Recommend first empty old fuel and never try to crank using old fuel. It chemically separates and can damage your engine. Drain the fuel, empty the carb too...then refill with clean fuel and try it. Good luck!

When I was a boy, all our gas engines on mowers, generators, etc., was shut off by the little tab grounding out the spark. You got an oldie but a goodie there.

Great video! Always nice to see an old reliable put back into working order. Good job! Also want to thank you for your video on repairing an entrance door, it saved me a time and money. Keep up the good work!

Have similar unit with the same leaks. Started by replacing fuel shut off (amazed parts available!) and next going to concentrate on carb. Video helps explain what I’m in for.

just picked one up from a garage sale for $30. Just about to strip the carb and see how it goes from there . I am no mechanic so wish me luck !

Just got one for $75 same one your not supposed to have a load on it when your starting it cool now i know how to clean carb and basic maintenance thanks bro!!

To shut off your generator, push down on that little metal tab hanging over the spark plug. This grounds out the plug and shuts off your engine. Great video!

just picked one of these up for FREE, bone dry empty clean fuel tank, all the paperwork, yada yada yada... between you and Mustie 1 I should be up and running over this New Year's weekend, no worries. I'm feelin' this guy, rocking the Crocs and socks, skol!

Thank you for your video

I've had one for 40 years. Amazing. Clean or change carb. Put in clean gas and a good fuel line, always starts.

My generator (Coleman with 8 HP Briggs and 4000 watt generator) been sitting since 2002. I cleaned the carb and tank, new gas, spark plug, fuel filter and oil change. Started after a couple of pulls on the pull cord. All working as intended.

You got it. Thanks.

Thank you for this video, found one of these sitting in an old collapsed shed for ten years. I've got a different model, couldn't find the exact one online but managed to fix everything so far on my own. Was wondering if it was possible to check the spark on the spark plug without a detector? I might just replace the plug and hope for the best if not. Also, in order to see if the system is under pressure and has no leaks, did you use sound to diagnose that? If so, mine sounds like any other engine when "starting", so hopefully it should be good. Thank you again! Very informative!

Start stop choke is up and shut off is spark plug on top short out.

You should always check the oil before trying to start an old engine.

Careful, I've had old gasoline gum up a engine to the point where valves no longer open and closed properly. Some were stuck open, wouldn't budge at all.

The 2 120 recepacles are 20 amps each. Rated at 30 amp total. Can a splitter be used in parallel to get 30 amps to an rv?

I have one exactly like that and they are bulletproof just cleanum and go

What did you all the carb in to get it that clean!!!!????

I wouldn't have messed with it until that old gas was removed.

It's always the carburetor

Hey I found one of these on Craigslist for $60! It started and runs and makes power! I just changed the oil and I need to replace the air filter. And I think a new spark plug would help things. I wanted to know where I can get replacement parts.

I picked one of these up for $45 last week, non running.. We'll see. It's running like a hit and miss at the moment.. We'll see.

Is this model of generator suitable for a 120V welder that draws up to 20A?

Is there any way to change the muffler on it to make it quieter? Also what type of oil would you use in that? I have the same brand generator but mine is the 4400 version.

Remove air filter spray starting fluid
