PLEASE KEEP IN MIND when you are watching my videos: I am showing you the least expensive, quickest "backyard" methods for repairing or servicing your lawnmower or equipment. Replacing all components such as gaskets and fuel lines is always recommended when rebuilding or repairing equipment. With these videos I hope you are able to fix and repair your lawnmower yourself with minimal parts, knowledge and tools. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video. I messed up my last generator by not replacing the oil soon enough - by one day. We had to constantly run it for a week after Irma hit Florida. I'd planned on replacing the oil on my day off, but the engine froze the day before I could get to it :0( I picked up one of these Coleman's cheap and it ran when I got it but it's been sitting now for four years now. I've worked on various small engines before, but never saw a carb setup like this, so it had me scratching my head.
A tip I'd like to add to your info here... just something I've learned through working on small engine's.. A great way to clean out any gas tank - even an old metal one, is white vinegar. Dump the gas, fill with a couple of cups of vinegar and toss in a couple of big bolts/nuts, shake it around to knock any old sediment loose, let sit for 2 days and shake it around again, then dump. Add another 2 cups or so of gas, shake around and drain - you'll be amazed at how clean it comes out.
Another thing that I found to work well is just dropping the carb, and parts into a bowl of vinegar. I use an old plastic coffee can. Let the parts sit in it for a day or two and you won't believe the amount of sediment that will float out - even after you've "cleaned" it! It cleans out all the nooks and cranny's and leaves it like new.
Thanks again for the video!! Wish they'd all use this clip on design - it would make life a lot easier!
Thanks friend. Great tips!
Yep I put rusty ones in plastic coffee can for a couple of days then in to ultra sonic cleaner for 30 minutes
Works great on bad rusty parts
This is my engine!! Pm0525750 from when I got home from Katrina. Watching the video. I worked a few hours on it today, drained nasty yellow fuel at the line entering the carb, just like you show. Shot carb cleaner into it. Guess I'll take the float bowl off in the morning and hope I get that jet cleaned. Watching just half way and I'm sunk. I can't take that carb apart like that, and find an O ring from where. Such patience. If carb cleaner and mechanic in a bottle can't clean this thing I'm done. Thanks, I enjoyed watching.
I have the same generator and carb with clogged issues. THANKS so much for the great instructional video and for showing the part numbers of the tool and gaskets. You have saved me a ton of headaches.
I miss the Tecumseh engines, especially the snow king series. Simple beasts to work on once you master the carb cleaning
I love my tool I got from them, it’s worth the price any day
Absolutely perfect video, with all the important info on replacement parts, tools etc... fixed my generator like a pro.
Thank you very much.
Glad it helped
Jeff, You need some Camera Tri Pods for your video making.
Ohh that’s one of those series 7 Tecumseh “vector” carbs. Those I leaned were kind of “disposable” carbs And rare. Good to seen a vid on it. There is NOT many of them out there
I seen one 8 years ago
Was surprised
So glad you are back. I enjoy your channel and thank you .
Thank you so much!
Nice job Jeff: I had a similar unit in my shop last year and took about1-1/2 gallons of water out of the tank, the guy also filled it the rest of the way with gas. Had to throw it all out. Thanks for great video's.
Excellent video! Very thorough and was exactly what I needed to know to get mine going. Works flawlessly now thanks to you! Much appreciate you posting!
Glad you're back
Lawn Boy used a set up like that on their two cycle mowers as well. I hope I can find the parts for the one I have. It's a good vintage lawn mower with electric start and the silver knuckle bar type drivers for the self propelling part of it. I do like SOME of those older units but man, finding parts can suck.
Something I found very strange with this setup is the way the gas line runs through it, it just seems like it would get pretty hot the way they have it running through the engine.
I agree.
The older metal carbs are better IMO. That plastic stuff gets brittle. I have basically the same motor and it starts on one pull every time.
Pre Briggs plastic carb.....learn something everyday
Great video, I’ve never seen one of those carbs.
Great video. I have the same generator. Really helped me. Thanks!
Glad it helped
welcome back ... missed you
I wondered what happened to you. Thought maybe Red Green offered you a job............😜🤣🤣🤣 Nice to see you back!!!!
lol! thanks for watching friend!
Was trying to see the link on the bag of O-rings or the name. Cold you provide a link? Great video BTW. Thumbs Up
I'd like to replace all the gaskets, O ring, etc.. but can't find a part # of the carb for reference. I've seen several aftermarket carbs, with all the extras for sale... but different ones say, to replace XXX but different ones have different part #s.. even though they look the same. Do you happen to have the part # for the carb itself??
Good video friend,
a query I have the same generator and it has a problem of not charging (it does not turn on a drill) any recommendations, thank you, greetings
Get a dam tripod jeff your life will be less complicated and we won't get dizzy
They were pretty good engine but a little late to change Rep
Crochet hook would work pulling out the little white ring
a tiny one would be perfect
Nice very helpful video. For some reason when I pull the spring out on the carburetor main jet the main jet was stuck and would not come out. Also, can the carburetor gasket be installed upside down? The gasket holes line up a little bit differently around the nozzle depending on which side of the gasket is facing up. Maybe it doesn't make a difference?
Broke the nipple off for gas line on same generator. Any idea if or where I can get a new bowl ?
Yo can replace the fuel inlet nipple on the carb.
Glad u back!!!!!
Great video! Can you post the part numbers for the o-rings and needle/gasket? Thanks.
sorry I don't have that right now.. Use your engine's model number to look it up on the Briggs and Stratton website
thanks, great help
I have this same generator but this is way above my skill level. I just want to replace the carburetor, but I don't know what to replace it with. Can you give me the name and part # of one that I can order to replace the old carburetor?.
sorry I do not have the generator anymore, it was a customers.
I have one
Welcome back!!!
thank you
Hey Jeff, I have a question for you on this generator, I have a very similar one, coming from the lower part of the engine is a quick connect electric line, can you tell me where that connects to? Its not the ground wire, it the other one, thx Man!!
I recently acquired a generator just like this one. I purchased a new carburetor. The engine fires but still won't start. I checked the coil. It was very rusty so I cleaned it. After I did all of this it still won't run. Any advice would be a big help. Thanks
most likely a fuel delivery problem from a cheap carb or contaminated fuel system
Check kill switch, UN plug at coil and try it and fuel supply hose etc
Which hole on the carb butterfly should I put the governor rod in?
I have the same generator and carb. assembly. My motor runs great but shuts off after around 30 minutes. It will restart but again shuts off and continues to do it after running 10-15 minutes. I bought the generator new in 2005 and has not been used for several years and stored drained and dry. Any suggestions?
Sorry to hear that. Could be low oil level switch or that the carburetor has contaminents in it.
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Where can I get a breather hose for one of these coleman powermate 5500 or 6875? Can't find one anywhere I know where to look.
Maybe a parts store has something close to it that might work
Ck eBay and Amazon also
hello sir, can i ask you a question. i have the same machine and clean the carburetor. now the problem is it starts on choke. when i release the choke engine stalls all the time. Any idea please. thank you.
sounds like the fuel system and caburetor need cleaning
Great video. Do you know the oil capacity of that engine?
I have this exact model generator, and simply cannot find the carburetor for it... may i please know the serial number for the entire carburetor?
sorry I do not have that.
@@JeffsLittleEngineService i found an American made clone lol, but thank you for your reply i do appreciate it! Keep up the amazing content!!
Jeff, what oil should I use in this generator?
10w 30 is better if you run it in the cold (makes for easier cold starting). 30w also will work
Idk y u wouldn't just take off the gas tank to clean it...but that is just me
👍
How many CCS?
HOW DO YOU CLEAN IT DOWN?
Wondering why you never show your face.
Tax reasons.
Buy yourself a proper set of tools, I expected him to start beating this machine with a hammer at any time. Barbaric repair.
thank you
About how old do you figure that 11 HP is?
K predater engines
Techumsa engines are crap
