47:05 Testing Idle Control Circuit
51:07 Wrapping Things Up
The engine has compression, but the fuel is leaking out of the fuel line and the engine will not start. Once the engine fuel issues were fixed enough to start, I see that the generator head makes power, but discover a lot of other issues. The battery is not charging, the idle control does not work, once of the outlets is not working and the engine is unexpectedly shutting down and backfiring through the carburetor. Could be weak spark, the low oil switch or low oil module.

When the pressure washer was close to your shoes, I was literally cringing, those pressure washers can be dangerous. But you make great videos and bringing back to life all these generators which were perfectly good, it saves people money buying new gensets and save all these waste, because although the materials might be recycled but the energy required to recycle these will be additional energy which can be saved by repairing and use these gensets.

James, as a gearhead and retired mechanic I just keep getting drawn back into your videos, video after video! The first one I watched was your repair of the Honda 2000i two of which I owned for 17 years. After seeing and learning that they do not have removable heads it made me thankful they are so reliable (with proper maintenance) and won't need teardowns for years. I now own two of the 2200i models that I converted to run on propane which is easier to store long-term. I am transfixed by all your videos on genset repairs as I am keenly interested in gensets of all kinds. It's worth mentioning your video quality is superb and your detailed narration is tops. Thank you for your willingness to share your expertise and experience.

After watching a dozen or so of your videos on generators I have come to the conclusion that people who buy and own generators either dont know how to service/repair then and either cannot find someone to work on them or fixing them is cost prohibitive. Amazed how many you fix with so little parts just test, clean, adjust, bang another Genny back in action. Keep up the good work.

A big thank-you. Your explanation about the oil module just confirmed my suspicion on my genny. Even after my local small engine shop swapped out the carb, the motor would stall out after about 5 or 10 minutes. While working on it myself, I accidentally left the oil module dangling (not knowing what it is) and the genny ran perfectly for many hours during a two-day power outage. I couldn't figure out what that was, but desperation meant I had to leave it off. Now that I know what I need to buy, I can finally fix it correctly.

Note that rectifiers, even if arranged in a bridge, have a forward voltage drop of about .6 to 1.2v depending on load. It's just the way silicon diodes work. Which means that troubleshooting with a single cell battery of random state of charge is somewhat problemmatic. If your voltmeter has a diode test mode, use that. That said, the diodes should all be matched, and if you get different voltages, it probably means the unit is shot.

I enjoy watching you videos , I live in the northeast coast of the USA in the countryside where generators are a must have, mine is 16 hp Vanguard twin full pressure lubrication oil filter contractor model that has its own gen shack to keept it outr of the elements. Proper mantainance is key to keeping the portable working properly , of course even with the best of care they can fail. In my area it would be nearly impossible to find a generator in a dump or for sale cheap working or not , I would pick one up in a heartbeat to keep as a spare . I am well versed in small engine repair , through your videos I am learning more and more about the generator head side. I look forward to finding a gen set like your finds that needs a little tlc to rehab. Excellent videos, thanks

What a convoluted journey! Repairing this generator would cost a fortune to repair if you were paying someone else to repair it. Stay tuned till next week, same time, same channel! What a cliffhanger! At least the engine sounds solid and should run stronger with a good resistor spark plug cap. I wish you could have been able to check the bridge rectifier with it running, but it looks like would be a pain to do that. I have never checked a bridge rectifier that way. Great video. Thanks for posting.

@throwbo

A contractor needs a generator that works so that he can get his job done. If you took this to a small engine repair shop and asked them to do all the work that James is doing, the cost would be more than the value of the generator. A lot of times people will bring their generators to a shop and abandon them there when they get the estimate and then the shop takes them to the scrapyard when their junkpile gets too big. This doesn't look like one that went thru a shop because the shops will often cannibalize valuable parts before scrapping.

Very nice diagnostic evaluation on this generator. We have come across this spark plug boot issue of too much resistance on two Honda engines to date. Really that is not bad considering Jake has been working on small engine equipment for 9 years now and Honda or clones with similar spark plug boots are approximately 35% of the business. Looking forward to part 2 and the sticker is in the mail, the OLD MAN from EP over and out!

This is an older "Made in Japan" generator - I think the whole thing was made in Japan, not just the genuine Honda motor. The generators we see today from China are essentially copies of these generators. The motors are part for part copies, to the point that Honda parts will fit on them and vice versa. We don't see these generators anymore because, given Japanese vs. Chinese labor costs the same generator made in Japan costs double or more. The Japanese ones are undoubtedly higher quality but not twice as good and in the end the longevity of the unit has as much to do with how it is abused later in life as the initial build quality.

I think you should review how to check the bridge rectifier. In theory you would not get anything through with a 1.5v cell as the diodes forward voltage drop would eat that up. You may have gotten the 1.5 volts through because it's bad. You can check a bridge using the diode checker of your meter, or use a 9v battery. Your videos are awesome BTW.

Your Multimeter might have a diode test mode. It shows the voltage drop on a diode. It should show about 0.5 to 0.7 Volt in "pass" direction and nothing in the "block" direction. Test all four diods in bridge rectifier and you could be sure it is good. (just checked the video: Your multimeter has a diode test mode)
@melkiorwiseman5234
@melkiorwiseman5234 Год назад
@@jcondon1 For future reference, the forward voltage drop of a single silicon diode is generally 0.6 volts, so the voltage drop of a bridge rectifier (through two diodes) would be 1.2V. A very fresh 1.5V cell might put out something like 1.7V meaning that you'd expect to get no more than 0.5V out of the bridge rectifier and usually less than that.

Could be worth watching since you cleaned it, now you can see if the seal may be leaking. Look forward to the next vid! Those Honda 13's are brutes! That one looks to be rode hard and put up wet.

I was concerned about the same. Will keep an eye on it. The breather was also missing so I am sure some oil came from that, but it is on the other side of the engine so would think the oil seal is more likely. Think this engine has a lot of hours on it.

What a terrible design to have the engine mount right in front of the oil drain nut. Great job on bringing it back from the dead. Awesome job on tracing down the electrical gremlins.👍👍. Imagine throwing something away that with a little patience you now have a working genny. Looking forward to part two next week......just a quick observation, NGK is also a brand name for great spark plugs.

Most generators only have one engine mount on each side of the engine. I am tempted to remove the extra set of mounts due to the drain plug issue. NGK is a great spark plug. This generator has 3 different names on it NAC, NGK and MMD. Not sure what to call it.

@@jcondon1 I did a little digging and found that MMD is a heavy machine mining company in India. I just couldn't make the connection to the generator manufacturing arm of the company.

The white outlet looks like maybe it was also replaced at some time. It's a 15 amp outlet instead of a 20 amp, as shown on the writing below it.

Interesting. I recall seeing many a Chinese engine referred to as a "Honda Clone".........and now seeing the Honda, that makes perfect sense.

Honda made millions of these engines but China has made TENS of millions so there must be 10 clones babies out there or more for every real Honda daddy engine.

Hi, James. I wonder if that generator had a flooding event. It looks like a good find though. Good luck! Thanks for sharing! Stay Healthy!

Unlikely. It doesn't have any signs of being underwater. Like 2 or 3 videos ago, he had a generator that looked like it was underwater because it was covered in silt from top to bottom. There is not a drop of silt on this generator.

Originally from NEO myself. It seems Jim has a connection to the dump that lets him know when they have such things. I think other creators have dump connections too.

Yes, I know someone who knows someone. Have a could others with stuck engines that came from the dump. Will get to those next. Not as promising as this one. Would say 50% of the ones trashes at the dump are because of a major issue.
