briggs&stratton generator

XL4000 generator 5000 cranking watts

I had to buy a new carburetor because their is no adjustment on the old one.

WTH ??? no adjustment ?

damn chinese throw away carb....believe it is a Nikky

I won't buy a small engine unless it says Honda or Stilh on it. Had great luck with both.

Why not just rebuild it? Is it gummed up with that damn ethanol crap?

 

[odorf]

oh no,,,i do not use ethanol gas on any of my small engines.

i have a gas station close that sells non ethanol

we tried rebuilding it, bought a rebuild kit..float, needle valve, gaskets, no help at all

it would run full choked, then would die, it needed a little fuel/air adjustment. simple

if it had a damn place to adjust it !!!!!!!!!!

tank is shiney clean, carb was shiny clean, replaced fuel lines with new.

it would crank first pull, would not stay running
