do you know if this fix will work for other Firmen models?

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

If the carb bowl is not lined up properly, this fix will work regardless of manufacturer. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@brianjessen547]

Is there a gasket sealer I can use for the bowl where it meets the body of the carb and at the bowl nut?

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

I would just order a new bowl gasket. They are only a few dollars. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

my firman 1200 leaks fuel too - but cant find anyone local who will work on it.

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

Small engine mechanics are a dying breed. Everything is going to throw away electric junk.

[@DylanChristian-u2e]

What if the gas is leaking from the air intake hose that comes from the engine into the air filter?

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

That hose is part of the PCV system. If fuel is coming out of that, I would check for a stuck needle valve that won't close or a float that is filled with fuel. You might also want to check your oil level and also see if it smells like fuel. Cheers

[@marklivingston1479]

My problem was the needle not seating properly.

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

That will do it also. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

my firman gen will not put out without flashing it have changed almost everything what am i missing

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

Have you tested your AVR? Voltage regulator. I would suggest looking up a guy on KZbin called James Condon. His channel is the best around for anything generator related. Cheers

@@brantsmallenginerepairs yes changed all of that . finally changed rotor

Thanks

If you own a gas generator you should have a extra carb and tools to quickly charge out carb

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

Good tip. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

Hey buddy I know this video is 9month old but I have a question if you wouldn't mind trying to answer for me?

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

Absolutely. Shoot.

[@wilky8392]

@@brantsmallenginerepairs cheers pal. I have a generator (different than the one in this video) but..... It has a leak on the carb, basically the fuel inlet pipe that the fuel line connects too is leaking, I can remove that pipe with my hand although I shouldn't be able too. It stays in position and doesn't fall off but it obviously isn't air tight hence why it's dripping fuel so my question is, do you know what I can use to seal it to stop the leaking? I know the easier option would be to buy a new carb but my generator works perfect and is a cheap one but it serves the purpose I need. It seems pointless buying a new carb if I can fix this one and if I did buy a carb then it wouldn't be as cheap as it were. I bought it for £30 off boot sale, it didn't work but I've managed to get it up and running and the only thing wrong is the leaking carb, I'd rather fix than buy new wherever possible if I can. Sorry for the long reply but I really hope you understand and I really appreciate you taking the time to message me

[@wilky8392]

@@brantsmallenginerepairs its the pipe that is shown in your video thumbnail with the red arrow pointing at it

[@brantsmallenginerepairs]

You will have to get an epoxy that is fuel resistant. Something like this. www.amazon.ca/Weld-8272-MarineWeld-Marine-Epoxy/dp/B000KKPFFA/ref=asc_df_B000KKPFFA/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292950034231&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9848166121512417944&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001042&hvtargid=pla-422572943945&psc=1 If you do this, put a thin layer and don't just gob it on there. I have never tried this and don't know if it will work. You could probably get a cheap replacement carby for not much more. Good luck and let me know how you make out.
