[@rodnewcomb]

Followed your instructions, and my little Tailgater has life again! Thank you!

[@abundantYOUniverse]

This was the first video that came up when I typed in harbor freight tailgator carb, and you literally saved my life. Hurricane Ian devastated us here, and its been four days without power. Got 15 gallons of gas and the carb was clogged. Your video made all the difference man! Thank you

[@smallengineguys]

glad i could help keep that beer fridge cold

[@abundantYOUniverse]

@@smallengineguys No I have a breathing machine that helps me breathe, it was getting bad after no treatments for four days. Wasn't kidding about saving my life! I owe you a beer or two! Thanks

[@yellowdog762jb]

Thanks for the vid and the links! I tried cleaning my carb but no luck. I followed your link and the new carb is about $12! I also bought the ignition coil and plug, plus a spark plug for less than $20 w tax, delivered in one day!

[@AJ-ds9xq]

Thank YOU!! I thought my generator would never work again after 4 years sitting in the shed, followed exactly what you did, started working again! Thank you!

[@smallengineguys]

Great job!

[@stuartsykes944]

Glad it helped!

There is going to be a new hole drilled when I do mine.lol

[@smallengineguys]

be careful not to drill anything important lol

I’m having a problem with the pull string recoiling back in very hard and making it very difficult to start. Hurts my hand even. Do you have any idea why? Someone told me the valve isn’t opening. Not sure where.

[@smallengineguys]

these are 2 stroke no valves. probably to much fuel in the cylinder. carburetor probably needs cleaning then pull spark plug and dry cylinder by blowing air in it or pulling over many times. you may be able to dry plug with carb cleaner or you may need new plug. you are mixing oil in gas right?

[@adonakis]

@@smallengineguys yes. I am. Problem started when I added a pre mix fuel for the first time. When you pull cord, it pulls back in really hard and hurts. Ha. Won’t engage.

[@smallengineguys]

could be bad timing from the get go. return and get new one

[@adonakis]

@@smallengineguys someone else told me the same. Interesting. Thanks for replying. Very informative stuff.

[@HoliTalksAboutStuff]

Hi, so i have the tailgator version of this generator, i tested the leads coming from the capacitor and i'm only getting 0.11 to 0.20 ac volts, and i have resistance from the 110 lead. so.. everything beyond that is checking out.. i took the rotor out and checked everything over.. it had a couple nicks in it but all in all it looked really good. i put it back together and still the same issue. i replaced the cap and nothing there aswell. Any ideas?

[@smallengineguys]

god not in this one no. sometimes these chinese generators have a capacitor in the electrical box that holds the outlets. best i can do ya for this is to cheap for me to do any major try on

[@HoliTalksAboutStuff]

@@smallengineguys alright man, I appreciate it anyway.

[@roscored1000]

thanks for the info is there any need to have the air screw x amount of turns to make it run right? Or is it just a case of pull it apart and clean it and put it back together, I got one of these from a sidewalk neighbour and it runs but dies on load so the fuel needs replacing and will pull apart and clean the carb thanks again

[@smallengineguys]

no just pull apart and clean. sounds lean.

[@roscored1000]

@@smallengineguys thanks it seems like a good little machine though

[@smallengineguys]

@@roscored1000 itll keep the beer fridge cold

[@roscored1000]

@@smallengineguys gave the carbie a quick clean and now it runs better and will take a load so on the right track, now for some cleaner fuel, yes i know i should have started there but containers are an issue in my house.

[@roscored1000]

any idea which is the standard plug for it.thanks

[@BossPrepping]

If you dont get the float set right and the bowl on right it will leak from now on learn from experience lol

[@smallengineguys]

YEP. IF IT WASNT FOR THE HARD WAY ID NEVER LEARN ANYTHING.

[@chrishartley9688]

Never put main jet back in on video.

[@smallengineguys]

yeah had to put it in though or it wouldn't run. good eye though

[@RVingwithG]

SO IN SHORT... CLEAN IT OUT?! ! !

[@smallengineguys]

sure but if youve never done this a step by step helps

[@markcampebll5606]

Up grade to a new carb

[@smallengineguys]

why. these generators are only 120 bucks why spend any money on them if you don't have to.

[@markcampebll5606]

I just up graded my tailgaters with a better carb from Amazon for 14 dollars and it runs perfect runs very consistent also up graded spark plug

[@smallengineguys]

that isnt an upgrade its just a replacement carb. same same
