Very clear, very easy-to-follow. Would the same procedure apply to my GP8000E?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

It should be close other then you may or may not have a fuel shut off solenoid on the carburetor on your model.

Great information, thank you very much. What did you use to lift generator??

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

I’m glad the video was helpful. I used my electric lift made for walk behind lawn machines. I work on lawn mowers, generators and tractors full time so I need to have a lift. I don’t like working on the ground when I work on many machines a year so a lift is a necessity. I’ve had it for many many years and it has been a back saver!!

Great video. Where can I find the video of cleaning the carburetor?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

I do not have one yet but if you take it apart and it smells like turpentine, just order and install a new one.

Great video! Thanks!! So I had rust/water in my tank due to a bad seal on top. (Bad fuel gauge) I’ve removed that original tank and Im working through the carb, new fuel lines, filter, etc to get it up and running. Do you know if there is there a way to fix/salvage that tank?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

If the tank can be flushed and you can get all rust flakes out then you can re-use it but if not then replacing is what we do at the shop. I cannot afford to have any rust come off of the tank and ruin a new or rebuilt carburetor. It can get a little pricey but a lessen learned that you will not let happen again. Thank you for the kind comment! Please give this video a thumbs up to help my channel. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for watching and I’m glad it was helpful.
