ive learned a great deal from your videos,i refer to your channel if i need a question answered.your instructions are great and simple enough for someone like me to follow,thank you for your great videos,wishing you and your family the best.
Dony, Thanks for the time you take to make these videos. They have helped allot and to be honest they are interesting viewing. Nevervthought Id enjoy watching a guy fixing lkawn mowers. I wish you well with your wife. She is lucky girl. I cared for my father for several years. Its not easy. Hang tough, your a better man for it!!
For a thousand bucks it better start on the first pull!! lol!! I love that stat station on your generator. My home came with a 5500/6875 watt Coleman generator/11 hp Tecumseh , I had them put it in with our offer when we purchased our home as well as two riding lawn mowers, one a Craftsman and the other a Weedeater, I ended up selling the two mowers for a John Deere X300 with the tractor shovel attachment. I'm sorry to hear the your wife is ill. Sending prayers from Michigan.
Yes but the one before this one without the meter. Same engine and everything, i have a 10 circuit transfer switch hooked up to the house and it worked very well . I have been buying a few here and there to resell and these are closest to the Briggs and Stratton storm responder generator, same engine. I try to buy a bunch before winter .
Make sure you change the oil after your first use, just because the engine will break in, leaving metal in the oil. If you run any more than about 5 hours, it would be good to stop it, change the oil, and continue on. The first few oil changes are the difference between a 400 hour engine, and a 2,000 hour engine. It's well worth 10 dollars worth of oil, to protect your 1,000 dollar investment.
@vjp333 Perfectly safe. I run a Briggs and Stratton 5000 watt generator on a transfer panel, and all my computers and electronics run without any problems at all. Even when the fridge drops a sudden load on the unit, it's governor keeps the engine speed stable, and there is absolutely no major fluctuation in power. I've used the unit for almost a year, testing it every week on the transfer panel, and have yet to have any electronic device malfunction or fry.
We're from Michigan, and my wife works in the medical field. She says people come in from Canada quite often for consultations. Some of the Canadians had been waiting over six months for certain procedures to be done in Canada that were done within three to four weeks here in the U.S. I think it would be awesome to not have to worry about finding an employer who offers good benefits, but I don't think it's worth sacrificing quality of care to rid ourselves of that worry.
I have used mine for 2 days only shutting down to refuel. i changed to full syn oil also. ran like a charm.ran my whole house, heat fridge, lights and COFFEE. lol pulled 3600 watts
I have a craftsman generator with a Briggs and Stratton motor 306cc and it’s a 5000watts with a a starting watts of 6250 watts....my question is what’s the valve clearance for the exhaust and inlet valve ....could please help
man thats a really nice generator you have there. for sure a good one with the briggs motor. also if i was opening somthing new its christmas all over, i like opening packages that have somthing cool in it. but i hate the money spending part. which i think everyone does. unless your rich
Hello Dony! I have the same generator, clic but wont start. You think is the battery? Star wen I pull the strings but no whit the battery. Please can you help me? Ed.
Hey Donny I just repaired one of these. A pal of mine is a carpenter and he runs it all day long. The intake valve just came right off. Luckily nothing broke inside the motor lucky. I did do a vid.
i didn't realize your wife was sick brutha, hope all is well. i have a handicapped child and this latest massive outage your tricks saved my generator and made kid comfortable. lol I am a little shocked with your skills you dont have 5 used machines humming along for 20 bucks each lol (i know this was 2010)
when I was younger, Briggs was not the most reliable or easy to start. Year later when we started using Honda and Kawasaki we never went back to a Briggs. Are they better now?
Who makes that for Craftsmen? Looks like a sweet generator. Thing that annoys me most about craftsmen though is sometimes they have top notch tool companies making there stuff and other times not so much. What do you think of craftsmen tools in general? Also I wouldn't mind hearing your opinions of your health care system.
I have a B&S 5550 watts generator that I cleaned out the carb. However, it will still not run. I sprayed some carb cleaner into the carb and it just burns it and stops. My question is Do you have a video detailing how to bench test a carb before mounting it back on the generator? My gut feeling is the needle is getting stuck and won't open up to let the fuel flow. I looked at some your videos but haven't found what I need. Thanks! JR
is your a/c central or just a wall unit, i'd be looking into a transfer switch if you don't already have one. Just a shot in the dark are you from Quebec or the outaouais?
I have a generac 750 watt runs but won't produce 110 volts , tried pluging in a drill and spining it , didn't work, and it dosen't have brushes, or slip rings, how can use a 12volt battery to jump the field?
I just found out the stator an avr goes bad offten an its very hard to find parts for these machines craftsman has given me the run around cant find parts anywhere...
Thank you for the reply,even with it in the on position I still am getting no power to the 120 plugs,I have not tried the 240,are you aware of any fuses or or other breakers that I might have missed that would cause this? Thank you,Andrew
Hi there...I am confused by the circuit breaker switch on your/my generator,same model as yours,there is no mention of how to use it in the manual,is it optional to use?,or in order to use the outlets do you move it to the on position?...Thank you
am looking for a generator as i see this video but the generator i want is a WINCO 12,000 do you have any advise on those ? the reason is for commercial roofing use
What's wrong with you wife? Unfournatley i'm too young to donate from here in the US. I would donate the full $7.00 I have saved up if I could tho :) your family will be in our prayers!
Is the Craftsman generator still working? Mine lasted 30hrs. The Honda is our replacement. I understand the need for your generator as from what I gather your wife and I may share the same issue medically. I hope that the generator is still working for you and that things are tolerable medically.
hi dony i have a generator like this it was working well then it just all a sudden lost the ability to prods electricity do you know wot code of corsd this it only has about 70 hours on it . thanks
I bought this generator 5 years ago as a back up in case of emergencies.I went to fire it up this fall, it ran for 30 seconds and the motor seized. I did all the proper maintenance, ran it every once in a while (as recommended ) used the recommended oil, did all the correct storage procedures, yet it still seized on me after a grand total of maybe 6 hours use . $930.00 to repair ( cracked block) so the repair is more that the unit is worth!!! SO this is just a warning to everybody out there ! I'm going to buy a new generator .. but, it wont be one of these !
@70carlton: I thought about getting a Princess auto motor but I need one with a 1 inch tapered shaft... the only place i can get one is Briggs and Stratton... too pricey!!
