Buddy ur camera skills suck help trying

Good job your Dad and Uncle Richard would be proud of you 🇺🇸🙏🏻

Thank you so much! Worked great.

Really can’t tell much by the video moving around so much 😢😢😢

I’m sure you do more often but run it no less than once per month and put a decent load on it for 10 minutes.. My Generac says once a week but that’s unnecessary.

Nice explanation.

Wearing a gold wedding ring and useing a car battery with wires? I saw a guy lose his finger when he got the baterry`s two wires of a 850 amp 12 volt across this finger and the gold ring.

You talked me into it! I’ve been considering doing this with my 2007 Arctic Cat! Thanks for the video!

I do the same thing with mine, connecting an extension cord to my 12 V battery and then simply plugging it into one of the outlets. It only takes about a second or two but you wouldn’t have to take off the powerhead cover and it’s very very easy.

Was that the wires going to the brushes?? Kinda hard to see. Thanks for the video!

Where are you living it’s looks awesome

I'm NOT a yooper, nor do I have a rusty Chevrolet ! But I do have a Coleman Powermate 5000 that I'm restoring, and this bit of advice will go a long way !

Very annoying camera work.

Hope those seeds winter well and bring a great harvest next year!

It would have been nice if you showed how the winch attached to the bracket. I’ve got the same machine and am getting ready to mount it.

Very cool!

I did use this method all the time and never failed me once

That's crazy. Didn't know a generator could lose magnetism.

Good to see yooper videos. I’m a transplanted yooper living in Wisconsin. Good video

On my personal gen I have a set of leads maded up and in zip lock bag tied to machine, no looking for them 😊😊😊

If you flash the coil reverse-polarity by accident, do you then need to up the voltage by 0.5v in the correct direction to fix it? (twice the power)? Maybe it will be 180 degrees out of phase and the exciter won't work?

Could you please try and keep the camera still. I'm still nauseous.

You lose your residual voltage because you shut the generator with the load still connected. Shut the circuit breaker before you kill the engine.

My Generac 40KW PTO has a terminal outside for flashing the field. It doesn't need to be a huge battery. I use a 9 volt and it works instantly.

I heard your helper telling you how to do it Love hearing a child around dad or mom working Keep them safe my friend 👍

never mind the flashing, why on earth do you have a suicide cord ? backfeeding your panel with it is plain stupid and dangerous .

This is ONE of the reasons that stand-by home generators automatically start up and run once a week. Remembering to give your generator some exercise from time to time is a GOOD Thing.... get the stale fuel out of the carb, and check everything for health. NOTHING worse than needing it and having it give you the finger.

Get a corded drill turn on the on switch of the generator plug in the drill and manually turn the drill and it will create a new magnet field for the stator.

Machines with batteries hooked to them (electric start) won't have this issue either.

This is most common with smaller popcorn gensets. Hey, run them for 5 minutes couple times a year....and don't forget to shut off the gas and run the carb dry to save yourself a headache. I have a couple older rope start jobs and never have to do what you are doing. I am guessing you have a slight parasitic draw down....if you do...once the motor shuts down...turn the power/ignition switch BACK ON. that should end the parasitic draw...better still figure out what is causing and fix it...but for lazy people turn the ignition switch back on. Now you have to remember to do that....

I wonder if something else is wrong that is causing the loss of magnetism in the rotor.

I find it easier to use a corded drill. Plug it into a socket with the generator off, pull the trigger and spin the drill by hand.

Those spring brackets are long af ! I wish i wouldn't have made mine like the stock 2" ones and kept them at a 3" drop

Thank you for posting this!

Great video, thanks for posting! This is exactly the reason when we travel in our travel trailer, I carry 2 spare leaf springs, shackles, bolts, equalizer and 3 jacks. Plus, an array of tools. I'd hate to have one break and be stuck on the side of the highway for 8 or 9 hours waiting for a tow truck to tow me back to their facility. Once at their facility, they probably won't have the parts and you will probably have another 2 or 3 days waiting to get them. In addition, I even carry a set of wheel bearings for my rig. If you travel with these travel trailers or 5th wheels, you should consider doing this. Even if you don't have the knowledge, tools, or are physically unable to do the repair yourself, someone could fix you right up if you had the spare parts.

CHINA BOMB isn't just tires made in CHINA...it applies to all suspension components!!!! JUNK!!!!!!!!

cool video - very helpful - how do you measure the spring to get the replacement length ?

I like the milk crate mod, I did the same on my Sportsman.

Hey can you drop a link for that Amazon plow? I got the same quad figure it worked well for you

Yo good job keep it up

Do you need a Solenoid I don’t plan on drinking too much power

Don’t forget to swap out the fair lead. Looks like synthetic rope.

Snowplowing with atv is fun, that is what I have been mostly doing this winter with my cforce 520 🤣 I subscribed to you and will follow your journey.

Yep, same trailer but with slide out. Have broke several springs over the years. Finally removed lots of needless gear to lower weight. However, these springs are junk.

haha, good video. Your daughter made it, my kids are grown now but my daughter when she was little was glued to my hip, especially on projects like this. You're gonna miss it

Thanks for the information, I am saving your video in case I run into this situation in the future.

PB Blaster is king!

I'm wishing we had some of that snow nowadays in this blistering heat!

Nice to see you still running uncle Richards dozer.Brings back a lot of good memories.🙏🏻🙏🏻

Nice to see you guys doing the Maple Syrup I will have to get some,When I’m up there in June
