Legitimately, Cheers for getting straight to point instead of talking about irrelevant trash to make it a half hour video. Will subscribe because of this point.
after starting right before the hurricane, I had extremely high throttle and noticed leakage from the airbox. figured it was carburetor related. watched your video and popped it open. full of gunk, there was a piece of gunk in-between the seal and the plunger. carb cleaned it, put it back together and ran fine with no leakage. video made it very apparent to find the source. thanks!
I can't believe that this video is from 2021 and is helping me in 2024. I'm dealing with this problem and your explanation was very helpful. Thank you for the very good tutorial and explanation.
We have used the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
Thank you so much. I was lazy and left fuel in my generator for three years and now it won’t start. So I completely disabled and cleaned the carburetor but now it’s leaking. After watching this video I now know what to check for. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. We DIY people would be lost without TH-cam and people like you who take time to make these videos.
Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well th-cam.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.
Great Video--Question for ya-- I have a 2 Westinghouse DuelFuel Generators that I use propane only. One never leaks and never has. The other one does exactly the same thing as described here. When running, it's fine, but if you turn propane on with generator OFF, the propane "weeps" slightly out the airfilter. I am 100% positive this is where it comes out. I used a sniffer. Initially, I replaced hoses and regulator. Could this be my problem as described in you video? Again, my other generator does not leak and propane is connected 24/7. Thanks in Advance!!
Is it normal for the crank case to be pressurized whereby when I unthread the oil fill cap, the gas-tainted oil shoots/flows out? Also, how many times should I change the gas tainted oil? Drain, fill, drain fill etc? Thanks!
First thing I would check is the oil level while the generator is on a level surface. Too much oil in the crankcase can build up too high of pressures and the oil will work its way up into the valve cover and then travel to the air filter via the breather tube (the rubber tube that runs between them). Also, running the generator on really uneven surfaces or tipping it while moving it can cause it. If that's not the case, and your engine is worn down a bit (grooves cut in the cylinder, piston rings not making a perfect seal, etc.) then you could have blowby which will be a gas/oil mist that can work its way through the same tube. That's what I can think of right now without looking at it myself. I hope you get it fixed! :)
*Love how quite it is, New **Generater.Systems** maneuverable enough would be better with a little bigger wheel*
Thank you for just showing us the problem and not talking for 20 minutes about other stuff

Right(same thing
Thanks my man! This helped me with my pressure washer. Same set up pretty much.

You made a lot of information available during this post. Thank you.

awesome, thanks for helping. This was completely exposed. I didn't even have to take out the carburetor
Thank you! Excellent presentation! I will update my progress once I follow the advice here
Very helpful. Your video was the first to pop up for my question. Thank you.

Will this also cause white smoke?
This was very helpful, thanks.
thanks mate
Thanks.
I learned a lot thanks man
Please sir make a video on “causes of generator overheating problem and it’s solutions”thank
I wise thing to do is to add a shut off valve since those generators are rarely used.
My generator leaks gas inside that OHV cover and goes out through that hose into the air filter box and wets the air filter. What would cause that?
Very helpful 👍
Thank you Problem solved For me
Is it normal for the crank case to be pressurized whereby when I unthread the oil fill cap, the gas-tainted oil shoots/flows out?
Also, how many times should I change the gas tainted oil? Drain, fill, drain fill etc? Thanks!
Can you run the generator in an emergency with this leak? What is the risk of an explosion or fire?
Never run a generator with a gas leak. 😵
What about a brand new carburetor leaking out the air breather? I can't imagine the needle or o-ring defective?
May be the needle doesn't sit properly due to dirt or the rod and float not well assembled
I have a Predator 3500 inverter generator and I am getting oil in the air filter, it only has 600 hours of run time on it, do you know why

So if it is a blowby, is it fixable? Same thing happening to my 4550 generator
Is it dangerous if there is a gas leak on my air filter?
It’s a brand new carburetor. Now what. Gas leaking through air filter duromax xp10,000e
