I have one of these in my garage. I used it to power my corded tools when I was a locksmith. I ran a key cutting machine at car boot sales or on site at a customers house. It also worked with my corded drills and on occasion an angle grinder… for £58 it was a great little generator but it has/had its limitations… I really need to get it fired up again it has dropped to the bottom of my ‘gizmo’ list but I have larger and better things to get me through the day.

A very cool little 2 stroke generator, nice work with the fuel shut off

[@robcole332]

Love the way you make things work. I live too far away from a parts store and no 2 stroke thing’s anywhere close.

[@themowerman]

Good video mate.. they are good for getting you out of a jam.. not expensive but do the job..

[@philliphall5198]

Great for work lights or camp lights Plus I like having a radio on during camping

[@DOCREAL1118]

Fixed 'er up. #MONEY

[@allenklaugh]

Nice save 😅 thank you for the video sir 👍😎🇺🇸

[@mikehrdlicka8635]

I bought one of those for $5 also needed fuel valve and carburetor cleaned. That grinder sounded like it hurt its feelings

[@philliphall5198]

I caught that but I was wondering why you didn’t remove and clean valve, there AllWAYS stopped up with junk 😊😂

[@mikejones5358]

It’s a copy of a Harbor Freight one I had

[@gregb671]

These were sold by Northern Tool.

[@philliphall5198]

Tommy I have a valve that will work I worked on a little bigger one years ago and had to buy 2 valves

[@robcole332]

I still can’t get use to a two stroke having a float style carb.

[@TheLawnFellas]

Excellent work Tom!! I am in the market for a generator but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for one. You have any recommendations? Battery or Gas.

[@TomDobyMowerRepair]

I got mine at Lowe's, Craftsman 3500 for about 500 bucks

[@TheLawnFellas]

@@TomDobyMowerRepair thanks Tom appreciate it. Definitely need one.

[@simonroman9126]

Question, can I used regular gas or mixed with oil? Please let me know, thank you

[@TomDobyMowerRepair]

if i remember right this was a 2 stroke which takes a mix fuel, think 40:1

[@simonroman9126]

@@TomDobyMowerRepair excellent thank you very much for the information. I appreciate it.

[@rodwilliams8932]

It was hunting badly?

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Usually when the choke is open it has that effect and also when it’s placed ‘under load’ with something near its limits.. There is a basic spring governor attached to the choke and if that’s not attached or is stretched can also have an effect like it’s hunting

[@steamboatwillie935]

90% chance when you don't know the brand. It probably was made in China land! ⛩⛩😆

[@philliphall5198]

Japan or twawan but can’t remember which 😊
