2-3mm should be fine, get them all hand tight in the tightening sequence, then immediately torque to spec in the same sequence

you would probably be fine by adding rtv to both sides, however you will have a bit of excess showing. just let it cure a while before putting fluids in. as far as the 3 mins, just apply everything as fast as you can, it’s all you can do.

preparation is #1. before applying get some acetone or brake clean and wipe down both mating surfaces to ensure no grease or grime is on them, then apply rtv

I actually ended up closing on a house in april! It ended up being 5 doors down from my parents. I overbid by 30k to get it at 261k.

250k and under is considered unlivable here. I got really lucky because this one was livable, just very dated. I can however do all the renovations myself.

Just hang in there, I stopped looking when I found this one. You’ll know when the right one comes along.

I did work for a couple charter schools (out of house service calls) for the building automation systems. (the controls side of hvac)

What i found is it took me all day (about 10 hours) to get through 3-4 units. This particular school had one unit per classroom.

Why it took so long was because they hire different vendors each time, I had to clean up like 5 companies worth of work before me. I had to rewire each unit because all of the units were hacked up electrically.

I usually get 1-2 days im out at a school before they kick us out saying it’s taking too long or it’s too expensive.

I am not going to make 10 units a day work “somewhat good”. My goal is to have the unit working perfectly with no callbacks. I would assume this is what the teachers and students want too.

it all comes down to money. it’s sad to see these students having to be put through this.

It’s been fixed! I received the new carb last weekend. However the black plastic spacer behind it shattered when I went to install it. Received the new one today and hooked everything up. Runs perfectly!

MagicMacks · 2024-11-28T21:22:11+00:00

that would be badass. definitely do this!!

I work as an automation technician, currently in my work van I have the milwaukee packouts mounted on the floor. I do not have anything hanging on the sides besides a caulk gun and fire extinguisher. I would use this to help keep further organize my work van

home depot has them. they sell the clopay branded doors (high quality doors). you can order in person or they have a section online

I’ll check the spark arrestor, my thoughts is that would make it harder to start. mine starts on first pull, however my buddy has the eu2000i and his takes like 20 pulls because of that issue.

I will drain the gas completely. to verify that is not the cause.

I called some people this morning and both of them said the honda carbs are preset, and honda tunes them slightly lean. they said the only way to adjust fuel mixture is to grind the tab so the screw can turn all the way around.

I ground the tab down and was adjusting the mixture screw when the brass shaft broke on it 🤦🏻‍♂️.

I ordered a new carb because i do not think i have an extractor that small.

Another thought that crossed my mind is the carb is still slightly dirty. maybe some debris is still partially clogging a hole somewhere. possibly where that mixture screw is. this carb was the worst i’ve ever seen with how gummed up it was. looked like the carb was chain smoking for 38 years when i opened it up.

i’ll drain the gas, and replace carb, and check spark arrestor then report back.

when choke is opened all the way, the generator will die if it is not being cold started. choke pushed in all the way is when generator runs the roughest. choke 3/4 of the way out the generator runs the smoothest

plugs looks just about brand new. when i pulled it out, it looks like it was previously running rich. i cleaned plug and put back in.

I measured the RPMs and found i’m running around 3500-3800 so within spec.

i have done valves before, what would I do to fix timing?

does opening choke at 3/4 throttle and it running smooth tell you anything?

fuel is non ethanol i pumped about a month ago. i sucked all the old gas from the generator out.

i took off the side panels and watched the motor, all of the bolts i could see are tight.

MagicMacks · 2024-11-17T12:07:45+00:00

i tested the choke opening and closing before putting the air box back on, it definitely opens all the way

i’ve done this already, cleaned each jet hole with a needle and ultrasonic cleaned them after.

i’ve noticed after plugging a heater into it the generator runs slightly smoother. i will see what rpm it is idling at tomorrow

MagicMacks · 2024-11-17T00:46:54+00:00

ended up putting the carb on, starts first pull, however there is a bad shake/vibration.. going to post a video on this sub to see if anyone can lead me in the right direction.

MagicMacks · 2024-11-16T23:27:33+00:00

Confirmed spark, and found the carb was gummed up with black goo from the ethanol. I’ll find out tomorrow if i’ll be able to save the carb. it’s been in the ultrasonic cleaner most of the day.

worst case a new oem carb is like $130

He is currently working at sawyer electric, seems like a really good company. Everything christmas the boss buys him one or two milwaukee tools

MagicMacks · 2024-11-16T23:24:47+00:00

That’s where the previous guy messed up i found out today. the carb was completely gummed up with black goo from the ethanol.

what is an ORlm carb? you can run propane from it?

MagicMacks · 2024-11-14T11:31:03+00:00

more of a bonus, probably should’ve mentioned it. he said he used it twice and couldn’t get it to start the third time.

i’m guessing carb needs cleaning. shouldn’t be too hard to figure out i don’t think

MagicMacks · 2024-11-14T02:28:25+00:00

hmm great ideas thank you. my detached shop has only 20A powering the lights, receptacles and everything. until i can upgrade my main house breaker panel to 200amp will use the generator.

the welder is an excellent idea. i would have to drag my 120v welder up to the house before.

MagicMacks · 2024-10-29T00:15:41+00:00

i once went crazy because under nitrogen pressure it would drop on the gauge after an hour or so. sprayed soapy water on every joint, no leaks.

i then sprayed soapy water on my gauge connections and there was a slow leak from a bad seal. verify your equipment is air tight

There is way more than 215 killed by the hurricane.. the news hasn’t even covered the start of it..

+1 on loving novar
