks for the sub.😊

Thanks for the info. And thanks for watching

Glad it helped ya out. Thanks for watching

@@chrisdixon2525quick question. My battery took a hit from me trying to start it 30 times without it starting before I cleaned it. If I leave the generator running for a hour or two will it recharge the battery? I have a pull start on it to. But I started it with a portable battery jump. I don’t have a slow charger right now but was wondering if i just left it running will it charge up the battery again. Thanks

It may help a little Probably won't fully recover without charging on battery charger.

Hope it can help in some way! Thanks for watching.

Hope the video helps! Thanks for watching 👍🏼🙂

Around 35$-45$ on Amazon. Just search model# of generator on Amazon.

I did buy it. For $40 delivered I’ll save myself an hour of time. Thanks for the video, I’ll use it on the install and then play with the old one to have as a backup

I don’t know why that posted twice

🤣👍🏼no problem

Thanks for watching and the comment 👍🏼🙂

Look up on Amazon carburetor gasket kit for 439cc clone engine. If yours is exactly like the one in the video. Should have a decal telling engine size. Should get multiple gaskets in one kit for like 10$.

Local parts store have different thickness of material for gaskets and you can make one

Hope ya enjoyed it. Check back often for more. Thanks👍🏼🙂

I just take the fuel line off the carb. And drain old gas out of the tank. I spray carburetor cleaner in the tank and attach an old piece cloth to a wooden stick or dowel rod and wipe the interior of the tank as much as possible. Pour a little gas in and swish it around and drain it. Repeat until tank is free from rust and crud. Install inline fuel filter between tank and carb. Fill with gas and change the fuel filter as needed . Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for more helpful videos. 🙂👍🏼 If ya need more help, let me know. I'll make a video to help ya.

Thank you. I’m planning on trying to run off propane only so I don’t have to do this as often.

No problem Yes I agree on the propane. I haven't tried mine on propane yet but I'm ready to try it

Went through all the steps and generator still won’t start (propane only). It cranks and just chuggs but doesn’t run. Any tips on what to try next? Spark plug maybe?

@@BT-bx1un so it runs good on propane ?

Thanks for watching . 👍🏼🙂 Yessir some of the saws have some odd problems. I've worked on some that I never got fixed . Pretty sure it's air leaks in the crankcase that don't show up when it's not running. Thanks for watching hope you found some help or entertainment from my channel. 🙂👍🏼

Hope it helped 😊👍🏼

Yes sir, I did it just like the video, thank you very much

You're very welcome. Keep watching 🙂👍🏼

Yes sir.

Question 🙋🏻‍♂️ What kind of oil can I use for this generator?

Lol

The one and only😂😂😂

Glad you enjoyed it. If you have any questions I'll try to help anyway I can Thanks for watching 👍🏼🙂

10-4 Thanks for your input🙂👍🏼. I'm trying to get better at my videos. Stick around . Thanks again!

I guess over time it might. I try not to soak the tip just wipe it off. I've never had a issue with the filters I use.i guess there's potential if the filter was super restrictive. There usually is a small filter in the on off valve but I didn't pull this particular one apart. Fuel free flowed freely when I had it apart. Thanks for watching. I'm not a certified professional mechanic. But I do normally end up with a pretty good repair. I do appreciate your feedback 🙂👍🏼
