I have one of these under the name of auto jack , it's an 800 inverter, I change the spark plug for an NGK apparently the ones that are in there are not that good, I change the oil every 20 hours as specified in the manual, and I only use shell motor oil magnotic , around about 9 months into use it started labouring on tikover then after a while it started doing the same thing whilst I was charging my battery, I have had experience mechanically with motorcycles not a great deal but enoug to take a carburettor apart , Looking at the inside of these things frightened's me to deth 🙈 anyway I had to make a choice between sending off trying to get it fixed or having a look my self, anyway doing as much homework as I could on the internet, I attempted to take the carburettor out to my surprise it wasn't that hard I unscrewed the four screws holding it together, and one of the gaskets pulled back and broke, I thought that's it I've buggered it all ready 😟 As it was I only took the bottom bit of the carburettor a part inside with a strange arrangement of rubber suction pads needle and I kind of a float on further inspection I noticed there was a little round filter with a fine wire mesh , It was totally blocked with some sort of fibre and very fine iron filings, I cleaned this out and reconstructed my own gasket with wood glue , never had any gasketsel and the bits I had left ,I put it back together and to my amazement it started up and it's been working fine, I hope this helps anybody who has the same problem thanks,
zoolook1000 do you have any pictures on how you did this on the carburetor cause mines surging want to take a look at the carburetor don’t know much about carbs
@@user-gi3xj8nz3s hi sorry no I haven't , just take the four screws out of the bottom of the carburettor,this comes away like a little Square aluminium block there is a big circle in the middle which houses a needle and like a paddle thing that goes up and down which controls the needle just opposite to this is another small hole about the size of a small shirt button this is where the fine wire mesh filter is and that's where I found the blockage, the other side of the carburettor had some sort of rubber flange I didn't go in there, hope you get it fixed, thanks
Thanks for the video, I hope I have good luck with the one I just bought. It's a miracle the cheap little Chinese nightmare can produce electricity at all with that micky mouse little Inverter and alternator. If I would have seen this video before I bought mine I wouldn't have. It's obvious it's just a throw away generator!
Thanks enormously for your help. I followed your route, though I didn't need to take off the big fuel pipes. Mine was leaking fuel when running, and it turned out that a thin pipe - possibly a pump return - goes into a hole at the top of the tank, and it had become disconnected. Fiddling around caused another small pipe on the primer to come off, and that needed reconnecting too. These generators turn out to be sold around the world under different names. Mine is a Wolf 950 in the UK. It's working fine again now.
I live in Norway, and have the same generater, but with another brand. All parts are identic as in this video. Mine is 230 volts, and 700 w. I have had it for more than a year, in a caravan. Most for computer lights and a powerful battery charger. It has worked perfect until lately. Now it will only run in choke mode, and i suspect some dirt came into the tang, when filling gas without the filter in the tank. I disassemled the carb, but couldnt find any issue. Somewhere it seem to limite the gas flow. Now after 15 monts even without an oilchange, i found the issue. First i eptied the gas in the tank, next i pressed gas bakwards in the hose of the carb about 5 times to clean the filter inside the hose. but the issue was dirt buildt up in the small mash filter inside the carb, next to the diafragm pump. Now it run perfect.
So I just took the one side panel off to add oil and fired up my generator without the panel on. I attempted to move it to a power bank I wanted to charge and it sounded like a chain came loose and stopped running. The rip cord is now stuck. What could have happened?
I have two of these arriving from Tractor Supply tomorrow. This video was a great reference for me, thanks. I plan to perform a DIY dual fuel conversion on the pair. Little known fact, these generators use the exact same motor and inverter as the Sportsman GEN1000i-PL "parallel ready" model that sells for twice the price. The non-ready models can be actually paralleled with a DIY parallel cable for under $20 in parts.
@@yeagerra I couldn't get the dual fuel conversion to work well so I abandoned the project. I did end up building the DIY parallel cable with two 5-15P plugs to a TT-30R receptacle. Its works great with my travel trailer.
Far better vid than any useless 'unboxing' vid. I recently bought this same generator on sale for $150, haven't even put oil in it or started it, so I also did a disassembly, as you did. My main reason for the teardown was that my manual lists the inverter at 700 watts, tho the box & gen stickers say 800 running watts. I've seen several of these generators only be able to put out about 650-675 watts, so I suspect those inverters only had 700 watt capacity. Anyhow, I could not find any capacity rating or part number on my inverter to know if it's actually a 800 watt capacity or not. I'll just put it back together, add oil, and do a load test on the gen when it is running. Before doing that tho, I'll be designing a way to have a small 'rod' of high-temp neodymium magnets in the oil sump to trap all the break-in metal particles so they don't circulate in the engine oil.
I wish you the best. My goal was to show people what in side the cheaper gens. Just cause you can't afford $800-1000 doesn't mean you can find something to make you happy.
Have you had a problem With this generator surging on Econ. Mines been doing this it’s only 1 year old like it a lot just the surging up and down on Econ mode it turns off sometimes on this mode. Thinking my carburetor needs to be looked into not sure 🤔. Have you had this problem or do you have a video how to work on this carburetor for this generator. I love this generator especially cause it’s pretty quiet.
I've had mine two years, it's one of the issues I'm having. With the amount of disassembly I'd have to do, I disparate of fixing it. Oddly, my spark plug socket was stripped. Used JB Weld to "fix" it.
Hi! Thanks so much!! You're Very helpful.. Manufacturer: en.xingyue.com/product-detail-757302.html it's being sold as "white label" and re-branded by many different companies. Sportsman being most common. If you search that engine: "XY139F-6" you'll find others "Ideas" I'm going to actually disassemble one now and use the DC portion to power a hybrid-electric motorcycle with supercapacitors.
I have the same thing under the name Krafter. 220V, 700 watts. First two units returned after failure. Third one has 1600 hours. Changed Stepper motor, they call it the governor, and replaced carb membrane ( identical to Stihl 025 membrane). Still works. Great job, thanks!
Hey.. I am Shivraj From india. Actually I have this generator and i opened it, but now I am facing problem to start engine. I had checked spark plug and carburetor but still its not working. please help me.
Lots of used parts on ebay i wish id have bought a pallet of them when they were $159 ive seen them for $300 plus now a great little generator for what it is
Thanks for the video but man you should get a tripod or something most shaky video ever. But i can see what needs to come off to get to the tank it seems after 110 hours my top line on my tank is spraying gas out of it. it only ran for a hour over weekend when normally runs for 7 hours.
Good stuff Eric! These days we are flooded by toys from everywhere like doughnuts. They are labelled as Professional Equipment unduly. It's very misleading and risky for those who aren't experienced. Keep it up.
I own a ipower 2300w that doesn't have a pulse pump so adding a extended fuel tank and cap was a real pain this has a pulse pump witch makes me think a extended fuel tank and cap kit would work
I want to be honest with you I did a mistake I bought this generator it is not like when they said it is first week I discovered there’s a leak a gas leak in it I don’t advise anybody to weigh this one from eBay or anybody else’s by the way thank you for your video
Funny.. I used the video for reference the next day. Gen still runs to this day. I use it for a pellet stove when we lose power. The key is to run it from time to time when you don't need it.
I appreciate you're posting this video, I have one of these and I've been having issues keeping it running. Thanks for this breakdown, guess I'm about to get dirty.
I've been through a couple of these and found two issues: stepper motor failure, won't adjust rpm to demand. These things are cheap and you can take the numbers off the stepper to find replacement. The thing I just did was replace membrane in carb, the one you see when you take the four phillips screws off the little metal plate. I replaced it with one of my Stihl 025 Walbro membranes. Works fine.
The video was great but as a customer who has had one mine didn’t last a month that brand and or style is a pos be careful using it the electric throttle went out then the inverter went out on mine I’m staying away from electric assist carburetor
I have mine 2 years in April still works like how quiet it is, jut began to have a lil surging up and down on Economy mode sometimes it does turn off not sure if I need to clean carburetor

All in all, thank you for the video, as this is exactly what I was looking for. However the video itself falls short of the expectation. The image is very shaky and not nice to watch. The initial resolution and framerate also seem to be rather poor, bumping the final video up to HD doesn't help, the important information is already lost. Perhaps the result would have been better with a static camera and more planned camera angles/content.
Hey! I wanted to comment on the video about the gateway laptop but couldn't cause RU-vid disabled comments cause its [[[[people who are not adults, but i will not say it cause RU-vid will scan this comment and probably lock this video's comment section too]]]] content?? Anyway, thank you for being the ONLY channel in the ENTIRETY of RU-vid AND INTERNET to document the internals of this laptop lol It's currently on sale at micro-center for 430$ and I'm seriously considering buying it. Glad you cleared up the doubts about 2 m.2 drives, and dual channel RAM. Both SSD and RAM being Samsung seems reassuring! The Jank factor is up to a 11 tho lol, SATA connector is just taped down lmao. I've read on recent Q/A on MC sale page that we can actually upgrade the battery. But the larger one will cover the empty SATA slot. I'm actually shocked that the GPU is not 40W! I was fully expecting this to be a 40W setup. Also, what a coincidence, i used to be an SC player too lol , stopped playing before they released the patch with the gas giant. My 1060 cannot handle the game properly. Can you make a review about this laptop now? its been over a year, and I'd love to hear your thoughts about it. I've read all the reviews and posts on gateway's website and micro-center, few people are complaining about CPU becoming too hot and making it feel like the plastic will just melt away. Does it come with preinstalled bloatware? If you replaced thermal paste, did you see any difference? Did the cooling pad help? Did you make that 3D printed setup? I have soooo many questions. My main concern is overheating. The only reason i haven't gotten it yet is because i want to know if the temps can be manageable by new paste and a cooling pad. Laptop seems to have adequate copper. Yours is the only source i have for this!
