Excellent video. Exact model I have and the exact problem. After reassembly it took 3 pulls to start it. Only one screw left over when I finished!! A win for the Army vet!

@tacticalpowerpro 6 месяцев назад

One screw left is not bad at all. Probably one of the screws that holds the handle in place. Glad my video was helpful!

I have the same problem, in my gen have to remove another plastic cover and the screw in the handle it’s too tight, no option have to grind the handle to have access. Great video, thanks!!!

Gracias AMigo! saludos desde Barceloneta PR. Te pregunto al finalizar encendio subiendo y bajando ella se estabilizo sola? o hiciste salgun paso adicional. Tengo una pero la caja azul de costco y lo que me hace es el surge en revoluciones bajas. si le mantengo apagado el boton de tortuga ella corre bastante bien. pero en revoluciones bajas sube y baja el idling.

@tacticalpowerpro Месяц назад

Saludos! La del video se estabilizó sola luego de unos minutos (gracias al aditivo Seafoam que le añadi en la gaolina que ayuda a limpiar el carburador por dentro) Pero si en baja te hace el surge eso significa que aún tiene el idle jet sucio o si tiene el idle jet de plástico negro puede que una de las dos gomitas que tiene este rota. Tengo un video en el canal de como solucionar ese problema en una Ryobi 2300 pero es lo mismo para la Aipower ya que ambas utilizan el mismo motor y carburador.

There's another main jet and emulsion tube up in the pipe in the bowl???why didn't you bother to clean those??

@tacticalpowerpro 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment and for watching my video. This generator does not have an extra main jet, only has the emulsion tube up in “the pipe” and in this video I used a carburetor cleaning brush and cleaned it without pulling it out. I have other videos in which have done a deeper clean of the carb and pulled the emulsion tube out but in this case it wasn’t necessary.

@tacticalpowerpro 4 месяца назад

En su caso le recomiendo que la lleve a un técnico a que la verifique por que pueden ser varias cosas, lo mas simple para reparar seria el montaje de arranque por cuerda puede que esté defectuoso y necesite remplazo, otra razón seria “hydro-lock” hay liquido en el piston y afecta la comprensión en ese caso saque el spark plug y jale el listón varias veces hasta que bote el liquido por el agujero del spark plug.

@samquinn6427 6 месяцев назад

Instruction state first pull in the choke position and then only 3 more pulls max in the start position. This would avoid flooding the carburetor. Your first pull was in the start but should have been chock. Good video about cleaning the carburetor but notice you did start in the choke position at the end of video and it started right up. A new carburetor would have run you $45.

@tacticalpowerpro 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for watching my video. I’m confused by your comment tho, the Start position is the Choke position (Start/Choke) I did 3 pulls max on the Start/Choke position then moved the switch to Run and did one pull. I used the correct steps to try to start it but did you see the conditions of the main jet? It wouldn't have start even if you offered it a lifetime supply of fuel and a motivational speech from Dominic Toretto. At the end of the video I started the generator in the Start/Choke position and then moved it to the Run position (to avoid flooding) like I did in the beginning but this time with a cleaned carb, reason why it started right up.

How can I know the model or size of the “main jet” to buy a replacement?

@tacticalpowerpro 5 месяцев назад

Some main jets have the size or model engraved or printed on the jet itself. The jet size depends on the engine and the altitude you are located. And honestly for how cheap you can buy the carburetors for these inverters you are better off buying the entire carb new. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@ralphoalmann 2 месяца назад

Can the fuel be turned off and the carb run dry between uses?

@tacticalpowerpro 2 месяца назад

No, the way the fuel valve on these Ai-power inverters (and other brands of similar size) work is they integrated the fuel valve, the choke and the ignition switch all together in one switch (the start, run, stop switch). So if you close the fuel valve at the same time it will ground the ignition switch turning the generator off. Hope I was able to explain it clearly.

@ralphoalmann 2 месяца назад

@tacticalpowerpro just a thought could I install an aftermarket fuel valve in the line I ask because we have one being shipped ATM and would like to avoid as many problems as possible. Thank you for your time.

@tacticalpowerpro 2 месяца назад

@@ralphoalmann if you really need to yes, you can add an aftermarket fuel valve in the fuel line like you mentioned but it will be uncomfortable to open and close due to the tight space inside these small inverters.

Can you please do a Nexpow YH2200i? The air filter bin is a part of the entire central housing, and that 10mm bolt is impossible to remove.

@tacticalpowerpro 8 месяцев назад

I will try to find a Nexpow YH2200i, but that is one chinese generator I haven't seen or worked on. I did a quick search on that generator and after looking at some photos of it, I recommend removing the two nuts holding the carburetor, remove the black intake rubber hose from the air filter bin, and slide out the carburetor. Thanks for your comment and for watching my video.

@sunnyseason6543 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for your help. I'm back to square 1 again. This time, it's a tight pull cord. It won't start. I suspect that the carb is flooded. 🤷‍♀️ I'm learning as I go. But that might be a video idea. I'll probably have it fixed by that time, but it sure makes life easier when ppl can tap into videos like yours. I'm off grid, and my little inverter generator is quieter and more convenient than the bigger one. I'll probably just invest in a Jackery.

@tacticalpowerpro 5 месяцев назад

@@sunnyseason6543 Thanks for keeping me updated on your situation, I'll gladly help. You are on the right track, if you are having trouble with a hard pull start a possible issue is liquid on top of the piston. Like you mentioned if the carburetor flooded, too much fuel reaches the piston and it cannot compress it. Remove the spark plug (without the spark plug the cord should be very easy to pull), close the fuel valve and pull the cord. If there is any liquid inside, it should come out with a few pulls.

Great video, I missed the pilot jet. Mine runs in Start position but dies in Run so I think its the pilot jet not providing enough air. I have a question. The tube that connects to the carburator in your video is disconnected on mine. Do i need to connect it?? The elbow doesnt fit.

@tacticalpowerpro 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching my video. If the generator dies on run then you might need to deeply clean the emulsion tube and the pilot jet. Also, what tube are you referring to? The one at the bottom of the carburetor?
