    I'd recommend buying Viton ViTube or the cheaper Tygon Excelon DEHP Vinyl from the U.S Plastics website. Use calipers to measure the fuel nipple fittings on the carboretur, the fuel valve petcock and the polyethylene gas tank. Measure past the barb where the hose will be clamped. Purchase a box of ViTube for each size by rounding down your measurement to the closest available inner diameter or ID of ViTube in the catalog. DO NOT PURCHASE REPLACEMENT FUEL LINE PARTS. Just use the good stuff! Cut your Viton fuel hose with a knife or use a PEX tube cutting tool. Insert needlenose pliers into the Viton hose and stretch it then apply silicone grease to the fuel barbs. For the fuel tank use a larger piece of Viton fuel hose and a polyethylene or brass reducing barb fitting and two clamps to interface the larger tank tube with the smaller tube for the fuel valve petcock. Upgrade to the indestructible synthetic rubber Viton! It is highly resistant to ethanol and gasoline. It can withstand 400 degrees of heat for prolonged periods. It is incredibly tough and durable making it resilient against vibration and abrasion. It will never harden or crack. The proprietary synthetic fluoro-elastomer rubber is patented by Chemours. They own the rights to it and there is no substitute for the real deal. Its different from rubber because its specially engineered to be incredibly resilient to survive industrial environments. Its superior in every way to the Chinese "fuel hose" that this generator comes with.

    in cold start position metal plate closes (practicaly) air intake manifold to give engine more gas and less air. In Run position that plat in open. Control knob doesn't change anything else. So that check for your generator, Probably all small engine tools have the same way to start

    Thanks for the great instructional video. Our Ryobi generator was running poorly and leaking fuel around the bowl on the carb. We bought a new carburetor for $30 online and were able to swap them out easily. There is an extra drain tube/breather tube? that is hanging out of the replacement, I just let that hang down next to the other tube. It started on second pull and is now running great!

    Great video! If you can find a shorter socket for the nuts, that will be better, since you will have less power loss to the nuts. Also if you can find your correct socket size in 1/2" (this should be the Bauer square at the end, right?) and fit it directly, you should have even more power (minimized losses going from 1/2" to 3/4").

  • @somethinguseful2935
    @somethinguseful2935Ай бұрын

    Do you mean that there is a loss of impact power between 1/2 and 3/4 sockets? If so, yes, you're right. I even feel a little play between the sockets when I rotate them manually. It's strange, but I've never thought about this before. This is not important if you try to rotate the nut with a constant torque. But it’s probably important when you use impact tools.

  • @martinp8427
    @martinp8427Ай бұрын

    @@somethinguseful2935 Exactly, the play that you feel between the 1/2 to 3/4" connector as well as the 3/4 to 3/4 connector to socket play. This means that the impact wrench is losing torque at two separate places and they act as shock absorbers, therefore absorbing some of the torque that would otherwise go straight to impacting the nut or bolt. If you can find your correct socket size in 1/2 and short version (not the long version as you have tested here), give it a try and you should see positive results.

  • @jamesbroomfield7799
    @jamesbroomfield779912 күн бұрын

    ​@@somethinguseful2935yeah. I see what the guy is saying. Basically if you use an adapter to fit the proper socket, you're going to lose some power. He's saying use shorties and make sure they're direct fit, and the impact would do even better. But this impact did great nonetheless. I was debating on buying this one or go with kobalt or craftsman. But this is nearly half the price

    So, I watched a similar video on this because I have a Cordless Kobalt trimmer. My spool housing had to be removed in order for me to turn the spool. I have to lift it up to turn it. If the spool housing is on, I cannot turn it. As long as I kept some tension on the line I was turning into the spool, it was fine. After I got about 10-12ft rolled into the spool, I just put the spool cover back on. The process worked like a charm and is so much cheaper than buying the new Kobalt Spool for the trimmer.

    I have a Kobalt 80 v string trimmer model # KST 140XB-06/140XB, of course it does not match the trimmer you have in your video. I have tried to to restring it the way the the manual says to do it, plus it’s the way your video shows how to do it. I have tried to restring it a couple of times, but after I start using it and bump feed it it does not work. No feeding whatsoever. Any ideas on what to do?

  • @sunilcherianpullockaran8817
    @sunilcherianpullockaran88173 ай бұрын

    Never ever fill with grease more than 25 to 30 percent of the empty space in the bearing. With this method, 100 percent of the empty space in the bearing is packed with grease. This will overheat the bearing and resultant popping off, of the seal. Removing both side seals/shields is the only option to grease the bearing with the right amount of grease. The other issue is that one should never mix old grease with new grease, even if they are from the same manufacturer and same grade of grease. The base oil, wear additive and thickener will likely be different. Always clean off the old grease before repacking with fresh grease. To do this, we will have to remove the seal and some cases steel shields in some type of bearings. This method is good as a stop gap arrangement.
