A subscriber sent this Beacon generator to me at no cost. The only condition was I make a video on it. He did not say it had to run and make power, but of coarse that is the goal. I don't know the history on this generator. From looking at it I would say it spent most of its life outside. There is a lot or rust and aluminum oxide and some missing pieces. This generator was made by Generac and branded Beacon. Will it run and make power again?
Fun fact: In 1998, Generac sold its portable products division to the Beacon group, a private equity firm, who later sold it to Briggs & Stratton Corporation. Upon expiration of a non-compete agreement related to the sale in 2007, Generac re-entered the portable generator market in 2008.

For some reason RU-vid has been processing this video for over 24 hours and as a result high definition is not available only 360p. Will force RU-vid to reprocess the video. Most likely the low definition playback will stop while processing. With any luck both the low and high resolution versions will be available later this morning. Otherwise will upload from scratch and release as new.

@NotThePulla Год назад

Ive had this happen a few times, looks like you typically post in 1080p, might be because its 1+hour and i think youtube does a different compression process for that length (not 100% on this). Double check what your bitrate is on the export, one trick I do sometimes when theyre this long is render it in 720p (high bitrate), then create a new 1080p timeline from that and render that out. Yes the resolution will be lower, but would take less time to get the full video uploaded and it would still show as an HD upload and takes up much less space on your hard drives

@NotThePulla Год назад

Nevermind about that 1Hr plus different processing thing, i dont think thats right. but give that re-wrap idea a try. youtubes compression and processing can be a bit finnicky

@Conservator. Год назад

Highest quality is 360p in settings (2 hours after your post) Still a very interesting video and a nice generator 😉

@kevin34ct Год назад

Yes, still only 360p 3 hours later. It happened to me once. I ended up deleting the video and reupload. But, we know you have a schedule to keep being a more mainstream channel. Still appreciate the video.

I just found your channel and I will tell you a story about a genset given to me and what a small world we live in !!! I was given the exact same generator because of a no output issue . The story goes that it got rained on and stopped making power , I did some research and followed the tests with my meter on the head and everything checked out resistance wise , I got together with Gary on line , sent him the boards and it turned out to be be a bad diode in the system control board , I installed the board in the genset and I fired the unit and it works like a charm !!!! Gray's great !!!! LOL still have the unit and just serviced it for winter , My unit was stored inside so did not have the rust and corrosion issues , Great video , all the best Bob k

@knucklesandwich8786 Год назад

i worked for Generac from about 97-2001. This is in fact an XL generator. If I remember correctly, this model had one central front rotating caster wheel. Beacon was an investment firm that had an interest in Generac. I left when Briggs purchased the portable products division, which included this model. The engine is also made by Generac. Quality product for the price. Good vid. Brings back some good memories when Y2K hit and gen sales were absolutely crazy!!!

@jcondon1 Год назад

I found a picture of the generator with the missing wheel. Looked a little like a Honda ATC. Just need a seat and handle bar. The XL generators were built very well. Was hoping this one had survived the neglect. But even a good machine can be stopped in its tracks when left outside for a long time.

@MrBohab Год назад

Oof, I felt that "Where did it go?" when the pin went flying. Losing those small bits drives me bonkers! Love the vids!

@artpatronforever Год назад

When you get crusty old equipment it can help to go around and put a small shot of PB Blaster on fasteners and on edge crevices where sheet metal is fastened. Let it soak awhile and then briefly play the flame from a propane torch on the screws or bolts to heat them just enough to get a wisp of smoke and then PB Blast them again while still hot. Later when you try to break these crusty fasteners loose, most will break free. It can help to tap the fastener sharply metal to metal using a solid as a drift, like using a driver bit on a Philips to do an initial manual impact before gunning it and doing this while still hot can improve the chances of breaking the parts free. The manual impact bit drivers that are struck with a hammer to drive a spiral can also do the job on the most stubborn parts if the structure is solid enough to survive the jolting impact used.

@AmosBHaven Год назад

I was kinda wondering the same thing. PB blaster, or (gasp) WD-40, with some heat on the internal threads from the outside may well buster loose. Oh! Should you, or when you extract the snapped off fasteners? sometimes, but not always? left-handed drill bits can be your friend. Logic is the bit is applying heat whilst turning in the correct direction for extraction. I ALMOST fell out of my chair when you punched out that float pin. "IT'S GONE!" "It's gone!" Black holes! 😂 But you found it...THIS time! 👍

@artpatronforever Год назад

@@AmosBHaven Working on motorcycles having cast aluminum crankcases with cast aluminum housing covers fastened on with cadmium plated steel Phillips head machine bolts, the natural effect of dissimilar metals produced the worlds best locktite. A similar effect occurs for stainless steel bolts in aluminum engine blocks for outboard motors especially in sea water use. Screws and bolts on cast iron exhaust manifolds are a joy in comparison to those frozen fastener scenarios and all keep the Helicoil thread insert manufacturers having job security. I use that copper powder anti seize grease very often and on spark plug threads, the same used on oxygen sensors. Heat and penetrating oil and impact drivers are helpful but there is sometimes the stubborn stuck fastener that is like a stuck wheel lug and only comes loose when wrung in two, or drilled, ground, welded, saws alled, or dynamited loose. Give me that 8 foot pipe as a cheater handle and I can break it loose every time even if I have to put a jack under the end and jump on it. Bring me my sledge hammer. I can fix it.

@williambikash6645 Год назад

@@artpatronforever I once used a 2 ton bottle jack against an 18" Herbrand adjustable wrench to preload a bronze strut on a boat to align it better with the prop shaft. While under pressure I hit the strut with a 4 lb hand held sledge hammer. I got the desired twist and then the lower jaw broke and flew out of the wrench. It missed me and I never found it.I believe it is still in earth orbit. I got a new wrench under warranty!

@lv_woodturner3899 Год назад

I am normally interested in these videos, but since I have a Generac 7000 EXL generator, I was even more interested than usual. I purchased this new around 2005. Mine has worked fine all these years. Often only needed for a few hours to a day due to power outages. It did have to run for 7 days when we lost power after super storm Sandy back in 2012. My generator is stored inside my garage which is indirectly heated by the house so no rust. Some of the control panel decals are fading, but otherwise looks like new. I did notice the tank on this one has a drain around the fill cap. Mine is a circular recess so rain water builds up and cannot drain. The Beacon tank is a better design. Looking forward to part 2. Fingers crossed the re-repair does the trick. Dave.

@Bassguitarist1985 Год назад

I got the same machine as you. Not sure what revision but make sure there is a 10 amp inline fuse at the starter button on the battery side. There is a thin wire that goes from the battery side all the way back to the powerhead. This is to charge the onboard starting battery. Many don't keep a battery on the machine and if the positive cable grounds to the frame that 10 amp fast blow fuse will protect the stator windings from cooking.

lot of times those float pins have a knurled end that keeps them secure once its driven in, and you want to drive them out the reverse so the knurling disengages almost immediately, it looks like maybe that pin had that feature.. if the pin does not drive easy, try the other direction.

@killer2600 Год назад

Also some pins are tapered and the holes of the posts are slightly different sizes to match the taper which makes the pin directional and it only goes in and comes out from one side.

@MacGyver-1 Год назад

Those generacs of that generation are a good motor with full pressure lube and most of them have a filter too (denoted by XL). One of my only beefs with them are the carburators, they are quite finicky and the idle jet gets gummed up after only few months if it is left with gas in the carb and not used. On the generator side of those older Genny's they have alot of issues with the avr/ auto idle boards in my experience they need constant adjustment to keep the voltage from being to high or low and the boards often fail, I've used universal avrs to get them up and running and that seems to be a good solution, I've also seen quite a few with burned up windinds on both the stator and rotor not sure if they burned up because of bad avrs pushing the voltage to high or just bad insulation on the windings. In fact I have 3 low hour nearly brand new engines sitting on the shelf that came from generators with burned up windings.

Just a quick tip: When your float pin is stuck like that, try some carb and choke cleaner first to remove any built up varnish. But when it's hammer time, support the other side with a deep socket at least the length of the float pin. That way you decrease side loading of the standoffs with each hammer strike. Cheers 🍻

I am sorry to see you having so much trouble with this one. I have often thought of building a "ping" box similar to a small well lit sandblasting cabinet and containing a vise. Open clear lid, insert part to be disassembled, close lid, insert hands through access holes, apply percussive persuasion and when the part goes "ping", it is contained in the box rather than hiding in an obscure location on the shop floor.

James For Getting Those Rusted Bolts Loose, You Need What's Called A "Shake-N-Break". You Attach It To A Air Hammer. The Impacts From The Air Hammer Are In And Not Left Or Right Like An Impact Or Ratchet & Socket. Hammering In And Out On The Rusted Bolts Breaks The Rust And/Or Corrosion Loose While You Use Your Own Pressure To Turn The Rusted Bolt Left Or Right Hence Way Easier To Get The Rusted Bolts Out Without Breaking Them. You Can Also Get Other Attachments For Air Hammers Such As Screwdriver Bits Which Will Easily Allow You To Break The Phillips Screws Loose That Hold Certain Brake Rotors Onto A Vehicle, With The Help Of The "Shake-N-Break" Of Course.
