You just saved my night, and probably month, as I am living off grid in no where Hawaii and when my string broke I literally cried. You got me up and running in a few hours!!! Thank you thank you, you wonderful man!!! (This fix works exactly the same on a Wen 56200i by the way).

[@THand141Homestead]

I am so glad to be of help! Thank you for letting me know as it made my day! Life Off-Grid is the best of both worlds!!

This should prove to be a useful and helpful video with a view count that grows year after year. Instructional videos are still a huge hit on KZbin. Might want to add more keywords to your description though ;p

[@THand141Homestead]

I hope so! I'll see about adding to the description. Thanks!

I have a question about this generator predator 2000 watt. Mine I took in to have it looked at and they said it has to do with the side of generator?? He couldn't give me any more information just referred me to someone else but can't look at it until September. I know this is a far reach without looking at it. Do you have any idea what it might be. when turned on the red overload button comes on with no load on it and makes a awful noise running?

[@THand141Homestead]

Sorry you are having trouble. I have no Idea. If the overload light is coming on with no load, and it is making a horrible noise that would sound to me like a generator/inverter problem. Sorry I couldn't help more. I assume it is out of warranty. Let me know how you make out. wish I could be more helpful.

[@darmatm9416]

@@THand141Homestead i appreciate that. do you know how I can test the inverter?

[@THand141Homestead]

@@darmatm9416 no, that would be a higher level of maintenance knowledge than I have.

It just wouldn't be a T- Hand video with out Blood.

I know Right? LOL

[@littlehomesteadbythebeach]

I couldn't have said it better

[@PatrickCoste]

Hahaha yes be safe t-hand aka bloddyhands

[@robot8371]

Of course my job didnt come out like the videos on KZbin. The 3 bolt on the pull cord are just turning and not backing out. I now need to take apart the whole thing😢

[@THand141Homestead]

Sorry to hear that. It can be tough to get the dogs in sometimes. Good luck!

[@wetpresidents]

Robot, mine are doing the same thing. Bolts won’t back out. How did u fix?

[@RemsFamily]

So that's how you hurt yourself 😂😂

[@THand141Homestead]

Just one way of many! LOL

[@bobg69]

So who else is having a issue with 2 of the 3 recoil bolts not backing out like the should. First time mine ever needing to replace the rope due it breaking in a emergency usage situation. If these 2 bolts don't come out there's no possible way to fix it and all I have is a paperweight.

[@THand141Homestead]

Did you get them out eventually? I never had a problem with mine other than it took forever because of the tight space.

[@bobg69]

@@THand141Homestead I gave up for the time being. A friend is loaning me his little White Westinghouse generator for the vendor show we need it for from May 31st - June 2nd. I put everything back together for the time being and when I get back I will have the time to disassemble and get it going again before going on and disperse camping. Gotta have it to run the Mrs. Cpap machine.

[@wetpresidents]

@@bobg69 all three of my bolts are not backing out. Did u ever find a resolve?

[@bobg69]

@@wetpresidents I ended up having to remove all the bolts that hold the entire cover off. Found out the 3 metal threaded sleeves broke loose from the plastic housing. It was a pain to get the entire cover off and rewind the spring/rope. I bet yours did the same as mine did. Having smaller hands or skinnier fingers helps out but hopefully the arthritis doesn't need to interfere like mine always does. So just try to tighten/snug the 3 bolts backup on the recoil. I believe there's 4 bolts and a couple nuts to remove the entire cover. Very tight for space. Just have patients. I di get i all figured out/ put back together and it was running better after I removed thw Emerald Ash boarer from a vent hose.Those are an evasive speacies here in Michigan.
