A few month back a local subscriber reached out and gave 3 generators to the chennel. The first one I will be looking at is this Powermate Pulse generator. It appears to be in good condition, but has not been run in a while. When last used, it was running rough and leaking oil. Lets dig in and get this running like new.
I use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner.
Engine Model: 93412-0136-01
Engine Manufacture Date: June 16 1996

If you have a piece of granite counter top or plate glass you can face the carb with some 800 grit sandpaper. Then thoroughly clean carb.

I just finished one just like that and the carb was a mess and the capacitor was melted out. After replacing the 7.5 capacitor with an 8 microfarad it gave me 127 volts and cleaning the carb it was a really nice machine. It still had the battery charger cord in the bag and was never used. I picked it up for $20. Thanks James.

He used the blunt end of the bit to push it in by hand; which is far better than others I've seen before. I remember as a teen [other neighbours] starting multiple -argument*s* with- 'lectures -at- for' me because (among many other things) _someone_ didn't use the _blunt end_ of a drill bit (to do something similar), then blamed me [...] It took entirely too long for _someone_ to say "Use a clean drill bit to put it in." included using the drill _machine_ to spin it in because to him "That was ovbiously self-evident; How else do you use a drill bit!?" [...] (For a while) Things were much quieter (for me) with the neighbours after that ...

I believe the oil leak was do to the fact that the rubber bushes were missing and changed the angle of operation. In return it sends vibration to oil cap and was leaking because of no o ring.

James, your content is in a league of its own. Your unhurried mannerism makes your work precise and consistent in having either a perfect solution or a workable solution. Having watched more of your videos than I'd like to admit, I figured your preference is for 4 stroke, over-head valve engines mostly with a power head containing an AVR. If it's not too far out of the scope of your preference, can you cover a 2 stroke, 2HP engine without an AVR? Greetings from South Africa.

James, Your posts are always full of so much information. I have the same kind of 1850 generator use it a lot and it has years on it and had to use it yesterday due to power outage and it started right up. Only thing I did was put a fuel filter just after the on/off fuel valve and I use fuel stabilizer as well I try and start it ever 4 to 5 weeks and run for 15/20 minutes with a load and run carb dry when shouting down. As for oil leak had to replace rubber seals from valve springs to air box and gasket to cover and no more leaking. As for the rubber shock absorbers on bottom mine are in bad shape and have been looking for replacements and have yet to find large enough ones to fit. If I find any I'll let you know where. Keep up with post. Michael.

Used to have that model on our fire trucks to run the on scene emergency lights. Our worst problem was the ethanol fuels eating up seals and varnishing up parts. Also recommend brake parts cleaner on the oil residue. Saves a lot of wiping time and paper towels. Just have a catch pan for the run off.

I have the same generator with the same oil leak. I seems to be coming from the governor shaft. Why they designed the engine with the governor so low is beyond me, it gets splashed all the time by the oil slinger. I run mine dry cause those shutoff valves love to leak.... It is quite reliable though, usually starts on the first pull. Love the outro & the dog bark at the end!

Hi James. I bought my 1850 brand new from Home Depot back in the mid 1990's and I still have it today. The engine case on mine is bare aluminum and I noticed the one you have is painted black. I don't think that B&S ever painted those engines black in that generator. I'm guessing someone had that engine out for an engine repair and gave it a little paint to spiffy it up before putting it back in its home. Also, I had to reseal my engine case at one time because it was leaking oil like yours. Overall, a very nice machine for the money. Cheers from El Cajon, Ca.

Got one of these 1850s from my dad. Never really have used a generator before but I wanted to see if I could revive it. It had sat outside for years. Rust everywhere, literally ever single bolt on it I had to table grinder wire brush. It ran fine(first pull most times) so that wasnt the issue. Problem was it wasn't providing any voltage. Only about 5 volts. Quick internet search for 5v and it pointed to the capacitor that was rated at 7.5uf and only showing 1.2uf. Never seen a capacitor look like that before. Cleaned out like 6 dirt dauber nests, replaced ALL wire connectors, painted the gray front and back gloss black, all new rubber feet(it was even missing 1. Cleaned it up a lot and ordered new capacitor (20$ with shipping) Happy to say it works like a champ again!

Did a service job on it last week, and it runs great, even though it needs a ring job, due to compression being a bit on the low side. I picked it up cheap at a secondhand store about 2 wks, ago, not running. Plan on tearing it down for a ring/valve job, next spring.

Great video James! I gotta up my game and drop coin on the Silgent Oscilloscope ive been wanting. Brushless capacitor excited gens will always be dirty waveform because the inductor (spinning rotor) and capacitor are "ringing" which causes the higher harmonic content. Also known as a resonant circuit. Adding resistance to the output dampens the ringing cleaning up the wave form somewhat.

Any good why to cleanup the THD output on brushless or brushed generators?

@@jcondon1 not directly no. It's better to convert the dirty AC output of the generator to a battery charger powering a battery and then that would power a clean pure sine wave inverter. Look at IOTA Engineering. Their vhargers double as a well regulated PSU too

You can flat sand that carb flange smooth. The tiny bit you take off won't make any difference in mounting. I have a 3/8" steel plate mounted to my bench just for this. A thick piece of glass works well too unless you drop a cast iron flywheel on it like I did. Just keep even pressure on the carb as you run it back and forth.

"Emulsion tube" is a term with which I am unfamiliar....would you define its purpose please ? Marvelous series of videos...you have my thanks & your trouble shooting techniques are beyond reproach.

It’s the tube that goes up the center of the carb. It’s purpose it to mix fuel with air for better combustion.

Looks like some oil leak wetted those rubber legs and swollen it later parted off.
