New Storm Responder Generator Stopped Making Power

Found this generator on Facebook Marketplace. It was advertised as a brand new generator with zero hours hours on the engine. According to the seller "The engine runs but the generator does not produce any power". It looks to be in great condition. How bad can it be? Lets find out what's wrong and hopefully fix it.

[@ericvaughn1126]

I wasn't worried about your ability to literally "repower" this one, Jim. I was expecting spare parts, but reasonably priced new ones are even better. Might have liked to see you load it close to 6500 just to see if that new power head would put it out. Top quality as always and keep em coming!

Hey James! I recently discovered your channel and you have got to be the best teacher of any small engine channel I watch. Keep the awesome videos coming!

[@frankbeale5921]

I had exactly the same scenario purchasing a Predator 8750 that was only a year old, but I got lucky! Seller wanted 200, offered 100 and he took it. It was a quality control issue as well where the brushes were not aligned with the slip rings. I placed a small washer between the brushes and where they seat against the frame and that brought them back into perfect alignment. That was 4 years ago and it has been flawless ever since! I really appreciate your channel, I have learned a lot! Thank you!!

[@Fekillix]

Really should be more than 1 year factory warranty on things like that.

[@frosthoe]

This is why I built my own power generator. I bought a 6.5Hp Briggs engine, 2 - 100 amp 12v one wire alternators, 2- 100AH 12V deep cycle batteries and boxes, and a 2000watt Pure sine inverter. Mounted all on to a movers dolly, with breakers, fuse and disconnects.... $650 total. Later If needed, every single piece is replaceable locally today. I just wanted a "semi" movable, clean and dependable alternate power system. And I really couldn't afford one any other way...This turned out far better then i expected...

[@keikoyoshioka3872]

We have used the kzbin.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

It's a loud generator but seems to be pretty reliable, it starts right up...I keep it clean and maintained.

[@jonminer9891]

Hi, James. I had my doubts when you said you gave the seller a running generator and some cash. Your knowledge and experience did the job though. One good factor is, it looks great. I am sure you will not lose money on the deal. Somebody will have a generator that should keep on working for years. Anyway, thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!

[@TopCat2021]

Great job on the project, when the video started I was wondering why it wasn't warrantied then later on in the video when you said that someone had been in the unit before I started wondering if it was a case of merchant refunding the money for the unit (or replacing the unit) and left it up to customer disposal of the old unit (Amazon does this sometimes) and the owner was trying to make an extra buck off the bad unit. Keep up the great work.

[@JasonW.]

I've had two humidifiers go bad under warranty and the manufacturer had me take a pic after I clipped the power cord end off and then I had to dispose of unit. I imagine same issue with a generator or any other heavy object with "hazardous" materials

Nicely done. Also glad to see Briggs finally put a low oil shutoff on those things. Maybe in 20 years we don’t see quite so many blown up engines. Also, whoever picked red for the neutral leg should be… I don’t know. Electrocuted? When it was being shut down each time, it sounded like something might have been rubbing. Kind of a buzzing like the rotor is touching a wire.

[@Bassguitarist1985]

Awesome job James! Good restraint not buying this generator at the original sell point. 20hrs is nothing, and thats a great deal on a Ryobi power head, it looks better built with resin and the string ties. Double check the brush head alignment to make sure the brush heads are directly over the slip rings. With a non OEM part number if one of the brush heads is ever so slightly off the slip ring it could cause issues later. Other than that amazing job restoring this machine back to working order!

[@sebastiannielsen]

Note however he used the brush that shipped with the rotor, so technically he used "OEM parts". (Ergo, the brush that was right for that stator and rotor). So no alignment should be neccessary. Note however that the incompatible parts here is the AVR, which was "stolen" from the broken power head, and the motor whose governor isn't compatible with this power head. Thats why the AVR had to be adjusted so it fits in-between the motor and power head. Basically, motor RPM directly affects line frequency, so first you adjust the motor RPM until line fequency is good. BUT motor RPM will also affect voltage, and different power heads produces different "base voltages" to so say, why the AVR had to be adjusted to be compatible with the "new" power head that isn't for that motor. Basically, everything except the motor, the AVR, the panel, frame, and fuel tank, was replaced. The rotor, stator, brushes, and terminal block was replaced.

[@worthcounty4317]

@@sebastiannielsen The misalignment in the brushes would come from the end frame (original equipment) and the rotor (non oem). Adjusting the AVR is required due to a different size power head. The speed of the engine only affects the cycles (hz) in this setup. In a brushless then it's another story.

[@Bassguitarist1985]

@@worthcounty4317 exactly! Many times it's not just the end bell frame that can cause misalignment it can also be affected by poor manufacturing quality where the slippering assembly is pressed too far inward or not pressed far enough causing an alignment issue. James ran into this I believe earlier this year on another generator. Either way James is a smart guy he will definitely check on these things and may not show it on camera because it is difficult to film every little detail. Cheers!

[@slypig24]

James, have you ever thought about a screw in adaptor to end of rotor, that you can attach a Plumbers Hand Operated Test Pump, to build up more pressure to release taper? Just a thought. Could someone near him make a 12mm x 1.75 pitch to NPT adaptor. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@brianhind6149]

James: I am impressed by the fact that you show your viewers that anyone dealing with things can get stung if they don't makes tests on the unit, which may not be possible for one or more reasons.

I am laughing James, not at you , but at the terms. Many mechanics that have sites on here do the same thing. They are brilliant mechanics & are doubtless using terms they learned at school.

Ordered it and should be arriving here in Moore County, NC on Dec 8, 2022. Wish I would have known. But in seems most is coming from China. Sad..

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

Run it, run it well and long.. change the intial oil after 30 minutes, the replacement oil after 1 hour, and the re-replacement oil at 2 hours..... This means you have got rid of all the sharp OEM machining edges...and drained that trash out..... Then go to the manufacturer recommended intervals.....

Also check yours for the zip tie. I do not think they forgot. I worked on another recently and there was no zip tie on that one either holding the AVR wires out of harms way.

[@davidplaster4576]

Awesome job James!! You know, the lying "has no hours" is exactly why I am sceptical about buying things that don't run or work, and why I don't give people their asking price. It's my money that is buying it, and my time and money to invest into making it work. Instead of stating no hours, just be truthful as much as you can about what happened. Like "it was running, then it made some noises, and then it quit making power". Simple, eliminates the "Yeah Right!!" feeling, and depending on the condition I might give you your asking price.

Hi James, there is one of these for sale cheap today on a local website here in Canberra, Australia and guess what……it’s only got 7 hours on it and it stopped.

[@browsedeweb8834]

Another great video! I watch every Thursday and have learned so much from you! One thing I will never quite understand is how these old school non-inverter generators still command so much money (new or used). Adjusting engine speed and AVRs to try to get the expected output while powering your stuff with a less than perfect sine wave doesn't strike me as the best approach to providing backup power in today's world. Inverter generators are the best solution IMO. They are typically quieter, more efficient and provide a much more stable/clean output waveform and really aren't much more expensive these days depending on the brand. I have the Honda EU7000is converted for tri-fuel and wouldn't consider any other model, despite the high price. I look at it as insurance. Hope to see you working on more inverter generators in the future.

[@jcondon1]

I own an EU6500 and completely agree. An inverter is the way to go.

[@habana7638]

I looked into it a few times. The base cost starts at about $900. Not worth it when you can buy a new Ryobi one for a fraction of the price.

[@TRBORADIO]

I'm thinking that all the windings are made with ECCA wire (Enameled Copper Clad Aluminum Wire) If is an ECCA wire you can't scratch it to remove the isolation. If you do that you will remove the copper layer too. I never use this particular wire, but maybe you can test with a piece of wire form other device. Try to remove the isolation varnish with a lighter and only then try to solder. Use a solder iron that you can control the temperature. If the solder tip goes black quickly it means that is too hot and it will burns the tin. Using a diode in serial at the solder iron mains AC will do this trick. You can try to removing all layers and leave only the aluminum. Try crimping it with other piece of copper wire using the crimp part of a terminal to crimp both wires. You can see this joint types in an iron or in any heater element. Nice Channel! Best Regards

Thanks alot for this video James Condom, you really did a great job here and I've learnt enough watching your video for the very first time. Someone like me who is an apprentice can easily grab quick knowledge & skills from you Can you please mention the tools you used for this video esp that portable screw machine you are using I really love to get one like that.... I'm looking forward to hear from you Thanks!

body shops use a slide-hammer puller to pull out dents in sheet metal;it has a screw that screws into a hole drilled in the metal,then the sliding weight banging against the end-stop pulls out the dent; I wonder if one could be modified with a bolt instead of the screw and used to pull off your stators? it would give a linear,on-axis pull on the stator,no hammering on the stator. it appears you do this often enough it might be worth the cost of the tool.

Is there a reason you do not adjust the AVR while running?

Something called high voltage?
