What was the cause of this? My friction disc slips to, but only when starting from cold

just put a brand new carb on my champion generator and it starts right up and just goes instantly full throttle

How To Fix Problem😢

Thank you for this video and the original video, I have a Champion Model 46595, and I was able to get mine up and running with the comments on the other video. It is pretty simple, and as everyone else said, count the turns and ensure you put that plastic needle in the same way. I marked mine with a marker to know where i had it. Google plastic idle needle jet and it'll come up.

This fix worked perfect for me!

brilliant!

Excellent idea

15 second ad for a 14 second video that tells me nothing.

Exactly what I'm dealing with right now.

Lol What is this junk ? I watched both videos and you gave NO information on how you fixed it !

I just bought one few days ago. Wondering if I can buy a conversion kit to one hand operation

I just bought this exact splitter (and the leg kit which seems decent). My first thought was some sort of one handed conversion and this set up is different than another electric splitter that I’d modified. Definitely ingenious and ultimately effective! Nicely done

Hey. I have an 1989 824 with a 8 Hp Techumse. I’ve had it a long time, and solved slot of issues along the way. I had an even older 724 with a 7 Hp Techumse that I gave to a friend after I fixed it up, which he’s still running. I’d start looking at a carb problem if it were me. Did you rebuild the carb yet? Some guys buy those Chinese eBay carbs and have good success. What’s the history of your machine? Did it just start stumbling like this? What have you tried? I shot a short video of my 824 throwing snow up at my cabin a couple of weeks ago. Here’s a link if your interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWHFpauigr16hdk

Man, that's one clean-looking 824.

Excellent

Just curious why you think people wanna see your generator running? See the fix would be kinda cool, since many people have the same issue - but a video of a generator just idling really isn't the least bit helpful (or interesting). Just sayin.

need to clean the slow jet, the one that is under the relenti screw

Well done. No, wait, better than well done. Nifty!

It's called the idle jet it's on all small engine carbs.

Nice work.

I have the same one that had the same problem I just change the oil and run premium fuel and stop doing that automatically. Those champions they love their premium fuel

What was the issue?

Simple and Effective. Perfection!

A new carb was $15 on Amazon. Sounds noisy and rattles like mine. I'm working on that...

Wondering how you get the wood block into the wheelbarrow.

at last, somebody sensible who actually turns the thing on so we can hear what it sounds like!

That's in nice shape !

That's an awesome setup !

Very ingenious !

looks like you are missing the throttle spring, its the very fine spring that goes over the throttle arm. that will cause that interruption and make the engine rev up and down like that among other things however thats the first thing i would have eliminated before going further.

I have the same problem - just changed the carb and it is still not running properly but this was due to my mistake (as it turns out with the 3 gaskets from the new carb I probably put one of them on wrong. I then did another recommendation with the original carb by putting a pin in the small hole in the plastic jet under the black plastic screw. Now the engine runs like it should. I need to tweak the adjustments to make sure its in the best running mode. As a side note the replacement carb I got from Ebay for $10 was not the exact replacement cause my model has some kind of wired auto-choke on top of the carb. That assembly can't be put on the replacement. It has a manual choke arm only.

My 4000w runs fine at low idle, but then when it has 1500w+, it surges and eventually shuts off. I changed the oil and put fresh gas in it and it's still doing it. Carb or ?

2\2018 I had the same issue, and this worked perfectly. Generator runs smooth now. just remember to count the number of turns when you back out the black plastic screw, 5 turns for mine Champion 3500. Gently pry up the black plastic jet. I used a strand of wire to fit in the jet! No need to remove carburetor. Even though I Stabilize My Gas And Run The Carb Dry, This Still Happens. Plus I Start It Regulaly.

Had the same problem,tried cleaning the carburettor etc but found it was the float pin not letting enough fuel in to the bowl,adjusted the pin by pulling the spring through the gap the float pin connects to curing the problem .

Thanks for the info. I took out the black plastic screw on the carburetor and then removed the black plastic plug it was indeed plugged. I used a guitar string (B) to push the debris through reinstalled and it purrs like a kitten.

As other stated. Gas line dirty. Old gas. Clean or replace carburetor. Drain gas tank.

Ok just fixed mine have the same issue it's the low idle jet look at the back of the carb there's a plastic idle screw take it out right below that there is a plastic plug use a pocket or a fine flathead screwdriver and carefully pry one side at a time take it out be carful it has an o ring at one end of it there is a micro hole jet that's pluged causing it not to get fuel at idle get a fine. Sewing needle and push it thru the hole and put it back together and then you have a new machine

The one i have has 6 hours used on it and has done that same idle since I purchased. I bought it used with 5 hours used on it. Champion Model 46555 Aug 2011. It will work and power items when needed. i.e. power went out and the truck was stuck in the garage. For the last 5 years I've only started it monthly and changes the gas just to keep it running when/if it's needed, but not for any work/load.

Did you ever find a fix, Mine is doing the same thing even after replacing the carburetor.Thanks

looking at the gas line, it looks like old gas. drain gas tank, and clean carburator.

My champion generator is doing this also. Have you found a solution?

Dems nice fish

nice
