Dude, you are a friking genius; as a hurricane was moving towards us, the generator was not working right even after taking apart and cleaning the carburetor, I remember buying the acid almost a year back after watching this video and decided to try it before buying another generator, and to my surprise, this works, the generator is running as smooth as new. Thanks.

Exelent teaching

I don't have a crescent wrench. Any idea how I can get those two side bolts off the carb? Left hand side

I have the same generator.. it runs ok for a while, like an hour then it carbon fouls the plug,, do you think a air jet is clogged, or is there an adjustment screw on the carb I ccan tune? thanks

I pulled the servo on the top and the black plastic linkage and spring fell out. How do they go back together

Thanks for the input; i cleaned the carb ,but notice 2 things : i found a little lose screw between the butterfly stuck in the carb . (just remove it no where to locate) then i accidently riped the inside gasket just a little bit ,next to the screw ) the gen started but i notice some wired failure.Apreciate your advice

Hey man I just removed carb cleaned and reassembled like you showed in the video. However when I turn the choke knob to run/start or choke gas leaks out of a port on the surface of the carburetor that mounts against the gasket between the carb and motor... any clue why this is happening? It is a pretty solid stream and everything is bolted up nicely?

Thanks so much for making the effort to do so. If I don't get wiped out by the storm I'll send along a donation on top of my already subscribing and liking the vid.

sounds like the throttle is stuck. take off air filter pull carb off studs you're looking for the butterfly valve on the back of the carb that's throttle the front one is choke. use some spray oil and move it back and forth you'll probably feel it give like its stuck just keep working it till it is smooth feeling.

Greetings from Australia mate. Did you notice the main jet size?. They have a number on the side. I have the same generator and it is always running lean. I wonder if the previous owner changed the main jet. Mine says 70 on the side.

@smallengineguys

i do not know sorry. use acid and boil it out. also there is a little idle jet on top of the carb under where the idle screw is or where it would be. its a plastic piece you pull out if its clogged the carb will run lean.

B n a 4 stroke I would guess as long as it was not very cold any wear from 55 to65 jetting is best they like good lean .if the motor has been broken in properly.. I can't emphasize break-in. Enough

I appreciate you trying to help. But it is very obvious and clear that you just wanted to post some videos. I can tell you just had learned the hard way a few times at least you appreciated it enough to try to help other people. That is the pass I will give you sir. Anyone will tell you your Technique is crude but sometimes needed for the man that does not know how to adjust the carburetor. Although it is a quick fix that's very hard on gaskets, but let's face it these are cheap Motors if you get a few big jobs out of them they pay for themselves oh, I was laughing when it took you about 5 minutes to describe what a fuel return line was coming off what is clearly the intake right before a carburetor meets the block of the engine adjusting your air fuel mixture exactly right and being in tune with your exhaust and your jet selection different areas act different. In closing I would like to thank you because I was pretty sure I needed an eight and a 10 mm thank you
