Dewalt DC9180C Heavy-Duty 1 Hour Charger and 18V Battery Questions & Answers
Red light on charger flashes. battery doesnt seem to charge.
If the red light is flashing rapidly it means that your charger has determined that your battery pack is in need of replacement and a safety circuit will not allow it to be charged. You may have an actual fault in the pack OR it may just mean that you have allowed the pack to discharge below the manufacturer's recommendations and the safety circuit has been fooled into thinking that the pack is defective. You need to decide which scenario is more likely correct. Using a DC voltmeter, determine if the battery pack has any voltage at all and which connections are positive and negative. If there is zero voltage, then you probably should go shopping and send your current battery to a recycler. If the battery pack does show some voltage, that is a good sign. TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! You can attempt to partially charge the battery pack (while not in the charger and not in the tool) by using test leads to connect it pos-to-pos and neg-to-neg to a fully charged battery of similar voltage/amperage. Only connect them together for a couple of minutes. Remove the leads and test with the DC voltmeter again to see if voltage in the questionable battery pack has increased by more than a volt or two. If so, it is still taking a charge. Move it back to its charger to see if there is now sufficient voltage to not trigger the safety circuit and allow it to charge normally. Wear eye protection. Don't cross leads. Don't try this on an obviously damaged battery or one that feels hot.
How do I unseiz my dewalt DG6000 generator motor due to non use
Remove spark plug. Pour a small amount of a lubricant like Marvel Mystery Oil in and allow to soak for a day or two. Repeat this process at least two times. Then try to turn the engine over slowly by hand. Do not use the pull rope or starter. You need to use a wrench, pry bar, etc. You may have to remove the engines cover to access the flywheel to turn it.

Gas in oil on dewalt generator
It's your carburetor. You'll have to clean it out, rebuild it, or buy a new one. The float pin is getting stuck so it's either the float or dirt inside. Make sure you turn the gas off after each use of your generator or it will eventually happen if there's dirt in the tank. Don't forget to change out the oil before you start it again or you'll have fireworks.

Fuel solenoid
Your carburater is probably stuck open. The linkage on it is kind of flimsy. I have had to clean many mouse nests out of many machines. Look it over and check to see if the butterfly valve linkage on the top is moving with the speed adjuster.
