The “screen” you removed from the rear is called a spark arrestor and is there to keep possible exhaust sparks from escaping which could ignite a fuel source such as dry grass or anything else it comes in contact with. The key is to keep it clean, NOT remove it.
@R.N.GPerformance
@R.N.GPerformance 4 жыл бұрын
John Case yes i know. If I remember correctly I believe i made a disclaimer on removing it lol. But it is too restrictive and clogs up with carbon fast. No one wants to clean it every 10 hrs lol. Just be responsible and make sure its running in a good spot with out dry debris such as sticks leafs etc.

The screen is the spark arrestor not the silencer (disk thing made of crushed copper wire). If you're running your generator on the ground or anywhere sparks might be an issue (like the bed of a truck after you modified the egr so it now dumps raw fuel out of the bottom of the generator), you need to keep the spark arrestor screen, chuck the silencer. If you're running a genturi off of the exhaust, both items must go for max venturi affect. I highly recommend a venturi stack if anyone will be sleeping near the generator( like within 200 feet, even inside an rv).. The brand Genturi is kinda pricey but you can easily make one for less than $50.00. On mine, the exhaust temps enter the stack around 200-350 degrees, (depending on the load) and the exit temps are 70-80 degrees and carry all carbon monoxide up and out above your rv. There have been people killed from carbon monoxide poisonings while tent camping near a rv running a generator.

I've never heard of running a generator while driving. Why is the RV not running off of the truck/RV engine? All campers I have ever pulled ran fridge and charged battery from towing harness. When we moved up from popup to full camper, I made sure to confirm my truck could output enough amperage, especially when I upgraded to lithium.

No RV fridge runs off of your truck. They can run off of propane using the 12v power source. however that is illegal to have your propane turned on while traveling. That is why I use the generator.

That’s a vent similar to that found on a lot of chainsaws, basically from the 90’s. They usually dump into the air filter with a piece of stranded wire in the end of the hose. Stihl 029, Ms 290 & 291 utilize a similar vent circuit. My big pro saws have a vent that pushes into the gas tank.

Mine does the same thing RPM's start going up and down then it dies out. Is what happened was the son was putting fuel in it and knock the fill neck screen in to the tank. That screen also has the tank vent built in to it. So no vapors or outside air could leave or enter the tank it acted like a fuel shutoff, and would starve for fuel and die. Since I got the two tear warranty I'm just dealing with it and leaving the cap a little loose. I've got 500 hours on it so far. Done a total of 3 oil changes 1st at 8hrs with conventional oil, 2nd at 25hrs with conventional oil again, 3rd at 50hrs with Mobile1 full synthetic, and haven't changed the oil since.

What did we do in the old days before everyone worried about stuff like this? Its common sense. Never fuel a running engine. This engine has a huge huge muffler chances of any sparks finding their way out if the muffler is slim to NONE not to mention if your equipment isn’t running right it shouldn’t be being used. Common sense gos a long long way! You should not be using a generator unattended in any situation.

I took a chance and bought one on Craig's list with only 20 hours on it. Even though it had E10 stale gas, it started and ran on the rough side. Took it home and give it some TLC and 200 hours later, I ended up buying a second one from Harbor Freight when it was on special for paralleling it up for more capacity when needed. By no means it is a Honda EU3000, but it gets the job done with a few caveats. I'm not a fan of extended warranties since it is pretty much a pure profit margin for the insurance company. A good break-in marathon for the first 25 hours on a 1/3 load and hot oil changes at 8, 16, and 25 hours; pretty much it was rode hard and put away wet. If you have any issues, you'll know it before their 30 day exchange policy runs out. As for the running rich issue and clogged spark arrestor, I switched the default #76 carburetor main jet to a #72. I notice a lot less fouling of the spark plug and spark arrestor. Other mods, I did away with the electric start switch and made it my emergency engine kill switch since the fuel cut off switch allows the engine to run to burn out the gas in the carb in the "off" position.

@@R.N.GPerformance not disagreeing just saying you can't remove the spark arrestor (the screen) for forest camping, which is often boondocking camping away from people. Just felt people should know that. Also running super rich for 10 minutes can clog the screen, let alone an hour. Cheers!

Y would you vent ur overflow of gas into the bed of ur truck. That looks like a accident waiting to happen. Just my thought. Maybe find a vented gas cap. U might b on the right path just a different ending.

Venting the way i did is the exact same as a vented fuel cap. Not to mention the venting i did still utilizes the charcoal canister just like they intended. So the fumes are still filtered. With a vented cap moisture can get in the fuel and is Susceptible to rain. Plus my vent is right beside the carb vent that don’t run through a charcoal canister. So either way you go your still getting venting under the machine.

Some of the mods he did make it easier to use and make it perform better, but they're not in compliance with rules the engineers have to follow with regard to emissions and safety. The charcoal canister is there to trap fuel vapor so it doesn't vent directly to the atmosphere.

Well a few reasons. 1 that cost money and my channel is all about saving people money. 2 no engine should be set up this way. 3 if you out a jet in and get it running right in your garage then you go camping on a cooler day it may run too lean. You cant control the weather and thats going ti play a huge roll in how much the fuel vents its pressure out of the tank. This way you dont have to worry about it at all. And its still vented through the canister and then out so win win. Its done right. Its done for free. And you dont have to worry about it ever running too lean. Gas isnt going to drip anyways because its going through the canister. Also the carb is vented through the bottom you have more chance of fuel coming from that vent then you do my vent. And this machine has a huge muffler on it chances of a spark are slim to non. Plus you can make much better of a spark arrester if your that worried about it. Me on the other hand im not worried.

I did get the dual fuel carburetor kit. I think it was only thirty bucks. I just haven't had the time to commit to installing it start to finish. As far as the extended run external tank, it is quite pricey. I do like the "fuel pump" aspect of it as opposed to gravity feed. I've been hoping to find someone with a less expensive alternative.
