Very nice and complete video on carburetor maintenance. Excellent job. Thank you Firman.

This was an excellent video and I'm glad I found it. 👍I was in the middle of working on my 3650's carb and wasn't certain I was going down the right path. Found this video after seeing a couple others. This one gave me confidence I was doing it right and I was able to finish up with confidence. Glad the tech support number was in the comments. Might be something to include in the videos.

Thank you for this video! I bought the 7500 running watt dual fuel generator last year during the Texas winter storm that caused black outs and it was a life saver for me and my family. I’m hoping this is what is causing my problem because I’m really needing this generator at the moment. Update: read your manual and tighten OHV as recommended.

Hello. I have a small engine repair business now located in Kaneohe Oahu. I have set up with Firman for repair work but have an issue with a generator. I have ordered a new recoil to replace the defective one and a new carburetor. The main issue is this Firman 3650 P03607 Generator pull start recoil is hard to pull and pulls back almost ripping it out of your hand. I've adjusted the valve clearance. I pulled the spark plug and it spins over easy, but once the plug is installed it's hard to pull

Great Video. I have a small engine repair business in Kaneohe Oahu Hawaii. I talked with Firman and they said I would have to buy a complete carburetor because they don't have rebuild kits. Also , my P03607 3650W is really hard to pull start. Any recommendations?

@earlatkins9559 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for posting this video. I have been having problems starting my generator. The spark plug is always saturated with gasoline. I go through the steps to start it, and when I pull the start cord, nothing happens. Every time I take out the spark plug it is saturated with gas. We dry it all out and replace the plug, then go through the procedure of turning on the gas, flipping the switch, and then pulling the cord. Nothing. Would the float be sticking? It's obviously getting enough/to much gas.

I have a problem with my Firman dual fuel model with the 439cc engine. For some reason gasoline is getting into the oil. The generator runs for a short while and then dies. While changing the oil we noticed gas in it. I pulled apart the carburetor and found nothing really conclusive but the aerator seemed tarnished although the holes in it did not really look clogged. I can not attach a photo to this comment. I can only think that the fuel is running very rich and as it does not fully burn, it sinks past the piston rings into the sump. What does anyone think?

Question for the smaller brushless generators. Firman P01202 1500 starting watt 1200 running watts. Does the rotor have an exciting magnet so that the magnetic Flux doesn't drain over prolonged periods of time while storing. If it doesn't have a permanent excitation magnet, at what voltage does one need to reflash or reflux it and what proper procedure does one use to do this? Does this model also have a capacitor that needs to be reloaded?? Does the drill method work in the excitation process??? Hopefully I can get an answer soon.

@Robnord1 5 ай бұрын

If yours is a dual fuel type with the large fuel selector knob; Before turning the knob all the way to 'Off' position (using gasoline) , just stop short of the point it actually kills the ignition. Let it run until carb burns out all fuel there, then turn fully to off position.

Depending on where its coming out of the unit. More than likely it will need to sent to a small engine shop nearby unless it is coming out of the dipstick area or oil drain bolt. IN this case you would simply reach out to Tech Support for a replacement part shipped to you. info@firmanpowerequipment.com

You can simply turn off the fuel valve and run the generator until it dies to run the fuel out of the carb.

@marknye51.thefixitguy Жыл бұрын

The carburetor needs to be cleaned. The surging is caused by not getting the proper air and fuel mixture. As he described in the video , disassemble the carburetor and give it a good cleaning. Use an air compressor to blow out the small orifices and use a very small needle or wire to clean the jet and emulsion tube. Sometimes it takes a couple of good cleaning but as a small engine mechanic I have found that just one of these holes being plugged will cause your engine to surge or run rough.

@harrylimb8821 Жыл бұрын

Great video! Note for models with remote start, there will be an additional piece of equipment on top of the carburetor that seems to regulate the choke. Make sure you reattach the control receptacle on bottom of this piece to the brass post on top of the choke when reassembling the carburetor assembly.

@eddierey5202 9 ай бұрын

Yes! I removed the air filter to access the pipe that connects to the carburetor (to empty the gas tank) and that little choke assembly came apart so I had to piece it all together. I hope I didn’t break anything!

The end of the video spends some time explaining the correct orientation for the air filter cover however the cover orientation at the start of the video and indeed the orientation in the all the Firman pictures of generators and the product manual for my P03612 shows it differently. Please clarify. Thanks.

@marknye51.thefixitguy Жыл бұрын

If your engine is running with the Choke partially or fully closed then the issue is still in the carburetor. It's not getting the fuel. Check the needle and level of the float. The needle should have a rubber tip on the end. These wear out when stale fuel is left in the carburetor and engine. Use good carburetor cleaner and a small wire or needle to clean out all the small orifices and the emulsion tube. Check your gaskets that they are not torn allowing too much air in.
