Nice video, thanks. I have the GP8000E (electric start). I think it is the same carburetor. Did you find a place for what looked like a third gasket? Also, what is the purpose of the fine spring wire that connects along side the throttle rod?
I’m thinking of doing this. Very good informative video. I have a 6500e and I mistreat it. I power my fifth wheel and the new house under construction. It’s running 12 hours. I think throttle is open. High rpm sounding and sucking up gas
I just bought the same gp6500 like new but wouldnt start. I sprayed some gas into the carb throttle and it started right up so i oredered a new carb I may clean the original one and store for next time. Great video. My carb should be here today bought it on amazon. I need to drain tank and change fuel filter. What did you do with old gas is there a guicker way to empty tank? I may remove it and change plug as well. Great job.
I used the old gas to start a fire. Lol. You could siphon the gas out of you have one of those. Mine drained way too slow through the fuel line. There is a gas turnoff so you don't need to drain the gas to change the carb, but it's a good idea. Hope the new carb works for you!
@@sankeybryant2739 Amazon, try searching this. Mowtiler GP5500 Carburetor for Generac GP5000 0J58620157 Generator. I'm sure there are plenty of purchase options, but this is the one that I purchased. I used the generator recently, July '24, and it fired right up and ran normal.
