This Generac 4000XL was left by the prior owners at a property purchased by a subscriber. It had bad fuel in the tank and in non-running condition. He cleaned out the tank and installed a new carburetor and got it up and running. Fast forward to the next outage and he connected it to his house and found his HVAC system was not happy about the power it was receiving from the generator. He tested the output and found the voltage was too high. Lets see what went wrong with the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) and fix it.

We have used the ru-vid.comUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

@8180634 Год назад

I've got the same exact generator, it ran our house about a week at a time after several hurricanes, probably a few hundred hours on it now. I used the 220 output to run both legs in the house, it had no problem running a couple of refrigerators, a couple of small (~5k BTU) window A/C units, inside and outside lights and electronics (TV's, computers, security cameras). It was surprisingly efficient on gas and has been reliable. You can tell the power isn't perfect because florescent lights will flicker when it's got some load, but otherwise no problems. We were one of the few houses with power so there was usually a morning line for coffee. ;)

Thanks for your comment. It is good to know this generator is still working good for you after all these years. I have the same model and bought if for Y2K over 2 decades ago. I have used it only a day at a time, at most, on a handful of occasions since then. The other day, I was going to get a replacement generator because I saw such a low output voltage when applying a relatively large load. Fortunately, I came across JamesC's video today ( I have seen other videos of his before) and followed his steps to tune up my machine. Turns out, I forgot about the ability to modify the output voltage via the potentiometer in the control box. BTW, thanks to everyone for their comments ! ! !

I really agree with this comment as Jame's videos would be the answer to fixing your own genset, probably wouldn't matter the size of the genset. Don't usually see him work on say nat gas units of say 20kw or higher which would suck the gas if that was the fuel. Small engine mechanic does the heavier units in fact he has a 400kw unit you would use for a small town if say it's wind gen went down or small hydro. Don't want to run it more than a week or the small town will run out of money.

Hey, Jim…good find on the Molex connector, especially when there was no physical evidence that was obvious until you pulled the pins. However, your testing skills led you to the logical conclusion. Well done. As far as the OEM carb leaking, that’s a head-scratcher. Before you rebuild it, I hope you do a dye test to identify the source of the leak, as the rebuild kit won’t be a guarantee that it will solve that problem.

@ohioplayer-bl9em Год назад

I learned to wrench on a moped. Till this day I find small engine/carb repair much more difficult then actual automotive engines. The engines are so small that if anything is off just slightly they wont even start. spark, fuel, compression? most car engines will start and run enough to help figure out whats up. You can have spark, fuel, and compression on a small engine and crank it all day without a single put put puttt. It definitely is an art for small engine repair.

@kdodson3585 Год назад

Great video as usual. Based on watching many of your videos I have refurbished a free Yamaha ef2000is and it is running well. Needed carb cleaning, new foot, missing a few screws, and the fuel shutoff broke. I added an extended run option using a marine tank and pulse fuel pump. I ran it under 1500 watt load for an hour. No hiccups. I would not have known where to start without you videos. You do great work explaining. One thing I would mention after wiring a boat is try the marine crimp connectors. They have a glue heat shrink which makes the connector watertight. No corrosion after 10 years in a salt water environment.

@eddiel.7770 Год назад

Just got a 4000XLE from my neighbor for free. It looks like it was sitting for a long time and so far it needs a new carb, air filter, oil pressure switch, oil filter and new tires. I pulled the carb and squirted a little gas in the manifold while cranking the engine and it fire right up for about two seconds. Plugged a shop light into the generator and fired it up a second time and to my surprise the light came on. Just finished ordering most of the parts off Amazon and used a set of tires with rims from Harbor Freight which are a nice fit. So far I'm into the job for about fifty dollars which includes a can of rattle can red paint. Instead of dealing with the stock battery I wired up two big alligator clamps on the battery leads so I can jump off a car battery. Thanks for the video on adjusting the voltage. Here's an update, after installing all the parts it started right up and runs. The little spring on the governor rod was rusted and broke so the idle was all over the place, got one on order. Need to trouble shoot the low oil warning light circuit, the light doesn't go off. Think there is a problem in the control board oil light circuit or wiring harness.

@budthomason8890 Год назад

James-- If you don't want the drill bit to suck it's way through a hole you are drilling . Put a piece of hose between the chuck and the end of your bit. Leave just enough of the bit sticking out at the end of the bit to make your hole. I found it also helps to keep the bit cooler.

Generac service manual actually calls for 38 - 40Hz auto idle speed. Setting procedure according to the manual, idle stop screw on carburetor needs to be backed out enough so idle speed is only affected by solenoid, then adjust solenoid to idle at 25 - 35 Hz, then adjust idle stop screw on carburetor to run at 38 - 40Hz.

@davidduma7615 Год назад

Glad you were able to restore this... seems like a sophisticated machine. I wish i had known about low oil shutoff and idle down features before i bought my storm generator. That clouded plastic window over the fuel gauge can be cut away. I used a "watch glass" and silicone gasket to make a new cover.... but grind a little notch so the tank can breathe. (The plastic window has a tiny pinhole).

@4sl648 Год назад

Great education! Thanks. I have worked on medical electronics since the early 1980s when everything was analog discrete circuits. There were a lot of little potentiometers to adjust. I still have a little plastic screwdriver which is like a black plastic straw with a flat screwdriver tip recessed in each end. It keeps from slipping off the screw and shorting circuits and doesnt conduct electricity back to the user. Given the unfused AC voltages accessible, one of those would be a good idea for anybody making hot adjustments.

Hi James. Just got done watching and enjoying this latest video. Great job of diagnosing and repair. I'm retired and have been enjoying many of your previous videos and just realized that I wasn't subscribed, so I took care of that. My fiancee has a Chicago Electric 7000 watt gen. from HF. I did an oil change, filled it up with exactly the amount of oil the manuel said. Started it, it ran about 4 minutes and shut off. Unplugged the module, it ran fine. Changed the module, 4 minutes and it stopped again. Just for piece of mind I topped the oil off till it was full to the top and it run fine. Hard to believe a couple ounces of oil made the difference. At least I know the low oil sensor works! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Take care & God bless.

Hi, I recently subscribed. Thank you for the info. Recently I was gifted two non functional generators. Having a terrible left leg I decided I cannot work on them on the floor. I cannot afford a fancy lift, so after some pondering I came up with a simple cheap way to get them off the floor to make it easier to work on. I fastened some plywood on a drum cradle. I stood the generator on end and strapped it to the cradle. Viola, single handedly, even with the bum leg I got the generator to a working height. I hope this helps! Happy New Year! 123123

I love that you consider and execute (when it makes sense) component-level repairs instead of buying whole boards or considering the generator not worth repair. This is what we need to see more of, tonconbatg the wastefulness of the usual consumer mindsets. Almost everything can be repaired, and for hobbyists the time generally should not be weighed as an expense. Things that are broken should be given to people who want to fix them or learn (not thrown in the landfill)!

@spudman9367 Год назад

James thanks for the reply yesterday. This morning I connected the heat gun (1300 watts) directly into one of the outlets on the generator. With heat gun on high, frequency was 61 htz, voltage 123 volts. Yesterday when I messaged you I had plugged the heat gun into the outlet on the P3 Kill A Watt meter and the voltage was 112 v. Why that is i don’t know but it’s working correctly now. I enjoy watching your videos and your trouble shooting skills are what keeps me watching!

Hi James, I had the same exact issue with the carb on a Briggs & Stratton and phantom leaking. I spoke with a local small engine repair tech and he said that sometimes if the bowl is overtightened over time the nut will indent the bottom of the bowl and you can never get them to stop leaking. Not sure if that was your issue but but I put a new bowl on and it fixed mine. Thanks for the great videos. God bless.

I bought a new Generac 4000xl in about 2000. It has been very a very dependable generator and is almost a commercial grade quality, I really like the ECO throttle engine speed control feature that works similarly to the newer inverter generators. In my opinion the 4000xl is a keeper.

James, dont hesitate to solder molex connectors. Wire is like a sponge, and will wick moisture if not soldered. Just my opinion after 30 years of their use.

On the other hand soldering the terminations of stranded wires produces stress points where all the strands will break with movement. You need to make sure the cable is well-clamped ahead of the solder so this doesn't happen.

Great job troubleshooting and saving that generator. I have a comment about the fuel leak. I think the stamped metal bowl is bent in a little where the bolt is. I have seen this issue with these bowls before. They become "bent in" due to the bolt pressure and don't allow the bowl to put enough pressure on the rubber o-ring between the bowl and carb. I have used a socket and hammer to push it back out. Reinstall and don't over tighten the bolt. Thanks again.

@A_Man_In_His_Van 7 месяцев назад

This series of generac open frame alternator generators are some of the best ever made. Automotive style lubrication and filter means the engine is a 2000 hour unit, not 250 hours like the crap being pumped out today. Now it looks like the Baldwin kleen power are the best as far as not distorting their output/ having clean output, but for 95 percent of open frame generator applications, this is my preferred unit. I use a Westinghouse igen 4500 inverter, a couple of Firman wh02942 inverters, several different 2200kw class inverters, and even a little sportsman 1000 watt inverter. Oh, and an Onan Emerald 4kw (1800rpm twin) on my Winnebago. That all being said, I use my generac whenever possible. I just like them, and I have never ever, not once run into a problem with electronics burning out because of the generator. I think that is only going to happen if you shut down your generator under load, and that's just a bad idea all around anyway. Anyway, I just wanted to drop my .02 and let people know the truth about these. If you have the need for this style generator(construction, food truck, outdoor lights) grab one, they are getting hard to find in nice condition....

Good call on the Molex pins. You may want to check out 35820 TL from Marlin P Jones. It is a universal crimp tool kit. I different jaw sets to cover all types of pins/contacts and works well. As far as your vacuum leak thought, the bowl itself is not under a vacuum. It is vented through a hole, usually in the carb face {filter end}. Generac designed that regulator to fail. They could have mounted the board upside down to better protect it from water intrusion. Great job as usual!

I am an electronics technician and it’s not uncommon to get spurious readings, sometimes even with a quality meter. Also, I see you have a soldering iron you should get into fixing your own boards. If a capacitor or diode looks bad, it usually is and cheap and easy to fix. Thanks for your videos.

@kthwkr Год назад

Trim pots wear out. And not necessarily from use. The element inside a trim pot is a carbon resistor spread out over a length and a contact that drags over it. A lot of use can over time scrape off the carbon.(A wah wah pedal murders the pot) But even without wear the carbon element can degrade from age so that the output of the voltage division is very erratic. Commonly on audio equipment the pot becomes scratchy because when you turn it you hear a scratchy noise. Turning the pot back and forth a bunch of times can polish up the metal contact and the carbon resistor and often fixes it. But some Deoxit can help to clean up the pot. In fact the same company makes a cleaner specifically for pots(Deoxit fader F5). But that trim pot you are adjusting is very sealed up. It can't be perfectly sealed because the screw has to go into it so maybe some deoxit F5 will help.

Those clone carbs are a lifesaver. I have never had any issue with them. I was recently working on one of my riding mowers, and the carb was shot. It had a Nikki, and even the Walbro replacement was $140. I got a clone carb with air and fuel filters for $12, and they work perfectly. The prices for some of the OEM carbs are nonsensical, especially when there are much cheaper options available for a fraction of the price. I got one with a bad fuel shutoff solenoid once, but I delete those and install manual shutoffs on my machines anyway, but I have had great luck with them otherwise.

8. To adjust the idle control solenoid, proceed as follows: a. Loosen the solenoid JAM NUT, then turn the solenoid BOLT clockwise (faster) or counterclockwise (slower). b. When engine speed is 1500- 2100 rpm (25-35 Hertz), hold that setting and tighten the solenoid JAM NUT. c. When JAM NUT is tight, check that engine speed is still 1,500- 2,100 rpm (25-35 Hertz) FINAL ADJUSTMENT: On the carburetor, turn the idle speed stop screw clockwise (faster speed) until engine speed increases to 2,280-2,400 rpm (38-40 Hertz) (see Figure 4.4). NOTE: Idle speeds less than about 38 Hertz could cause the engine to stall when loads are suddenly applied

Impressive work James. What made you look at the molex crimp connecter? It would have done for me.

Always very informative, James just one question: Did you change the oring on carb and replace the bottom bowl gasket with a new copper one to see if that stops the drip. Michael.

Well. That took a minute! 👍

Cleaning up/smoothing the inside “arch” of the crimp pliers with a fine round file will help the metal pins skid around and crimp down

Mr. James this machine sounds good 👍 sir not to much is wrong with it accept maybe a few adjustments to the power output & engine speed & possible carb cleaning & maybe replace the rusted out part other than that I think it will be good 👍 to go buddy 😀😀
