Very complete and helpful vid. Its amazing how sensitive these small engine carb ports are to corrosion/contaminate plugging. Draining the gas and running them dry for storage saves a headache for sure.

Great video. I just finished cleaning my carb on a 3250 generator. Your video got me through the process with no problems. This is the first time I've taken a carburetor apart. The generator started up with the second or third pull and ran smoothly.

Man you just saved me a lot of headache. Main jet was clogged. Cleaned it up along with emulsion tube and cranked on third pull. Thank you so much for making this video. I owe you a beer!

Nice job Jeff: I had the same carburetor in my shop last week that had pinholes in the float bowl. Great Gasoline (not) Also had water in it. I cleaned it and put a new bowl and needle in it and it ran great, like yours did. Thanks for the video's.

Nice "Long Johns" at the 8:00 point!!! :) Love your channel, keep 'em coming.

Awesome video, I like how you show every step and detail

One of the better on-line instructional videos I've seen. Nice to hear correct names used for small parts like main jet, emulsion tube, float valve, pilot etc. Couple cautions worth mentioning though. When cleaning/clearing the the tiny orifices that empty into the throat as well as the single on the intake side of the throttle butterfly, you really need to spray cleaner with straw attachment and only spray from the inside out...same with compressed air. Those are the bottleneck of the fuel system. The gunk you so often see is a combination of ethanol residue (through striation) and polymeric residue. The striated ethanol after exposure to air (usually through the ambient pressure port) eventually takes on a crystalline structure and with all those sharp edges to bite into the soft brass, well, flushing with pressure from the wrong direction can be more than counterproductive. Also I'm sure you wet and twisted the Q-tips to avoid "fiber drop" but your viewers don't know that because they didn't see that...just saying. For all it's worth I like tapping my wire strand reamers with a hammer to flatten them and create a sraping edge. I've knit picked you (it's easy to do and I'm good at it...lol) but truth be told this is an excellent presentation and you are to be commended! One last thing...I promise...really...Those are NOT 10mm bolts, studs or nuts...they are 6mm fasteners that require 10mm tools. I know I'm overly critical and for that I apologize.

Good video make sure you include the chickens like to see how they’re doing

I ordered a new carb for mine. I got my old carb off and the bowl and float were pretty clean but the jet wouldn't come loose. I pretty much destroyed the jet trying to get it loose. So now I'm glad I ordered the new carb.

Mine had a little gunk, I wiped it out and it started on the first pull. Thanks!

Thanks for a great job my friend. I need to get mine out and clean the gas out of it

Excellent video Jeff thanks so much

This is very useful!!! My Generac generator was sitting with fuel but good thing no corrosion in the carburetor but there was spiders in it lol. Anyways fuel lines and fuel in the gas storage is been drain and ready for fresh fuel.Thank you!!!

Thanks a lot for your time and instruction. I learned a lot as well.

Awesome repair lesson!!

Your video just helped me get mine goin again, thanks for making this video

Great video. I just had someone bring me that same generator today. Same issue. Thx

Good video man it help me out with my generator. With the hurricane come at us here in Florida

Nice video, thank you 👏👏👏

This video was helpful .i subscribed to his shop

well done Jeff

Cool, good work, that looks like a CHonda

Thorough job.. 👍👍❤

Thanks I have a Generac Generator that's not been run since I've ran it years ago , but I ran it till it started spuding - and hit the choke and it should have sucked all the fuel out and burned the gas up . hopefully . If not when I need it all I'll have to do is throw gas in it - if not I'll use this video . Thanks

Awesome. Im gonna clean my generator

Great Video. Thanks and keep it up.

I like you channel .nice work .

We solved the carb problems by turning gas shut off valve while motor is running which in turn empties the carb until the next time you need to use your gen, it's a simple solution folks !

Thank you 🤗🤗

I had carb problem...tried cleaning it 2 times and it didnt work...bought a new carb on amazon for $13 ...runs like a charm...but from now on I will run it every 3 months and remove all gas .

I really like the video, because I have the same generator, and left it sitting for a year. lol Well ,I followed your instructions and advise and was successful in doing a good reconditioning of the carburetor and fuel system. I love the chickens you have, we call them FRIZZLES here in Florida. They have a personality of their own. lol, I don't know how many or types of Appliances this 3250 will run. But just glad to have it running anyway. I guess I'll have to sit down and figure out how many watts each and every Appliance draws. So far we've powered a refrigerator and a Fan to keep from burning up during a Hurricane. lol Very Glad you're doing videos , you make it so simple to work on engines, YOU"RE A GREAT TEACHER. To Bad , I can't be a neighbor of yours , every day we could drink coffee and work on engines together, we would get some of the best free labor a body could get. lol Take Care.

Nice work Jeff she's running like top. Oh where's the CHICKENS

The engine of this type is actually a subaru 4 stroke engine. I have this similar motor to generator and also mower (ryobi) i found the schematics for these engines. they range from 140cc-190cc and be of many CC's engine type to which model and torque. Unfortunately, the carbs are usually good. but its the tanks where the fuel sits gets seriously dirty and most areas to air get rusted very quickly.

Great Video. Next time clean out the Tank, Fuel line and Pepcock.

Nice

That plastic screw doesn't adjust the idle, it only keeps the pilot jet from coming out. Many of those smaller carbs have no way to adjust the pilot jet beyond replacing it with a different size.

I have an Einhell generator looks very similar to this one in positioning of carby, filter etc. Watched a different video yesterday but they didn't talk about the slow jet 9.35 min into the video! So guess what! when it didn't work I searched again for and found the best helpful video in youtube land! Took everything apart again cleaning the slow jet and found that the orings had perished. cleaned up again assembled and YIPPEE it worked beautifully! THANKS JEFF :) Will this be OK going forward without those orings? Or should I purchase new orings? Regards Paul

Great video Jeff! I have the same one I bought at a yard sale for $20. I have it running fine however it does not produce power. Any thoughts on what might be the issue? I can't find a reset button anywhere on it. Thank you!!

Great video, Jeff. Would you be able to tell me the model of generator you have there. I have the same one and the sticker is missing. I would appreciate it.

Why do you guys never install an inline fuel filter, when you have these things apart? They are cheap, and easy to install.

Do you know the part number to the float bowl gasket

Are there any metal parts anymore. Where were the chickens?

Oops * Stratified ethanol * 16 hour day and I'm turning into a zombie. Lol

Ethanol Disorder .. got stale and the ethanol/water stratified (separated out) & sunk to the bottom ... Non ethanol gas is available where allowed .. i.e. Walmart/Murphy “blue hose” is ethanol free ...

Jeff. My brand new Generac 8000 watt starts electrically no problem. Ran It fot 4 hours tested running house via inlet box. Just put 3/4 gallon of gas in. Oil level is good. Problem is it wont PULL START. ANY THOUGHTS?

85%-90% of the problems I see come through our shop is fuel/carb problems.

👍👍👍👍👍

I stripped out the soft brass main jet w/ a screwdriver and it's stuck inside the carb still. How can I get it out now? Thx for the help.

The camera is jumping all over the place! Getting motion sick! LOL Great job though!

where can you buy the pilot jet? I can not find a source> not even generac corp. I did find a carb at amazon.com. but no slow speed jets. my slow speed jet had a broken o-ring...had to buy the whole carb for $25. Found it by carb brand name and wattage GP3250. it was a viable solution, but I did not need the whole carb, I only needed the jet with the o-rings on it.

Generac looks just like my china made Harbor Freight generator.

Honda in disguise or chinese honda

Why pull the bowl off if you’re removing the carb any way, that’s how shit gets lost.

Honda clone engine

Curse you Ethanol.
