My go to secret tool dealing with inter tubes is baby powder. It helps you to slip the tube into the tire much, much easier.

Bought a Sportsman 7000 propane NEW, Backfires and runs really bad, Called buffalo company, Guy said They all do that for a while, No help their, So I used my Smarts and Pulled the Spark plug, Guess What it was gaped at 45 thousand put a new plug set at 20 thou. Runs great.

1:23:01 I love that you take the time to dig into stuff and figure it out

They all run like that. It's a compromise between co and hc emissions. If you slightly open up the pilot jet it will run better and start without the choke when it's not cold outside.

I would rather watch your videos over any mystery program on TV. Ah-ha the dip stick killed the generator! Great detective work and you revived the victim to go back to work. Sure cleaned up nice as well.

The internal volume of the muffler is tuned to the size of the engine pulses, by folding each sound wave back on itself, so a smaller muffler would work better.

Will you people stop FACT CHECKING MR. JAMES, Just watch and enjoy. !

That torque wrench sounds like the pipe bomb from left 4 dead

LOOK AT THOSE OFFICE HANDS, DEFINITELY THE HANDS OF A TINKERER AND NOT A MECHANIC.

what year coleman is that one

Hey Clint, thanks for the opportunity to participate in the exciting contest, almost too good to be true, well then, regarding the Ryobi One plus line as featured on your vlog, I’m going for the 18 volt high performance hammer drill kit that can deliver 450 inch pounds of torque… Really? I guess so because you represent the truth and I’m confident that you promote integrity, and yet the kit retails for $149 Really? Thanks Santa Clint, been watching your channel for years We’ll be back to check on the status of this incredible contest

I've been in and out of the hospital lately I'm the one with the heart problems I'm trying to binge watch while I'm at home lol this is my favorite content on KZbin I love James stuff now I have seizures to worry about on top of my heart and in April or May will be the big surgery I'm just hoping to be home for Christmas I really need help for Christmas if you or anybody can help me in my family please let me know it doesn't matter how much it is anything will hope this may be my last Christmas I thought last year was going to be but I got a lot worse thank you so much and God bless you and everybody in a comment

Great video James. Given the internals of the governor are working correctly, I'd try drilling another hole closer in the governor arm to check if that makes any difference. Cheers, EJ

I really hope to hear back from you I'll probably be in and out of the hospital I just Hope that I'm not in the hospital for Christmas now I have seizures to worry about on top of my heart

Thank you

Good Job James.

In comparison to when you pulled the cam, you installed it aligned to the crank with the wring notch. When you pulled it apart it was aligned with the dot closer to the center of the cam gear, installation showed you aligned it with the dot further from the center (one tooth off)

Thank you

Hi James this is Sean The one with the heart problem I just got out of the hospital and I missed tons of videos while I was in there. This is my favorite channel in the world I'm just glad I'm out but I'm going to be right back in in April or May. But then I catch up while I'm home thank you so much I hope you get back to my email

I'm so happy to be back home watching my favorite channel I've been in the hospital for a while this is my favorite channel in the world thank you James

They make generators loud so you won't take them inside! Im 64 and the carbon monoxide warning stickers just dont work! ( I even plug in a fan for cooling and exhaust removal) If you own a house you must get one...or 2!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge . Watched one of your trouble shooting videos. My generator is now running and I didn't spend a dime. New subscriber.

id bet money your an engineer by trade

Why use the press to press in some bushes and that twisty thing for others?

27:35 And why not just move the spring one hole up?

plastic parts are destined to fail

To keep a machine looking good, spray or paint the under deck area with a rubberized undercoating product. Grass contains moisture and as it breaks down it turns acidic and the moisture starts to cause rust. With the thin steel in todays machines decks and the prices this is cheap insurance to keep from buying another in6-8 yrs.

I have a generac gp 6500 brushless with a avr, and I don't see a cap. on mine, and can' find a new cap, anywhere.

What size Ultrasonic Parts Cleaner Machine do you use

I gave one of those to my next door neighbor a few years ago that worked perfectly fine, thinking his old mower wasn't cutting it, so to speak, lol. Turns out he was just too lazy to mow his lawn. When he moved he didn't even take the mower with him, so I have it back now, lol.

16:24 so that’s where chocolate milk comes from💀💀

You have to be careful with those generators that eat oil up. They will run out on you and burn the motor up. Mine eat gasoline like crazy, always having to refill the damn thing. 😂

An alternative way to clean a tank in similar condition would be to dump carb cleaner in and slosh it around since all the crud is on the bottom. Just a thought.

Couple hints for you. starting a cold saw set your choke and throttle and then pull it slow a couple times to prime the fuel system. When adjusting carb screws start at 1 1/4 or what the manufacturer says if known then when running go clockwise till it goes slower then back it out till it hits its highest speed then go just a little more. A little on the rich side is better. Stanley's saw is on a fresh rebuild and will probably take a little while to break in. After a tank of gas has been run through it retune the carb. NOW stanley has his saw and one to loan out.

Great job.from which I learned a lot. Great that the dealer was so cooperative. I wonder why Governor wasn't made electronically. I've never seen that by the way

😉😉

Bro got so many parts he basically bought a entire new engine

Cool bike and beautiful neighborhood! Reminds me of suburban New York Hudson valley where I grew up :-)

Has there ever been a more cheaply made, nastier, more hideous product than the BS "engines". What rubbish. You also need to go to a competent optician, (maybe someone not American,) because the governor shaft wasn't moving for about 5 or more minutes of video time and you didn't see it! For a part that was the centre of attention at the time that is a worrying indication as to your vision. Also the finish you achieve when painting with spray cans would be far better if you followed the instructions written on most cans - a very light 'tac' coat before two or three more coats instead of trying to do the job with one coat, in doing so you also improve the longevity of the finish. To quieten the rattle, try pinching the flats on the square tube in a little to close the gap up, it is a pity you couldn't lubricate that sliding part, but it being the type of machine it is and the environment in which it operates, that would not be an option.

Thanks for the video. I have a Champion 5500W inverter and it was smoking. It had compression but I found oil in the spark plug and also the smell. Took the head out and the piston seems to have a lot of clearance, I can even see the gap of the 1st ring, its just too much. The piston is "rocking" and I can move it... I measured the cylinder diameter ~71.5mm. I think the piston is 68mm and should be 70mm, so I will get a 70mm kit on it and see how it goes. Oil level seemed fine. I can't understand why I still had compression, probably the same oil that entered the chamber was sealing it.

Good day sir. In around 25:30 min. of your video, you connected your yellow wire to the negative pole (or originally connected blue wire) then you connected your yellow wire to the positive pole of the battery. I ask if what i see is correct? Thanks in advance for your reply, Sir.

Its a lot louder there was never a doubt about it.

I recommend replacing the original carbatrator bolts with something like Allen head screws. That way one can more easily install & remove the next time.

Basic ELECTRONICS says that you can come up with a correct capacitance by paralleling capacitors that add up to the desired value. 20 + 5 = 25 MFD. Series connection of capacitors is a LOT more complicated to come up with a specific value.

the manual ones

Question ,,, How often do you calibrate your toque wrenches ??

my champion when its cold under 40 degrees it starts but the rpm is maxed like its going to blow up. above 40 it starts and runs fine. Any idea what that would be?

Makes me wonder James if maybe the spring is not the right part (very wrong tension, wrong thickness, wrong wire, etc.) and possibly belongs to a different model of champion Gen. Maybe it could be that the governor is mismatched (wrong part) to that engine. Both scenario's seem possible. Hopefully the Champion dealer might give us a clue, because it's not a feature but is an issue if (and only if) more of the same model have the same governor droop.

After getting the "push-nuts off, drill both ends, put on a washer & cotter pin. (Or click pin).

I have the same generator, it’s been a great machine, but man it’s loud.
