@makingmoneywithmar: Need some help on this old school Yamaha generator. Any help would be appreciated. I don’t think it’s carb related? I really want to bring this thing back to life and start generating more than just nostalgia. #generator #willitrun #smallenginefix #smallengine #mechanic

Ben’s Small Engine Repair :

Can’t just put any bolt on the bowl. It’s most likely blocking your fuel into the jet.

Chris Caines :

Could be the oil level senior. Every Yamaha generator I’ve owned has been picky with oil if they go down on oil even a little they will run bad or not start at all

￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ￴ ⃟ :

Could be going into limp mode/blown fuse or overloading

Buddy Williams :

I have a Honda camp quiet generator that did the same thing, would start and then shut off immediately, come to find out dirt dobbers had clogged my exhaust, cleared it out, runs like a top.

Madrid5 :

I watch your videos all the time. You’re the reason I started reselling and doing projects like this. Awesome videos!!!

nick :

me to lol

QUESTION EVERYTHING :

KJ Higgi. :

your bolt holding on the carb sump should be a banjo type bolt. you can bypass this by drilling a tiny hole below the emulsion tube and above where the bolt threads in to. its letting a little fuel seep in and then when you pull it to start its just burning the little bit and starving itself

woody :

Spark, fuel, air

Mr Marius! :

Have the same

Los Sellos de Jama-Coaque :

The problem seems to be the generator is not generating.

Will.Bro02 :

I know what’s wrong with. It ain’t got no gas in it.

danny harty 240v :

that's old generator and probably one of the worst ever made believe me I had one 30 years ago

Anthony Dotson :

I worked for Tecumseh 10 yrs

AOV Trader :

You have a jet that’s clogged

Rene Alex :

I got one of those. it was in storage for 15 years and it runs like new.

Ben Hartman :

oil pressure sensor?

John Tapley330 :

needs a key

Dave :

fuel line clogged

mari75 :

oil pressure sensor

gregfairchild96 :

Some bowl bolts have a hole in them that lets the gas through some carburetors do not work that way, so that one may not work for you

mikeporemba786 :

Check that bolt on the bottom of the bowl. I believe it’s supposed to have 2 holes that feed fuel to the main jet. The one you have doesn’t.

rexclayton8 :

Check the fuel hoses and blow them out. A lot of blockages cause a lack of fuel. Put on a filter for the future. Be sure to use gas that has no ethanol. Change the oil. It matters. The jets could still be clogged.

andrezlopez3 :

The oil wire need to be plug in

roc the tool guy :

check the float jet where the fuel comes in
