the 20 amp duplex receptacle on mine broke as soon as I plugged something into mine fresh out of the box. The black face literally caved in and fractured. I removed it, and installed a Hubble commercial grade WHITE duplex. Better receptacle material AND being white, it is easier to find/plug into in low light conditions.

What you have done to your generator is awesome. I have a question, I have the same generator and thing is running but stays on overload mode. I've done everything but still stays on Overload any ideas what it can be.
@gphilpot129 күн бұрын
@@juanito1jio2jian3 I know when mine has tripped, I powered it down, and unplugged everything for it to reset. If yours won't, then it could be the control panel or a short in the system somewhere. The internal wires experience a lot of vibration and not uncommon the protective insulation gets worn.

Hi Greg, I have a question and hope you can help me as it seems you know a LOT more than I do working on these generators. My 3500 is about 7 years old and I have gotten my use out of it. I change the oil about every two weeks and the spark plug once a year. So the problem is this season I took the generator out of my garage to use it and it wouldn't start, seems the battery was dead and the pull cord is broken. So I put the battery on my charger and it showed it was dead and couldn't charge it. So I replaced it with a good Mighty Max battery and put it in and she ran fine. Now fast forward two weeks and the generator won't start again and acts as if the battery is dead. So I was up working on the property and used my jumper cables to fire the generator up and ran fine. When I turned it off it would not start up again. I took the battery home and put it on the charger and it shows the battery is fully charged. So I have NO idea what is wrong and hope that someone like you with experience can help me out as I need the old girl this summer. Thanks.

@@mrgreenbudz37 Man that is a doozy. The round dial you turn for Off/Start/Choke actually turns off the batter when not in use. I am wondering if that is the issue. The dial is not turning off the battery property. If not that, you could have a parasitic draw from a wire that has vibrated over time grounding out the battery maybe?? May have to get a multi meter and check for grounds. Also, make sure your connections to the starter aren't loose. The positive battery wire should go to the starter and the negative to the motor and frame (I think).

Sounds like your bikes charging system is faulty, not your battery.
@gphilpot14 ай бұрын
Bike's charging system is confirmed healthy. The battery performed poorly on other machines. Even A to Z Batteries don't suggest them any more. It's really the design of the safety on the battery itself. LiLead needs to allow for an additional second of cranking before it drops to safety shutdown mode. Also, research says standard charging systems for bikes are not designed to support Lithium charging cycles. Makes sense as all my quality chargers select between standard, AGM, and Lithium. But definitely a good suggestion. I did find the regulator died way before I tried to move to a lithium battery. I bought a quality replacement version.

Great video and truly an eye opener for me. I got a used Predator 3500 at Harbor Freight and it was great for a while. Now it wont start and i am learning as I go as dont know much about engines. I can't even find a local repair place for it. I got a new spark plug, and i going to clean the carburator. Now, the hard plastic boot that goes over the plug creacked and there is a small triangle shape gap. Would this be a big problem? I saw another video where the owner had to practically dismantle most of the generator to replace that spark plug boot wire. Any help I can get I will appreciate. Once again, thank you for the great video.
@gphilpot17 ай бұрын
Thank you and hope the vid helped. The only time the speak plug wire boot could be an issue is if it is grounding (you will see a small spark jump form the boot to the engine). But that is highly unlikely. If anything, add a dab of silicone to just fill the hole or wrap electrical tape around it. If you are not getting spark, it is a bad ignighter like mine. Oil gets on them and ruins them.

I like it the only thing different I would do is pick up some 4 inch thick insulation from Lowe’s or Home Depot put that on the very top with a little bit of overhang and your top. Also, you could insulate the sides if you needed to or you felt you wanted to, other than that I think you have a really good solution for your heat problem. Thanks for sharing.

I found a go-around on E Bay as well. Search "Universal Security +2.0 / MyQ Interface Module-Chamberlain/Liftmaster/AsssureLink". This device is an inline module wired from your Harley Remote Receiver to the back of the Opener and fix the issue as well...for $56.65 plus shipping. I had no luck with the Harley dealership but found this option on a Harley forum. I believe it does the same thing as you did in the video, but not all of us have the skill set and knowledge to do what you did. This may work out for someone out there looking for a quick, but rather expensive, go around.
