Cbronson
how old was the fuel in the tank and carb bowl? This could have built up varnish and make the float heavier
Another issue that my customers bring in are 4 stroke generators that have 2 stroke fuel put in tank.

SOURCE: Yamaha ef2400is generator needs some choke to run

Fuel Starvation - Float Bowl Carburetor
1) remove air filter assembly
*be cautious of tearing the mounting gasket. If it does tear, you HAVE to replace it. It is part of the priming system
2) remove the float bowl fastener. This is the main jet
3) carefully remove the float bowl, the rubber o-ring/gasket will not be able to be used if it is removed, you WILL have to replace it
4) using a spray 'carb cleaner'
spray up thru the center of the carburetor
spray and clean the main jet with cleaner and 'tag' wire
(tag wire is very thin, and can be used to clean the hole in the center of the main jet)
5) clean any debris from inside the bowl or carb body
6) re-install bowl and center bolt, air filter assembly

*if you need gaskets, your local lawn & garden dealer can supply. The kit is cheaper than individual gaskets, and all the parts needed to finish the above repair are in the kit.

SOURCE: Need battery for Onan 6500 Generator

I have searched but cannot actually find what type male of battery it uses, other than it is a Lead Acid Battery. Now with lead Acid batteries, it is the actual Capacity, in Both Amperage output, and Physical capacity. So based upon that ANY 12 V DC Wet Cell battery of the SAME Physical size, and CURRENT capacity will work. Look on the actual battery itself, it WILL/Should have identifying marks written on it. Get one the same, it is NOT all that critical.

Testimonial: "This helps alot..The manual did not give specs on the battery. All I could find was 14L-A2 "

SOURCE: need repair Manuel for Stihl br-550 blower

A shop like www.arcolawn.com can get you Stihl tools and parts.
It sounds like your carburetor is not meetering the fuel properly. A rebuild may work but the carburetors on many machines have fropped in half in the past 2 years.

You may have a bad seal on the crank shaft or an air leak somewhere. If you take it to a dealer most shops charge less than an hour time to perform a full check on the machine and you can do the work.

Good luck

Start the engine

I assume you refer to a 6500 watt Honda, if it's electric start/and manual(pull cord) First supply a 12 volt battery /if you haven't put fresh gas in it do the best you can to remove all the old gas from the tank and you should find drain screws and small hoses on the lower part of the carburetor. After completing this step add about 1 gallon or so of fresh gas, remove the air filter system from the face of the carburetor ,with a small squirt bottle put a tea spoon or so of gas into the of the carb, close the choke and turn the key, if it fires let it run with the choke closed for only a few seconds then slowly open the choke fully, if the engine stalls close the choke and start the engine again do not leave the choke closed for extended periods as this will cause engine flooding and spark plug failure. Also be sure you have inspected the existing spark plug to be sure it's clean if there is any question about the plug change it.

My Coleman 3750 generator normally starts on the 1 st or 2 nd pull. It will not keep running unless continue tom choke it?????

You have a lean fuel condition. Your carb is slightly clogged. By choking the unit you are manually changing the air/fuel ratio to richen up the mix. Your carb needs to be removed and cleaned. Hope this info helped.

I have a yamaha ef2000is generator that is 6 months old. After about five minutes the generator sputters like it is going to shut off but then revs up again and continues to run with constant sputtering....

Sounds like the carb is dirty. Try running the generator for a bit and when it sputters try slowly closing the choke to see if the generator will come out of its sputtering. If it does come out of it then you can start at the fuel tank and remove the filter screen in the tank and clean it well with an old toothbrush. If it is plugged with varnish it needs replaced. You can get by testing the unit by leaving it out and reassembling but you will need to replace it before actually using the generator. If the filter is clean check fuel lines for plugging and varnish along with the inline filter if it has one. If the lines and tank are clear you will need to pull the carb off, remove the bowl and clean the carb and jets. You may need to use a commercial carb cleaner if varnish is bad but be sure any plastic or rubber parts are removed before cleaning. Only immerse the entire carb if it is necessary. Try to remove the jets for cleaning. They can be a pain at times to remove but the jets and bowl are safe to immerse in carb cleaner. If the rubber o ring sticks to the bowl remove it before putting it in cleaner.

The reason choking the generator works when jets or fuel lines are plugged is because the choke blocks most outside are from entering the carb causing the engine to "****" harder through the jets in the carb.

Generac c4000 wont start

The switch must be the choke control. Try holding open manually. You may have to remove the choke solenoid (electric choke) If closed it cannot get air through the venturi which is what pulls the gas through the carburator jets.
