Thank you!! We were out of power and the generator would not start. This video saved our basement (flooding) and our food from spoiling. I have never taken a carburetor apart before. You took the intimidation away. Thanks again!
this helped me in a crunch. Hurricane Helene and then Hurricane Milton struck us in Bradenton, FL and my generator wouldn't start! This was exactly my issue thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have cleaned that carburetor the exact same way Robby . No need to pull it off if you don't have to. Great video again sir. Take care and catch you on your next one.
thank you for the confidence boost, I was able to get my Pressure washer running again thanks to your video. Carburetor was clogged, clean and good to go.
I storing a gas generator for a year or three or more, does it make sense to put ATF or motor oil in the carb? Some say to do this so the carb does not rust...
If you cannot start an engine normally , than do your starting fluid next . This will tell you if you have spark , compression , mechanical timing , Ignition trimming . are all OK . If it does not run on prime then do more testing .
@@small_engine_repair any ideas of why a tecumseh carb snowblower won’t start? I cleaned the carb, fuel lines good, gives spark but still doesn’t start
I have a 4000w and the 6000w units. Both have bad factory carbs. Champion will not send me the repair/replace kits. So much for customer service. The Predator/Harbor Freight customer service blows champion away.
I spent over $1000 for that generator at home depot brand new for my food truck and it just stop running sent it to a mechanic shop and it still isn't running
I used this video and got my Champion generator running again!
The main jet was clogged, too.
Thanks so much for posting this!
Glad it helped

Glad you got it running. Hope you didn’t get major damage. Been watching coverage and said to myself “never moving to Florida!”

I never have. I leave them sit empty. However I live in a dry climate.
Is there a way to use carb cleaner without having to disassemble the carburetor?
No

Yeah last time I called champion I sat on hold forever. Finally just hung up.
Small engine shop will have the kits and there common parts
Hey nice video man I'm subscribing now... but I gotta ask what if it blows fire out when u use starter fluid??
Guessing valves
Thanks eh
Welcome
I will never buy a champion generator again the worst product
I would not buy one either.

You need a new carb , fuel hose and filter plus a new tank valve if you are using gasoline 😢
Sorry but it’s the truth 😊😊😊
Ethanol does cause havoc!
