GREAT video...my Firman won't start, and I suspect it is bad gas...been sitting for an extended time. Plan on cleaning Carb this weekend. Questions...when I drain the gas from the tank, can I burn it in my lawn mower or truck with no problems? Also, what are the steps to removing the air filter/housing?

Having issues uploading a photo…it’s the larger screw that secures the bottom cup of the carburetor to the top. The larger rubber gasket to the inside of the carb (when screwed in) is frayed-can you buy this part by itself?

Thank your, yes you are a life saver. Hope you make some money on video. I have the 3 gas option generator for using the house natural gas. Its hard wired to the house electrical panel. with a lock- out. Much like a whole house generator but not automatic. When I hook it up it runes everything, but my Geothermal furnace. It also runs the furnace fan. with my gas fire place running I can keep the house fairly warm. Thank you for having a desire to help people. God Bless

If I leave the generator running for a hour or two will it recharge the battery? I have a pull start on it to. But I started it with a portable battery jump. I don’t have a slow charger right now but was wondering if i just left it running will it charge up the battery again. Thanks

@chrisdixon2525
@chrisdixon2525 6 ай бұрын
I just take the fuel line off the carb. And drain old gas out of the tank. I spray carburetor cleaner in the tank and attach an old piece cloth to a wooden stick or dowel rod and wipe the interior of the tank as much as possible. Pour a little gas in and swish it around and drain it. Repeat until tank is free from rust and crud. Install inline fuel filter between tank and carb. Fill with gas and change the fuel filter as needed . Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for more helpful videos. 🙂👍🏼 If ya need more help, let me know. I'll make a video to help ya.

Excellent instructions. Some questions: 1. Will the carburetor cleaner damage the rubber on the tip of the needle valve in the float? 2. Will the inline fuel filter interfere with the gravity feed of the fuel? 3 Did you determine if it has an in tank filter?
@chrisdixon2525
@chrisdixon2525 7 ай бұрын
I guess over time it might. I try not to soak the tip just wipe it off. I've never had a issue with the filters I use.i guess there's potential if the filter was super restrictive. There usually is a small filter in the on off valve but I didn't pull this particular one apart. Fuel free flowed freely when I had it apart. Thanks for watching. I'm not a certified professional mechanic. But I do normally end up with a pretty good repair. I do appreciate your feedback 🙂👍🏼

Hey @alexsails80 we use Tri-mix gas made for Stainless 90%helium 7.5% argon 2.5% co2. Stainless don't flow as well as carbon usually run a little hotter using basically the same techniques as carbon you just need to put the puddle where you want it because it's not gonna flow as well as carbon. Right Gas will help if you hadn't been using the tri-mix Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

I've watched four people do this operation. Either I'm deaf or none of you folk have clearly explained which line is the fuel return and which is the in-flow-suction line. One person strongly directed pushing the fuel filter down into the portion of the tank that lays under the recoil unit.
@chrisdixon2525
@chrisdixon2525 9 ай бұрын
Hey Daniel the location of the line in the tank really doesn't matter. If you're not sure, the line with the filter is in-flow. If you're still not sure just pump the bulb with both lines attached one will pump out the other will suck in. Just note the suction and install in the tank with filter attached and make sure the filter lays in the bottom of the tank. Hope this helps. If not let me know.
