I had similar problem with my generator was surging and after watching your video I was able to fixt it just replied the oring Thank you for your video legend
Thanks so much - same issue here, however I notice it smooths out when it warms up. My last shop class that had small engine repair was in 1983 - may be time to take a refresher.
I love em when it's a Honda or Chonda with low oil cut off switches and only the oil is low because most don't read enough to see you literally fill the oil to where almost runs out. Otherwise, yep... it's the air, fuel and/or fire (fire never seen an issue) and the one rare exception was the Champion 4000W that needed the valve lash adjusted. Seems the same outside of H/Chonda'ville designs. I like my type-2 form-a-gasket also when using bad gaskets since amazes me how I can save on that expense that's really only more a time thing if in a pinch.
I have a Honda powered Homelight. The only problems I've ever had with it are gunk in the bowl, courtesy of our fine legislators, and a broken governor spring (fortunately makes it run slow vs. blowing it up).
Long term exposer yes it would. But it is diluted to only 60% and flashes off long before harm can be done. Pure Acetone with out question will swell seals in a matter of minutes but they will shrink as it flashes off.
The best thing to use in Generators if they're being stored is True Fuel or VP Small Engine Flue, no ethanol and it has a very long shelf life. Just wish it was available at the pump, at a decent price.
Acetone burns like a mother. Unfortunately I speak from experience. Before they banned tricolor that was also some nasty stuff to come back at your face.

Spot on fix , I had no spare jet so used a wire from a wire brush but thanks for showing me the fix 👍
Never a bad idea to try a larger idle jet while your in there. They are most likely jetted on the lean side from the factory.

I would not buy a generator with out it. Period
Low oil shut down will save the engine

Thanks, just helped with my Honda 6500. Good short detailed video 👍
Good stuff, I got a Troybuilt 7500/10200 and it’s surging and I’m pretty sure this is gonna be the issue. Thanks bro
Thank you!!!!!!!!! I fixed mine thanks to you!
Will that spray HURT rubber seals 🦭 or gaskets? Thank you for the video 📹. I just learned something again from you my friend 😊!!!!!

Thanks for the vid.
Question- I’m having surging but it’s a new carb, and fresh gas in a new tank. Where should I be looking? Suggestions? Thanks
Does it surge under load or even out?
thorough. Appreciated sir

Are all low end idle jets pressed , mine is a generac 4000 watt
You can learn something new every day but be careful you'll shoot your eye out with that carb cleaner

Thanks, this was helpful.
Hey buddy I got a 3500 watt champion generator n mine is surging. Can u help? Where u located?
Bro thank you so much for this
Can a stock pilot jet from Amazon work for majority of generator?
Shoot i still have a 71 and 73 homelite chainsaws that never even had the carbs cracked open and they rip!!’
I was referring to Homelights attempt to take on Predator about 15 years ago. There is a reason Homedepot carries Duromax now.
Perfect fix
I love it. Generator is 13 years old and bad maintenance. But it's always the ethanol's fault
Use that grinder to cut a channel for that rain to get off the fuel tank.
Bet you friend is loving you about now
yes i very much appreciate having Neil (RedneckComputerGeek) as a friend and i try to help him out as much as i can
I agree it’s really hard finding someone who will fix it right
Thanks
On the new ones I’ve been having to drill it out a tad but not very often on older ones
Well it’s 3 weeks later and west Texas is covered in ice and 18 degrees
Thank you for the video
If you blow here……… 😂
99% of the time carb just needs a good cleaning and ultra sonic cleaner and welding tip cleaner
pinch pinch blow you better calm down there !
i cant get my generater to run
Not good time for that problem
