    I was given a new generator with 0 hours but was stored with gas for a year or 2. I have some work ahead of me. Thanks for the tips.

    Nice thorough video. If you don't want to mess with taking it apart and hope you get it completely clean you can get a new one for around $15

      Thanks for watching! If your buying aftermarket carburetors open them up. Quality control is horrible and many times have debris or metal shavings in them.

      Almost all aftermarket carburetors anymore do the job. Problem is that the intake gaskets are super thin and controls have to be modified to work correctly. Not ideal but many times the only option besides the customer spending oodles of cash. Thanks for watching!

    The first thing I would have checked for is stale gasoline in the carburetor float

      Oil is the best place to start...Basically we check what you are saying because that is where we go with the repair. Thanks for watching!

    I have the same generator, where can I get carb bowl gasket for it?

    • @IndRepair
      @IndRepair  Год назад

      They do not want you to buy one separately nor do they sell them. We use universals for the smaller carburetors (160-220cc) but on these I am not sure which bowl gasket it is. If you search Huayi bowl gasket and have the old one you may be able to match one up. If not the whole carburetor will have to be replaced

    Old post but could be a gas tank vent issue also which is worth noting?

      It doesn't go through a carbon canister or anything just back to the air filter box. I have never seen it happen on a generator like this but I suppose it is possible! Thanks for watching

    Just too much Stabil in the gas. 🙄
    With first start and only 6 minutes of time on the unit there wasn't much else it could have been other than bad fuel. Gas cans are often where junk in the fuel tank comes from and so that is about the only, precautionary, reason for looking inside that 6 minute old carb.
    Hooking up to a temporary, alternate fuel source for the drained carb would have been the 'down 'n dirty' fast diagnosis confirmation of 'hinky' fuel instead of a full carb breakdown with ultrasonic cleaning. After all, Time is Money.
    The "Emulsion Tube" (not Emulsification Tube) and the jets were factory clean to start with.
    If the model had an eco-idle feature then the the black idle adjustment screw should have been returned to factory setting to re-establish the eco-idle speed setting instead of just run all the way in.

      Thanks for your diagnosis but the reason we pull the carburetor is to be thorough. Worst thing that can happen is something is missed and the customer can't run their generator when they need it. Real-time start to finish under 30 minutes...Well worth the piece of mind. Talk semantics all you want sometimes I say things wrong doesn't change the meaning... This was not an auto throttle and low idle screw wasn't run in all the way.
