with this tutorial i might become a small engine mechanic😊😊😊.. tnx sir for sharing

Just wanted to add my thanks for this DIY video. I needed to fix the Choke problem on my generator and this DIY video showed EXACTLY what to look for and how to resolve the problem. This video is the Gold Standard for DIY videos on You Tube.

Just want to say this Video is the best done video I have ever seen on KZfaq. Factual, thorough, condensed and informative. WELL DONE ‼️

One of the best KZfaq knowledge sharing, easy understanding, great impact videos to date.

show my son this video this morning . our small farm generator would not run ,only on choke. he ummed and aahed. then started to follow video. Less than an hour after he statared it up and the thing purred away and ran on RUN. He was impressed with himself and more impressed with the clarity of all aspects of video. Many thanks from both of us. We have a small farm in Cevennes France.

Has to be one of the best videos I've ever seen on KZfaq thanks man seriously can you redo every instructional video on KZfaq when you get a chance

Just finished this repair on my Powerhorse 9000W generator, purchased in 2020. It would start in choke and stop running when placed in run. The video is SPOT ON! There was just 1 difference, the bowl. There was a component attached to the bottom of the bowl with 2 screws. I had to use my Milwaukee impact drill to remove them. Then I could remove a nut to remove the bowl. Thank you soooo much for your video. 👍

I almost turned off the video after the first 3 solutions but decided to watch to the end. Turns out I had an air leak due to faulty gaskets. Glad I stayed tune till the end. Now my lawnmower runs perfectly. You saved me from buying a new machine !

You have said soooo much knowledge, and I'm amazed at how well you explained Thank you and good job, sir! Coming from an old man with mad skills, I'm impressed!!!

Thank you for the content.... Gen had been setting for 2 years... Stalled at idle... Cleaned it per video... Fired right up. Thx brother! 😊

We have used the kzfaq.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

Hi "Home Battery Bank" I'm so happy now!!, i removed the carburetor, unscrewed and cleaned both main and idle jets, despite not being able to see any dirt, and now, for the first time since I bought, it runs absolutely regular. Thanks for your tutorial!

Thx a lot! I'm new to engines. Destins video on carbs made me dare to try, and your video made me succeed. You are awesome at educating - keeping it to the bare facts, showing just what is needed. Great stuff :)

Probably the best explained video on operation and fix of a engine/carb I've ever seen. Well done man!

This was the perfect fit for my 37 Ton Champion Log Splitter. After watching this video I was able to clean my carb and exactly as stated in this video, there was a tiny piece of dirt in the emulsion part and every time I turned off the choke, it would stall. I took it apart as directed in this video, cleaned it with a small wire and now it's running perfectly. The only thing I would add to the video is mentioning the tiny "O" rings on the piece below the idle screw. Mine popped off while cleaning and lucky I had a white towel below so I easily found it. Great video, thanks!

Mate, you have absolutely saved my bacon with this video. The pilot jet was the culprit and I was going mad trying to troubleshoot the carburetor on my generator. I have literary done it all except for the pilot jet, until I saw your video that is. Now we're back in business. The whole video is super easy to follow, so thanks for taking the time to post it.

Thanks buddy Well explained and practically simple without much dismantle

Best explanation and video regarding this carburetor.... hands down. Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time share your wisdom. Your video eliminated the intimidation factor and I can't wait to fix my generator and my power washer. They both have the same problem. Again, thanks!

I've rebuilt a few carbs before, but all I did was clean every part and port I encountered. My 2000 W Champion generator was waffling and required half-choke to run. Following these steps fixed both issues. I appreciate videos that don't waste time with the weather outside, pets, and trying to act cutesy or clever. After a brief description of basic carb functions, it got straight to the instructions. Well done!

Excellent! Honda 2000 Needed a carb cleaning but still stalled off choke. Ran for 10 minutes gradually reducing choke and voila! All good now. These are awesome generators. 😉

Hi, thanks for your help solving the problem on my Honda GX200. I did evrything you suggested: new fuel, clean main jet, emulsion tube, pilot jet. It now works as it should. I looked on other youtube posts, but they didn't fill me with confidence. Thanks again from England.

Gran vídeo Broo; simple explicación verbal y visual, justo lo que necesitaba. Let’s go to fix my generator!!!

Cheers, I’m gonna try all you have shown to cure my problem of the choke. Thank you so much for the info’.👍☺️

Well explained procedure to clean carburetor I've seen so far on youtube. This fixed my power washer choke issue. Thank you very much!!

Thank you, not sure if it was #1 or #2 or 33 but i cleaned them all and it worked - thank you for the great info - i appreciate all the insights on what it could be and how to fix it, you seem like a really cool dude, wish i had a neighbor like you!👍

Excellent video! I had to run on partial choke. Would still run fully open, but far from smoothly. Duromax XP4400E. I knew it wasn't bad gas, so I did the carb things you suggested. The jet and tube holes didn't seem clogged at all, but I ran the tiny wire through them anyway. I tried the same on the teeny tiny jet, but it seemed the wire was slightly too big to go all the way through, so I sprayed some brake cleaner in it. Wire still wouldn't go through so I put it back together not expecting the issue to be solved, but it was. Runs perfectly now. Thanks!

This is a fantastic video! Explanation is clear and easy to follow. Now we'll see if I can actually perform these fixes and find the problem. Thank you for publishing this video!

Excellent rundown

Thank you for this video. I fired up my generator today for the first time in six months we have rare extreme cold coming to south east Texas to start Christmas weekend and I don't trust that ERCOT has our grid ready since the big freeze caused rolling blackouts in Feb 21. I noticed the generator would sputter/stall with no choke and would run fine with about 1/3 of the choke applied. I didn't use any fuel stabilizer so I added some and also removed and cleaned the pilot jet and allowed the generator to get nice n hot and now it's running smooth with no choke. Again thank you for the video and the clarity of instructions.

Exactly what I needed. Generator up and running normal again. Super easy fix.

Excellent explanation, thanks.I'll try this now on my EU2000i which only runs on full choke

Great video!!! I took the bowl off, the gas was really old, and it was full of junk that looked like sawdust. Normally I would just buy a new carb, install it and call it a day. I have never had success cleaning the carb and getting it to work. I followed this video, all four steps, and like magic, my generator runs like new!!! Thank you, you saved me $80 for a new carb!!!

Thank you for all your helpful information. Easy to follow without making me feel like more of an idiot that I know I am. Worked like a charm.

Thank-you!!! First time pulling apart a carb, great instruction. Found the clog, cleared, and now generator is purring like a kitten. Very thankfull I happened upon this video.

I thought I seen it all...this tutorial is a Master piece... Thanks a mil..You are the Best..

Thanks for this video. Fixed my generator using this as guide. 🙏🏼🙏🏼👌👌👌

I knew about 1 &2 but needed#3 to fix my problem. Thanks 👍

Got to say this is the most helpful video I’ve watched on these Hondas and clones well done!

Absolutely brilliant video, explained so well. Thankyou from NZ

Great explanation and a very helpful, after following all these instructions now my jet washer is running like a fine Swiss Watch All the best fella 👍

Very good video, the dedication of time and the explanation, it helped me a lot, thank you very much for the contribution.

Thank you for sharing! I just cleaned carb and tank but didn't know about that screw in the carb. Will try that and see if runs open... Thanks again!

I'm well versed in this but this is a GREAT video!!! I learned from KZfaq but this definitely compiled a lot of what I had to learn over time into one video. Especially about the pilot screw and cleaning out behind it.

The best diy vid yet. Thank you. Explained everything I wanted to know and taught me everything I didn't know I needed to know as well. Please keep these coming

Your video got me through a mfer of a time. I had the carb out 3 times before your tips got me in the right areas. Step 2 and 3 solved what I didn't on my own. Thanks a million for your help!

Very well explained!. I have a Honda EP1000 4 stroke generator for about 2 years now.

Great info my petrol compressor has been running like a dream until I started having a problem that it would only run on half chocke...I will carry out the checks

I am not a mechanic, but understand the principles of the simple gasoline engine. Rarely do I undertake mechanical repairs or troubleshooting without encountering multiple issues that i will not go into here. But I watched this video and followed your instructions, and solved the problem on my Champion generator without any mishaps. Other than losing the spring on the float pin and having to make a trip to O'Reilly's for some serious carb cleaner to get the green varnish out, and my generator hummed to life and started to sputter until I turned the choke down, and then off.... it ran for plenty of time without a hitch. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, it helped save me a great deal of frustration and money paying someone else or replacing it after I killed it.

Great job on this video. One of the best I have seen.

Excellent and helpful content. Thanks for sharing this information.

Very detailed video 🤓. Generator maintenance school is in session. Your guidance and explanation of trouble shooting is very helpful getting my generator operating smoothly. Thanks

My generator and carb are a bit different than those shown and I didn’t know about the jet on top. So naturally that was the blocked jet. Thanks, your video made me have a look and fix the generator. A big thumbs up 👍🏻

Thank you!!! I have had a problem with my generator that it will only run with the choke slightly closed. I had cleaned the carburetor 2 times and checked the needle valve, ect. The key was that secondary black screw trick where the tube was clogged with a piece of dirt. It runs perfect now!!!

Fantastic video! Nice job! Thank you so much for this video!

Hi, I'm writing from Spain, my brand new chinese ac generator 4 stroke gas engine powered, from the begining has only runned smoothly with the choke lever at mid range. I carefully read and listened to your excellent video and I'll try to check all the jet screws, main and idle. I'll do that tomorrow and I'll publish here the result. Thanks a lot for such a well performed and didactical video.

Excellent vid. Respect from The UK. Thank you

Thank you so much! This was super easy to follow.

Did it...it worked...cant thank you enough

Very good video. I will now try to solve my problem. Thanks

Thanks a lot. This was awesome. Thanks for sharing these tips.

Holy crap!!! It actually worked!! Thank you!! Top notch tutorial!!

Thank you sir! Power is out here and the generator stalled after a couple of minutes. Drained the 2 year old gas out. Took off the carb bowl and there was a lot of funk on the bottom. Took the main jet out and it was clogged. Put it back in after cleaning everything and it fired right back up! I almost gave up.

Awesome this sounds exactly what mine is doing. Going to work on it tomorrow thanks

Awsome! 😀👏 Fixed my generator straight away!

Thank you, my Generator runs great thanks to your video.

Thanks brother, helped me out big time!!🙏

Great video, many thanks!

Thank you. Great exact procedures.

Excellent video

Pilot jet was my issue! Thank you!!!

Yup! Clogged orifice. Thanks for the help!

One of the best videos ever

Very good explanation

Really appreciate this video it help. Me get my gen to work again

Great video! 👍👍

Awesome video mate. Only made to probability #2 and the generator had/has never run better. Great job.

My Honda EP650 won't run with the choke, I suspected a blocked jet. You made it look easy Bud, so I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks, I fix my generator y 10min without taking the carburator out. Great video!

Great explanation…thanks!

I’m new to your channel. Thanks for the video, got my generator running in less than 10 minutes. It was a clogged main jet.

Thanks that's was great advice, AJ

Awesome video

That worked. Fixed my EU3000is generator with this technique.

very good video you explain it very well thank you, and keep doing more👍

Excellent info! Mahalo!

Thanks for offering your information. I cleaned my carburetor, change the oil and spark plug, and filled up my gas tank. I regularly used my generator. But now it still will not start. Previously it was only running on choke, so now it won't start at all

Great video. Thanks

Thats one of a hell very very good explanation 👌💯

Many thanks, really great video, will let you know if it does the trick with my generator

Thanks great video much appreciated

thanks i'll do this tommorow!

Thanks boss...wel explained

Great video thank you

Thanks so much man!

Good video.

Thankyou so much for this. Your explanation was perfect. Just bought a second hand one and it won’t idle after the choke is off. Just one thing. What is the small screw on the left of the carby for? The one sitting all by itself?.

Thanks man!

Excellent 👌

Thanks good job 👍👍👍👍🙂
