Will it Run? Free generator from the side of the Road.

driving home what is it [Applause] and Chinese knockoff where's the pole in the truck it goes [Music] hey guys well I purposely have not looked at this any more than the couple seconds on the ground we put it in the truck so that we can check it out together and make a video so we're going to try to revive this thing if possible if not we're just getting some parts off of it and keep it for parts but I figured we'll turn the camera on well go for the journey of what it takes to go get it running I guess we can get rid of the free sign it's been in the rain been in the rain in the back of my truck unfortunately a little bit to see what we got hmm oh yeah good flashlight see ya it's tan instead of clear it supposed it looks like it has water sitting in the bottom of it I'm not positive of that that's a gas we already pulled it over we know it went chug chug generally yeah stuff like this gets thrown out for one or two things either stop making power and the engine ran or the engine failed to you the fuel sitting at pretty too long a period of time I'm hoping that it's gonna be the fuel issue not sure I see we're missing a nut on the top of the motor mount looks like it's flapping a little bit why don't we get the spark plug out of it they riveted the petcock together he can take apart anymore let's get the plug out of it and I'll give her a couple chugs over and see if we have spark gummy it looks decent you'd be a little on the rich side I don't know if that's showing up a little carpet let's throw that gas cap back in there just so that we're not trying to create spark with see [Music] you guys see today all right yeah all right plenty of spark let's go drip a little bit of fuel down in there and see if she'll fire and come back let's go give her a little bit of fuel this is premix in a bottle and every video everybody asked me from everybody it'll be a lot of writing but I get asked what is the bottle where you get it they're called zoom bottles they are oil bottles meant for like oil furnaces and all to oil the motors I think if you type in zoom bottle it'll come up on eBay and of course the oils run out and I just used it for gas I also have a couple more of them set up for gas for different weights of oil for different things that I'm putting together I'd give you the exact soffit but everything's wore off that bottle it's really hard so hopefully this will give us a [ __ ] on a fire and then die watch it just a rumor let's go giver [Applause] what are you now look like something in imagine that that's you're making that job easy now isn't it well that's gonna make for a short video isn't it we still going to go through it and clean the carbon hall but somebody actually just literally threw a generator away that was in functioning condition I don't know maybe they tried starting it we're gonna find out when we pull the float ball down it could have just fought them a little bit when I put that fuel in there I was able to start it makes power let's get set up we'll take the float Bowl down on the carb pop that air cleaner off and see what that looks like inside there the pet was open I turned it off so I should only run the fuel out yeah it's a nice color let's go and turn the fuel on let it flush through a little yeah that's good I need some cleaning all right it's go drop that bowl the rest of the way should set off blood drain out for a second so that that is but I think what happened I think the guest water has a tendency in you know just crap in general has a tendency to go to the lowest point in the lowest point is the flow Paul and what may have happened was the fuel that was in there that show you in a bowl in a second there's probably so bad it wasn't enough to go get it to light off hand cranking it but when I push people down the plughole it was enough to get it fired once it got fired it was able to suck up the crappy fuel and burn it I have seen that in the past before see some crap you know that it's good to see what prizes we get it looks like it was crappy and somebody cleaned it once before it was really rusty and somebody cleaned it up because you wouldn't have all that pitting in there yes exactly it's you could tell somebody took a scotch brite and rubbed on the sides of it to get it going gonna pop the air cleaner off and get a little bit better look at it I have a feeling we should pull that carpet soak it oh yeah and that's the gas that came out of it so again we and we sucked up some of the crap that you had already went up and through it with all the debris that dirt that's kind of settling out you get ready to do the ultrasonic theme and let it warm up and on the last video I built a sonic cleaner someone pointed out I didn't even see it the thermocouple although the thermocouple is coming undone on the base of that there yeah that could be an issue because Nicole Tim doesn't know how hot it is expand keep trying to make and another comment that was made on it was why I didn't replace the switch and the reason why I didn't want to replace the switch first of all I muted the machine second law it already failed and the new ones that you go and buy they don't have the switch if you look at it it's just like this they omitted to switch from it altogether so I have a feeling it's been a problem with a lot of them a couple of people even commented that they had the same issue so someone actually yeah when you guys actually mailed me a couple of switches but I'm not gonna put one in because it's pretty much the same thing it's already here and it's already gonna do the same thing all over again which was essentially the switch just failed so on the one on the video of the ultrasonic cleaner I just bypassed it and still has a few still has the plug and I plug the thing in when I want to go use it when I'm not using it I don't leave it in my garage plug in anyway that was before the switch issue and it's a 15 liter people are asking on that made by not yeah yeah it should be all your information Oh screw that back together fill it up and turn the heat on getting our cleaner out of the air see what that looks like [Music] both their interval up there but we're gonna have to get these four out to split the air cleaner housing it looks like first so that we can get to the other two as you could get away yeah give it full throttle on him that linkage pops straight out yeah carburetor see what it's definitely got some crap forming on it but he gave me a rant so you know it's not terrible definitely needs to clean you can see all the varnish we're starting to collect on stuff again and where the varnish collected all around the top or the bottom but yet let's go take it apart give it a bath let's get the float off of there first pins pushing right now get mean get out of it camera trying to get the emulsion to bail sometimes they do that want to go don't know if we're gonna get that all you out of there this is where the fuel gets sucked up by a vacuum as air as air is flowing through the carb it has a cull of injury basically it looks something like that inside the carb and that little hole that's in the bottom of it right where starts to expand so it creates a vacuum and then vacuum sucks the fuel up through that and then it mixes with the air that's coming through it and by you adjusting how much fuel comes to that center hole that center hole that center hole is how much where your air fuel mix is no they had Jets of course and then you change the size of that Jets in it and some have I mean yet adjustment with a nut is on the bottom of the bowl you could turn that in and out and then I'll just mean yet then there's an idle circuit does this have an idle circuit mix on it might be right there and it's plugged off so you can't play with it alright you can get that out of there this Eagle came off good someone was saying on the seals I said because if you hit him a brake cleaner or something they'll expand they'll grow I think what they said to try to make it go back I haven't tried it but I think it was throwing him in huh might be throwing him in hot water got a couple of guys comment on it make see all the tubes that it drops of fuel up through this one looks very clean a lot of times they'll be really gummed up what's over there we can do guys are watching on the Honda generator and they came from me yard sale I think for 20 bucks the I was talking about the what the jet was supposed to look like for the idle side of it this is what I was talking about and they had it plugged off Honda snowblower not Honda generator on the snowblower that's what I was like I was expecting to see again that has a a jet orcas in it too and I'm always kind of leery whether I should take things apart that I don't have gaskets for we're gonna soak this just like this and we'll put her in the soup it's still eaten up but do its thing you have the piece of fuel line over that fuel line run out of there yeah it's a nice thing did you well let that purge itself out and then we'll throw some cam tool in there just for longevity that it does not will put much in it but after we're done with it it hits it for six months without it hurting using this fuel that doesn't have any alcohol in well don't let that go do its thing take care of that missing nut on the motor mount I thought somebody was getting ready to take it apart take out of the cradle so I expected a much more having much more issues than what we did fortunate for the machine not so fortunate for grass as far as I can see what makes it tick and what we need to do to fix it what so it works sometimes on the ultrasonic cleaning guys are bringing up the temperature you know running I use the gunk parts clean carb cleaner cans come in a little basket thanks for doing carpet by themself and somebody with the flat point itself 1969 F I brought it up to about between 16 at 80 Celsius yeah you don't want that's the thing about heating something that's a flammable but essentially it's a I'm not bringing I'm much hotter than if the thing was left out of the Sun by accident one of the containers animal think they're gonna spontaneously explode but again if you using it just be mindful how hot you get in the material and you know not having playing to stuff around it and that looks pretty good look at this one you can kind of see where stuff's been splashing down on it and the label is kind of getting discolored and you see where you know I do know that on a bunch of these generators they had a recall for the gas gauge it's just little float in it a needle down below they had a recall on these because they were leaking around the seal and what they did was they gave you a block off lake that went over the top of it to replace what is there but it looks to me like somebody actually took a glue of some sort or some kind of epoxy epoxy that one in we're gonna leave it alone cuz you don't have either one to replace it with gas to drain up that tank looks really good just watching it a lot of big scam you have McLean all that crap out of there I think we'll just be able to change it fueling that one a little bit well dump a little bit of fuel in it shake it around and rinse it and purge that out too but looking good that seems like it's taking forever let's go see if we can get the sentiment ball off the pet let it run straight out of there you kind of crappy get two oh yeah it was all kinds of crap in there I'll show you in a minute for that you guys want to hold that for me I need something that run let's go see the prizes are in there oatmeal you see it's not all the way warm Duffy I got 55 Celsius it's like a hundred and thirty 130 degrees I think and still got 14 minutes on that I'm gonna see how we're looking [Applause] I'm gonna let them go for the remainder at that time at the gas drained out of it I just took a rag you rag clean Meg shut that down inside there and I was able to use my little Jaws retriever draw us here and I kind of just wobble it around all the way around the on the inside of the tank pulls it out and it was clean when it went in there but you can see I got a decent amount of crap out of some of the areas look a pretty decent inside I'm gonna go button that part of it up we should be good inside the tank now and yes I got that pine needle that was sitting on the bottom there so it took the pulp ball and hit it with the seam seeing blaster because it did not the chemicals they didn't clean out all the little pores then I blew up with that compressed air afterwards oh [ __ ] bag so it looks like it's really clean right now you come back with some brake clean and stuff will come out of the pores cookie put this thing back together this needle had a spring on it and then that was locked into the float first I've seen on one of these systems that they go well pieces back together this will run that right down the Jets clean double-check make sure that's sitting up out of the hole like it should is and go with punching and idle okay so I hear going across it and it's just a casting line that just pushes in and it's held down by the idol adjustment screw I'm gonna run that in yes till I see a couple of threads on this machine is you're really not coming to play because this machine is designed really never title it's gonna try another fixed rpm float it's dirty to me and write dirty hands getting it and where's the pin that holds it it's gonna blow through there this direction I'm gonna blow through there with the float hanging down make sure it's closed in this position and opening that closed open good let's go wipe that steel off real quick again I didn't explode I didn't clean this and explosive to anything because I just don't want to deform it we're gonna put that on I need the gasket and the nut for the bowl that he's a little cleaning under the wire wheel yeah we're gonna leave this one a little loose until it's in the air can I know what direction to rotate and then I clean the floor for the drain - and that one we could tighten up how is it looks dude I'm gonna throw that in to see him buster - we're gonna go clean that out that cleaned it a little too much see and blessed of a hole right through the bottom of it I don't have one so let's go see if we can fix try fixing it with solder and it's gonna be a big old pile of flux try coming back with some eat I'm gonna solder hopefully that'll puddle up in the middle [Applause] [Applause] nope heed the aluminum up and I killed it solder work I destroyed the bowl right here killed the threads because we've got to come up with something for that now huh so going back shopping in the inner horde it's like it feels like it's gonna have gas in it it does still have guessing that should be what we need let's go see what that one looks like if it's the same to you know which eye looks smaller ain't gonna work can we steal the whole thing nope totally different style you think we pulled it out of there to that look at the crud that's on there ya mean that well the one good thing is that tank will fit on there so it's a long way to fix the problem but it should fix the problem let's go to those tanks swapped across and purge the fuel out of this one too the old a lot of gas tanks off it should be easier to carve back together like that somebody's already had that apartment screwed it up let's fix that spring needs to go there yeah we're back on the center of it thanks better run the slug why are you already taking the plug clean the plug and tighten the plug and what do we get I think the frame of the air cleaner does the frame of the air clean we have to go on yeah I feel like I'm missing so yes are you missing something [Applause] show clover then the cover holds the choke lever on a little tab on it right there just kind of pushes down on there I didn't mess with the gaskets they did tear a little but I put them right back in their same spot so they shouldn't have an issue with them the guests on there yeah yes finally the hard part with those gas tanks you think once you just flip it over and dump it out where the gas lid is you fill is they have a a baffle up in there you can't get the gas out and you got about about an inch at the top you won't be able to get so I have to kind of come out through the pet and the bowl is off of that the little filament bowl is off of it one we're gonna be putting on there rotational deal their breather crankcase hey in with the well that's all too isn't it alright let's go bring out the bling huh hey nobody took off the little almost here that's like the best part now I know why nobody took it off all right let's fire up chokes on gas is on good ii to fill the flow pole turn it on shall we [Applause] [Applause] some yeah football didn't fill up I'm going to take and open the pet and shoot a little bit of air through it gingerly make sure there's nothing blocking that passage it's coming out of the pet but slow I was able to blow into the float ball meaning that the football never filled up a fuel you might have a little bit of debris that fellow seems a little restricted I've set it up on its side and take that pet out of there I should have done it when I have the tank off hmm yeah it is starving for fuel let's lean it back like that just and we'll get the pet out of it I thought I was okay you know judging by the flow that was coming out when I drained the gas out of it but apparently not I want to break anything I think that is in there pretty good I continue with the gas out of there I'm gonna blow some air through there clean that passage up possibly you might have a restriction maybe somewhere else not sure yet but I don't want to damage this after what we just went through have a nice day unscrews so you crap in there it's go get ourselves away a little poker that's in there well I'm gonna go shoot air through these guys now instead of the mouse you can back view it that way that's perfectly clear do that see that took care of oh yeah that'll work all right I don't think we can use that anymore though that's incorrect this is off and on there and somebody really wants to look it's got a sticker on the tank okay shall we [Applause] we ran better before we touched it [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] but I took it back apart I really didn't see anything I was wondering if I possibly didn't have the main jet screw down far enough I was plucking off the the uptake hole there but I I kind of doubt that I'm pretty sure I had that down again and go back and watch the video that may have been the case but I don't think so now blew it all out again took the Molson tube out I didn't see anything there what is choked this is choked at the front that has to face that way that one back out it definitely wasn't drawn the fuel up he had to choke the crap out of it they get to go and see any contaminants in the football Turnagain so I have the little piece of gasket yeah I think it fell off one thing I could think of is that it was drawing air through that tube and causing intake leak also got some material around here saying well that's more than enough but that poor is open to the outside let's go make ourselves a little bit of a patch right there we'll let that set up and we'll put it back on and try it might be it it's another thing to think of is that passes drops down looks it goes to here and down into the carb I'm not quite sure where it goes after that I don't know if it's going to tie in to this one if it ties into part of the main pickup and would that be an air leak that goes through there and draws instead of drawing fuel up it's it's having a leak going right to that hole and we're sucking here I'm just not sure and that's a guess at my part like for my aunt we're gonna call it might be point estimation we're gonna let that tack up a little bit then we'll put it back together won't give it a shot again let's go try it out again [Applause] we do it right because we do it twice how much you want a bit is that first time you all has been changed see what yet coming out of this thing yeah I would go with that until lovely shade agree alright so I got the oil change that's all set and I have my meter hooked up to it and we're gonna be measuring frequency Hertz we're gonna be looking for sixty Hertz and you kind of dial it in and the area to go dial that in adjust the governor all right all right there if we need it and on the floor easy I probably none at walk heat gun for the load so we're gonna go ahead and adjust it up another load gets it up and go fire it up I'm gonna let it warm up a little bit we'll see where the frequency lies and do a little bit of tweaking [Applause] damnit there's no power the palette switches off right now so I'll let that warm up a little on the low side [Applause] you know let that run for about five minutes [Applause] [Applause] yes so that was it I was just shut the breaker back off again and then he heard the RPMs come up and no load on it and then we shut it off I think we're pretty good I would say that is another survivor to come back into circulation good thing ahead the Horde take up the gas tank but even if we had to go order that little bowl for the pet or order a whole new pet it wouldn't been that bad probably even ten bucks I don't like to wait plus we'll put that old gas tank back in the circulation of the Horde and if we need one that's cleaning for a later setup they'll have one alright guys well I want to thank y'all for kind of like hanging out in a garage I just mean to have a little bit of fun turning some wrenches and we're gonna jump back to life got some cool stuff coming up pretty soon I lost one video unfortunately I had the finishing touches of the Honda TL trail bike all done and fortunately I lost that video but sometimes that's how it goes so just got to make some more right alright guys with that I thank you again for hanging out and garage me and do a little bit of wrenching so till the next time Oh
