About

I repair neglected power equipment. This channel was started because I found a lack of good content regarding portable generator repair and wanted to document some of the things I came across to help others dealing with similar issues. These videos are detailed and long, but would rather leave the details in to help those who are learning. Do what I do at your own risk. Generator voltages are lethal. Small engines can cause serious injury. Gasoline is explosive and moving parts can cause serious injury. Always use power equipment outside. This is not an instructional video but meant for entertainment. I am not a trained small engine professional or certified in generator repair. No information contained in this video shall create any expressed or implied warranty or guarantee of any particular result. Any injury, damage, or loss that may result is the sole responsibility of the user. If you want give back, use PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/jamescondonYT

Video Description

I found this Briggs and Stratton standby generator on Craigslist for only $150. The seller says he no longer needs it and it ran when last tested. It sounds too good to be true. Lets go through the machine and try it out. Generator Model: 040301A Engine Model: 319775-1116-E1 Circuit Breaker: 208789GS Engine Seal: 311551GS Oil Filter: 492932B A subscriber @jmtracmach is looking for detailed information on how to rewind his stator. That is something I have looked for many times and failed. Here is a link to a video he made about the problem he is trying to solve: https://youtu.be/wXduacLDGME?si=JMGUzfieGRR6iTDD. If you have detailed plans on rewinding a single phase or 3 phase generator complete with details on the DPE winding, auxiliary winding and wire gauge calculations needed based on voltage and amp output requirements etc, please send that information along. Many could benefit from it.

Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results. #BriggsAndStratton #GeneratorRepair #Generator #SmallEngineRepair #SmallEngine #DIY #Fixed #Troubleshooting #HowTo Alternator, Bad Circuit Breaker, Fixed, Generator Maintenance, Generator Not Working, Generator, Hertz, Home Generator, How To, How to Fix Generator, How-To, Load Test, Mouse House, Oil Filter, Oil change, Overload, Portable Generator Repair, Power Quality, Repair, Small Engine Repair, Small Engine, Standby Generator, THD, Troubleshooting, Wiring Diagram, Wiring
