Vintage Fairbanks Ward Generator - Will It Run Again?

A local subscriber Kyle came across this Fairbanks Ward generator when cleaning out a friends garage. I have never heard of this brand never mind seen one before. It is powered by a 5 HP Kawasaki FD210D flathead engine and produces 2500 watts. Unfortunately old fuel was left in the tank and it is a mess. There is no information about this model available online and most parts are long discontinued and not available used. Will it run and make power again?

Used a couple of those Kawasaki engines over the years here in Oz - still got at least one somewhere. Pretty near indestructible. We used them instead of Breaks and Scrap 'em because they outlasted any B&S considerably on marine hydraulic plants. A mate was a major Kawasaki dealer, so it was a no brainer for me - there are dozens of these engines on farms all around my district running augers etc. and they have a very good reputation because they just keep going and start easy. Never seen one with that much crud in the tank though, that's pretty extreme... I've done very well with Acetone with grunged up tanks on old engines, seems to really melt the heavy varnish away overnight.

To fasten the yellow tubing on the brass rod, you can use stainless steel “safety” wire, wound around twice, then twisted (available from several RC turbine vendors). We use it for RC jet fuel systems. Making a very small flare on the end of the brass rod helps too.

@googacct 4 ай бұрын

There is also a tool that allows you to make a clamp using safety wire. The wire is doubled over, wrapped around the line and through the loop. The tool is used to help cinch the wire down tight.

Growing up, we had a Fairbanks Ward generator that was the big brother to this one! Same red color. Early to mid 1980's vintage. Ours was 4000 watts, powered by an 8HP (I think) Tecumseh. It never ran perfect, always being hard to start and would hunt a little bit with no load. After my father passed away, I was getting it going for my mother and knowing way more about engines at that point, was able to get it running PERFECTLY after cleaning and adjusting the main jet open just a hair. Great old units - both yours and the one my family had. :)

I tried finding some information on Fairbanks Ward, and I totally struck out. I found one more generator that sold in an estate auction and a few more random tools, but no information whatsoever on the company itself, beyond that it seemed to be based out of Chicago. This is obviously a pretty rare machine, and is really unique in the way it was built. I think it is one that should definitely be preserved for the future. Nice save.

I also tried finding information about Fairbanks Ward. I found a few items including a milling machine and a dinner set. I wonder if it was one of those companies which just badged other (quality) products under their own name. Interesting when you consider that the trend now is to make cheap products under the name of once reliable brands. I've learned the hard way to research the actual manufacturer of products rather than go by the name. No more Toshiba, Panasonic, JVC, Hitachi, Finlux.

This video has given me an idea for a slow rotating wall mounts motor. Something with a shaft that you could slide a piece of round stock over with a snug fit drill and tap it for a lock down screw on the shaft. The other end could have a flange with four holes to screw a rectangular piece of wood maybe 12“ x 6“ with a piece of wood to act as a shelf with a bracket so you can set a small gas motor tank including a motorcycle tank on that piece of wood, hold it in place with a bungee cord, and let it rotate with screws or bolts in it and just rotate like a rock Tumbler.

@chuckpenrose9826 5 ай бұрын

to get that jet out use a torx driver that is just a little larger than the opening in the brass jet that is above the actual jet orifice "hole". Get one you have to tap in. The torx bit will grab the inside diameter and allow you to put some force on it. you can save the jet as well.

I bought a1973 Honda 175 XL(on/off road bike) that'd sat for 20 some yrs. It cleaned it all up and put extreme off road tires on it and a 16" rear sprocket for going real slow. It ran OK at first, but one time 500 miles away at deer camp it started to have a hesitation when opening the throttle. Looking inside the carb, a "chunk" of varnish had come loose and was floating between the main jet and the discharge orifice. W/ very few tools out in the woods, I could not get the main jet out, so I just kept poking itt with a wire and penetrating oil in the passage. It finally broke up and I could clean it out good. Then it ran like new again. Innovation, persistence and a little knowledge pays off when it's important. ben/ michigan

I had the exact same generator but made by Dayton. Same engine though. I has the same issue with nasty gas in the tank, and cleaned it up just like you did. Of all the generators I've owned and repaired over the years, this unit always ran the best, and had dead on perfect frequency and voltage, unloaded and loaded. Smooth as anything. Really solid unit!

Its always great to see the old school generators resurrected by someone as knowledgeable and wise as you James. I could practically smell the vanish from here in the UK James, especially once you were mixing and cleaning it, you must have stunk like an you bathed in varnish... I know I did when I was refurbishing my emergency power plant earlier this year. The wife said she could smell me before she saw me... Bravo sir, as your patient was worth the effort and it would make a bally good backup genny for sensitive electronics as they love a good sine wave and can take the voltage on the chin all day long... Its always fab to see you persevere James, as most people just chuck in the towel as the first sign of hard work....Happy new year :)

Hi James, should you first loosen the plug then blow all the debris, years ago the auto manuals stated that you loosen the plugs then run the engine to use the compression to clear the chips away and then remove them, many engines had scoring in the cylinders probably due to junk through the plug hole. although almost nobody did this.

I have a Dayton generator that uses a Briggs engine. I got it dirt cheap because it had no compression, it was an exhaust valve rusted in "open" position. I got it to run with a valve job & new head gasket and it made power. I haven't played with it lately. I should pull it out again.

One trick I learned on complete accident is to boil the tank in water with cascade dish washing powder. You can be generous with the powder. Once it boils then reduce the heat to maintain it just hot enough to not boil. Submerge the tank in a pot and not boil the water in the tank directly. It’s an old trick I use to bring stainless steel pots to a like new finish removing Burt on foods and grease that are to hard to remove with basic scrubbing or running in the dishwasher. I ran into the same issue with a fuel tank on a lawn mower I restored. I remembered trying this trick with the pans and thought it wouldn’t hurt. It worked pretty well and was able to salvage the tank. Note: this does not work with aluminum at all. Just steel and stainless steel. It’s a definite for stainless though.

@danielburke8350 5 ай бұрын

I would surmise that the opposite is most likely true - that this is a Fairbanks Ward product that was rebranded as a Dayton, rather than the other way around. Dayton is one of Grainger's house brands, and like Sears-Roebuck, Grainger purchased products manufactured by others and put their own brand names on them. Dayton is one, Speedaire is another.

Great vid as always, little tip on oiling filters if you don't want oil all over your hands you can put a cap full in a zip lock bag and work the oil around the bag then drop in the filter seal the bag and work it into the filter, I find it evenly and nicely coats the filter with no mess and is reusable!

Another great project Jim! It's great to see another vintage machine put out clean power. Just a note on the carb, maybe you could leave the throttle disconnected from the throttle body (since it is removeable) when installing the governor linkage. Install the carb to the intake sans the throttle lever first; thread the linkage on to the throttle lever and then replace the lever in to the throttle body. Maybe this could work and save you some effort?
