Will your generator start? Honda Generator Carburetor tear down & clean. Hurricane preparedness! 

Excellent video. I have rebuilt many small engines, and rebuilt lots of carbs, both small and on cars and trucks. Very well laid out and very well explained. Thank you for taking the time to show those who don't have a clue that they CAN do this them selves rather than paying a shop to do it.

Well, I came back after fixing 2 myself... just to say Thank you teacher 🙏 Much respect ☝️ Beautifully done 👍

Hi Jason. Love it. Nice close up and Well explained. Tomorrow morning with a cup of coffee and listening to music I will put in action your teaching. Thanks

You are truly a jack of all trades....We don’t have hurricanes as an issue here in Ohio....ours is more of the ice storms and tornadoes. I try to run our generator about once a month....I only keep about a gallon of gas in it. not to have the fuel just sit and add to it as needed from the main tanks. I was also taught to add Stabil and a touch of Seafoam. Videos are always great.

Love that Bronco in the background! Nice easy lesson!!

Great video , very detailed. Thank you for taking the time to post it, it helped out a lot.....

Good video. What about cleaning the ‘emulsion tube’ which is held in place by the main jet.

Great video. Getting ready for a snow storm (East of Cleveland suburb) and had nearly identical conditions. Used an ultrasonic cleaner with Dawn and Lemishine. Carburetor looked like new. One pull start after I turned off the automatic throttle.

Great video! Thank you for showing us how it's done. Hope the hurricane missed y'all.

Just saw your channel for first time great video. Good tip on the purple power i usually use berrymans but might try this probably less toxic

Pretty awesome video! Thank you and many blessings to you and yours 🙏

Good video. I just was given a Honda ES7000 that doesn't run they were going to throw it in the dumpster. I checked for spark and that was good, put my finger over the spark plug hole and felt good compression so I figured it was a fuel problem. Spraying hot shot into the carb did not help but when I had the plug out I figure let me shoot some in there. Put the plug back in and it fired up. It shuts off and it was late and the skeeters were biting so I called it quits and then found your video. Will use your advice tomorrow to see if I can get it running. Oh and the gas doesn't smell too good either and it's a full tank. Thanks again and Happy Motoring.

Thanks great tutorlage..I got my Honda GX390 carb. Soaking in purple power ..stuff is awesome 👌

I like using sea foam. " deep creep" that stuff loosens bad gas up pretty good.

You are the man worked like a charm. Thanks

Hey Jason, just found your channel. Great information! Now I won't have to send my engines over to have you clean them! Have subscribed and will be following your expert videos. Learned a lot on this one!

Great tutorial for the cleaning process! I noticed you didn’t show or replace a “fuel filter” for that unit...? I would highly recommend putting a filter inline or replacing the existing filter. JMO

Thank you…good video…

Great video and very thorough

Nicely done

great video I have a eb5000 just found it gummed up

Excellent Video!!!

So informative, thank you so much

Outstanding! Thank you.

Appreciate you

Great video dude.

Thanks god bless

I like to soak my carbs in lacquer thinner, works really good.

I just acquired a generator EB5000. It needs to be cleaned like yours did. This video will come in handy. That Purple Power stuff is wonderful. Did you put rubber gasket and plastic float in the purple liquid? I could tell by the video. Thanks for making this very helpful video.

Thank your help

Very, very excellent video. I installed a new carburetor in my 13 hp gx390 honda. After a few pulls started and run for 10 minutes and I shuted off. Next day doesn't starts only a few small flames coming out of the carburetor. Can enyone help?

I'll try replacing gasket, thanks

I see where spring goes on choke and rod but what about other end of spring?

I cleaned carb using your video but i have fuel pouring out the back of carb when the bowl fills up. Yes i put a new gasket behind the carb from Honda. HELP!

1k soon bro!!😎

What is the compression test 6.5kw moter and wat is the felf. settings

I have a generator Honda em3000 and the coil wire came off we don't know how to put it back on

The idle jet you pulled the screw that holds it in place is that suppose to be tight or backed off. Just did this and it only runs for a few seconds then dies

BUY THE HONDAS. FORGET THE PREDATATORS. ....GREAT TUTORIAL.

I have a Honda eb4000x generator what number do I use to get a carburetor kit? This carb has wires and a black box on top of the carb.

Can you do one on the wording from the switch. I’m working on one right now. And had to replace the wires. I’ve got a black wire that I don’t know where it goes

Stay Safe!

do you know if the choke turns off automatic? I think mine used to?

Hi! I have Black Max 3600 generator, left some old gas in it stored inside the shed for awhile but before I did that I ran the generator with fuel turned off to dry the carburetor, now I tried to start the generator and it won't start. Can carburetor still get clogged with fuel off, but old gas left in the tank? Can you think of any? Thanks!

I had to take top fuel indicator off to fix float inside of tank but when I screwed down indicator back on it seems to leak when moving generator around with full tank. Any recommendations on stopping gas from coming out around edges of indicator?

Step 1 when working on engines: caffeine.

How is the used purple power disposed ?

Do u have to take gas tank off to replace a round air filter?

Interesting....Honda says maximum temperature 104 F. Good to know. It also says "do not operate in rain or snow." Ah hah. So what if your power goes out in winter......will this start in sub zero temperatures Fahrenheit ? And if it does start in sub zero F what about snow? What good is this thing if it won't work for exactly what you bought it for? How can you operate these things in winter during a power outage? Will it start at 20F below zero? How can you protect it from snow and rain?

Great video. Just what I was looking for. I have the exact same genny. I took it apart and prior to soaking in purple power this brass piece fell out of it. I'm not sure where it fell out from. I didn't see this part in your video. Does this piece go in before the fuel jet. Thanks in advance. Link to pic drive.google.com/file/d/1zNgECRksL-vDNm_8mxvbtp9dUN0eF7Da/view?usp=drivesdk
