Right now in maine, where i live, there is insane flooding and power outages. I have this generator to power my house, wife and 1 year old. I am a firefighter and am responsible for taking care of the community. This video helped me take care of my family, so i could take care of others. Thank you.

Thank you for making this video. I’m going through a similar process on this generator that has sat for years. One thing that you didn’t address in the video was removing the spark plug. I can’t seem to get a spark plug socket onto the plug due to the fins on the top of the engine. I guess I’ll have to find a thin walled spark plug socket somewhere that will allow me to replace the plug with a new one. Weird…

You are on the right track. Some spark plugs are a tight fit and a thin wall socket is the only way to get to them. Another option is to buy a chainsaw “scrwrench” or screwdriver-wrench. It is a t-handle type tool that has a stamped steel spark plug socket in the handle.

wow I have a similar coleman 5000 and it never starts that easy usually after 20 pulls and close to a heart attack later it will start

Either a fuel delivery issue or a dirty carburetor. You pulling on full choke the first few times to prime the system?

What is the red light on the on off switch that flashes when engine is trying to turn over?

Yeah, dug into a few of these... sadly imported copies of the carb can cost less than a carb kit...

Can you just buy a new carberator?
@SouthpawWorkshop11 ай бұрын
Definitely possible, but I would only do that if I couldn’t use what was already on the machine

Yeah, this was an old generator I got for free from someone, so it probably isn’t sold in stores anymore.
