$25 Generator From Lowes - The Final Outcome 

Hey Jim, thank you for sharing this and helping us all be thankful for the loves in our lives. Peace

Hey Jim, my wife and I are going on 41 years married and I know the feeling because we live it every day. A day doesn't go by that I don't tell her how much I adore her. And she the same. At times it doesn't seem like there are many of us, but there is and you proved it. With our love and condolences, your friends, Robert and Debbie

Very well written Jim Frohn. You can feel the love these 2 people share. Matter of fact I've also got a wife similar to Jennie who throws in comments such as Jennie's. The more I think about this video I'd now consider repairing one of these if I could get one of these dud returns from HD or Lowes

Thank you for sharing. I am blessed to have my soul mate still in my life and although she is battling cancer we try to make the most of each and every day. Bless you.

😢

Yea..tooooo much labor even if skilled..

You can't put a value on the experience, the rush of succeeding on a project like that is priceless. Also nobody ever claimed hobbies were cost effective. My buddy spent $22k on a fishing boat and who knows how much on other gear, I just spend a few bucks at the supermarket and come home with fish.

Maybe if you make $200 or more an hour. If the time you spend working without pay is worth money, then any time you work you are "printing" money. Your bank account stays the same. I never liked the argument "time is money" because it's only true, in my eyes, if you can spend that same time working at getting paid in bank notes.

I was on the edge of my seat.

I agree

Me too

Loved it. They should start a reality show.

@@wela310 Crazy but true.

Indeed he did! ...and now I finally know where all the good women are... ...they're in the woods! LOL :-)

+ H Collins, Just out of curiosity, whats actually wrong with you? Is it a mental problem or are you just a foul mouthed jealous little troll? probably all the above. They clearly BOTH hit the jackpot, it's obvious above all else they are best friends, who could ask for more?

+H Collins, Truth hurt does it? you lose.

+Perplexia, Yup I looked before I replied he's got 1 follower who I'm suspecting is his mum, and thanks for your support, usually I'd not even bother with the likes of him just like I won't when he replies, but this couple are just awesome, few of us get what they have, ie your absolute best friends with your partner, love them of course, but best friends as well? that's a bonus :)

Nicky Winters True, not many people get to have what they have... they are very lucky!!!

Nick at Arcadia Bay Hehe.. "turning point"... I see what you did there.. hehe..

Nick at Arcadia Bay that wife is definitely a keeper. Three, & I've never had one that wud stick with me thru a project like that without encouraging to give up rather than encouraging me to stick with it

Hey isnt Arcadia bay from life is strange?

Labor = $3,600

gas cap $45....

Experience and fun = priceless (There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's Mastercard)

"You light up my life and so does (any energy company name)" You need to copyright that!

I've been known to spend $150 on parts to fix something I'd be lucky to sell for $50. It's all about the challenge and experience, and saving something useful from the landfill.

Joseph Jagatic ME too, I just HAD to see if it started! Lol

Me either lol

Me too! lol...

me too. lol. I could believe he did it. Great Job

I didn't either, but I do now.

never saw that coming :P

Could you please explain it to me? English isn't my first language...

in English "vice" has two meanings, one is to squeeze something to hold it in place, and also means bad habits. My reply was to him saying they help him cope, as to cope means to be able to deal with stress and such. It also is the name of a saw for cutting things.

As a pun, great! But Nex, you should inform the person new to the language that the two words are vise (clamping-holding tool) and vice (fun stuff we're not supposed to do.) Yup, English is tough.

XCOMBOY Often the price of extreme flexibility is an addition of complexity, but context is everything...just like "read" and "read" are each other's past and future tense (or present in the case of "reading" -- I am presently reading a book -- pronounced like "reeding") of one another. The future tense is pronounced just like "reed" (like the reed in a wind instrument -- I will read that book) and the past tense is pronounced "red" (like the color -- I read the book yesterday). A lot of English word play is built around quirks like these where either different words sound alike -- such as with "vise" and vice" -- or two identically spelled words have entirely different meanings.

Sam Schultz Yes quite a beautiful thing if you can find it

the minimum birth rate to maintain a culture are 2.1. These couple should be a good family example & make more offspring than the minimum requirement, right?

You forgot their boy.

+Dun Semarang Yes please! Our people are almost a minority in our own country :(

They should make a Lifetime movie about this. lol

and taco bell!

broken things??.......he should try taking on the USA next

on the edge of his guard rail.

Google User you mean a gemerator

I screamed YES! when it started.

Shantel the same happened to me

Yeah the same happened for me XD

Same. Somehow it pulled me in, even though it was randomly recommended. I kind of want to learn how to repair engines now. I’ve got an old power washer that my mother-in-law gave me a while back. It runs well but leaks gas. Was going to get rid of it because of the leak but maybe I should research how to fix it now? Main problem is that I don’t really need a power washer now, so I can’t justify spending time and money on it. But maybe I could learn a thing or two and sell it.

Shantel same here , I watched the first video when it was recommended and was actually waiting for this to be uploaded. I wanted to see the outcome so bad lol

The first part of this video is so funny. I love the fact that you draw us in by looking around up and down for the Screeching sound only to say that camera girl has quieted down. LoL I literally LoL

It meals my heart too.

Paul for mealsies

Beautifully done Sir!!! Now for the propane conversion😜....the saga continues🙀

I think he could do that... I just have this feeling he could do that! lol

You are right about that , the average person couldn't fix that , but my brother and this guy are the same and very talented. We have fixed many thing's where others couldn't figure it out. Good call grasshopper and I concur with you.

Think the same issue breaks on each machine. So if you extrapolate to most returned generators, you might have a restoration project business.

Blessings from fairies? Or the Dreadlord Cthulhu?

+Living In A Van I see me and the wife vicariously through them when we first met nearly 20 years ago. Now in our 50s we still have some laughs and a great friendship.

Ignacio Segarra Either Honda or Yamaha if you don't wanna worry about a timing belt.

Was not the manufacturers fault it broke. It was the previous owner who over filled it with oil.

Thomas Strickland Yamaha does build generators

Moes it's got a Yamaha label on it, but it ain't a Yamaha. Hell Hyundai makes them too. Just a sticker that changes the value is all.

Yamaha at least sells generators, they are good quality and have a good warranty and yes Honda inverter generators have a timing belt as the engine used is overhead cam, not overhead valve.

boomzx LOL I miss read your comment twice as, "I lived a whole year in my shed..." Was like WTF? before I finally read it right.

Nevir202 I live in a shed😢😢😢

Wolfman Jack So do I! been in here for over 20 years!

Find anything?

I didn't even know they did that. I am warming up the car.

I found Honda lawn mover for $40 had carburator gasket installed wrong way that's it

I had no idea Lowes sold broken stuff, I don't think there's one around here.

dads2006gt That goes for me to...God Bless the two of you & your little boy...He's got one pair of wonderful parents...

I second this. This project drew me to your channel, but your relationship is why I subscribed. You two are adorable. God bless your union!

I agree

dads2006gt Here'Here!

dads2006gt I could not have said it better myself! You two are funny together, and i really enjoyed this 3 parter and subscribed as well. It is refreshing to see people really enjoying life and love- rock on!! Thanks

That is an awesome comment!!!!! LOL :-) Good day to you!

We will fix engines on the beaches and on the landing grounds, we shall fix them in the fields and on the streets, we shall fix them on the hills, we will never surrender

MrcabooseVG LMFAO :-D

I made 2 kids on porch.

sevenhornets but do they work?

bahahahhaa! was looking for this comment, surprised he didn't finish the quote off by sayin "GETS THE PEOPLE GOINN"

lol i subbed after hearing that and check the comments lol

You should listen to charger by The Gorillaz. Just the beginning. Provocative

Reminds me of AvE

Movie quote from Blades of Glory. Come on people!

ChungshanStory NGK isJapanese made anyway lol. But they're great plugs.

ChungshanStory I try and stay away from anything genrac with a gas motor on it these days, I have 3 generators right now 1 is a Honda 2000eu and my other one is a White 22,500Watt and my big one is a custom built Cummins that makes 120,000 watts that is designed to run oil rigs

According to www.jhpiston.com/product/318.html (a BiG player in small engine piston) MZ80 piston = 1.5/1.5/2.5 rings

*later that night he cleaned a different filter*

Pen is broken Please use finger 😢😂😂😂😂

hahaha

And she doesn't even bat an eyelash!

for factory it is not a fix because it took 2x the work to fix it disassemble it and reassemble it which can build two new generator or more by assemble and assemble

For the lesson learned, is it more or less than taking the class in college; including travel? Every company that builds small products by hand should have a rebuild line in the same factory where they take everything apart, swap what's broken, put it back together, test, done. In the factory it should be a lot faster and cost less to whom it might cost to dispose of it if they pay for the factory rebuild instead.

AMEN! NEVER QUIT NEVERRRRRR.....JUST BELIEVE..............BE PATIENT AND THE VICTORY SHALL BE YOURS!!!

I have an 8' x 4' work bench and even with an area that size, I'm forever on my hands and knees picking up screws, washers etc. I would have no chance using a balcony railing as a work surface 😬

When he was waving his hand with the piston ring. I got nervous.

I was just waiting for the engine to fall off the railing................................but this guy still would have been able to fix it!

Absolutely it's all I could think of when he was working on the rail.

Jim Hyland - wondering if she has an emotionally available sister... 😁

Agreed.

Jim Hyland Original comment: I fucking love your wife! lol

She is adorable.

she is humorous..

... Agree 100% ... This is the perfect example of a happy couple ... You both compliment each other so well ...
