Generator needs work need someone to come to me

[Chefhunter]

I have a Champion generator that has not been run in 4 years. There was gas left in even though there was additive put in to stabilize. I do not have a way to get it to you

I am in Waldwick Bergen county

Thanks in advance

Remove air filter and give it a shot or two of starting fluid or carburetor cleaner.

If it's important Chef I will come up there and see what I can do. It's a long ride though. But if you really need it I will drive up there.

[Chefhunter]

Dam Ethanol Gas will screw up any 2 cycles I go by the rule Have spark have gas it should run. I have a Mantis Tiller that the Carborator gets killed every year use their OIL. but after a summer of use and after winter even with a dry Carb. the Diaphrams are ruined. Amazon has the ZUMA Carbs for $15.00 so I do not bother with winterizing.  already have one to change.  

If you have Ethanol damage check for a Rebuilding kit or New Carb. Good Luck

Chefhunter, I can come by today. You are in waldwick right?

Guarantee carb is plugged especially after 4 years of not being run. You should keep a extra carb handy. Not worth the pain of cleaning or repairing old one in the middle of a storm.

Was wondering how you made out.  IMO change the carburetor fond these on eBay should be the same price where ever.  maybe even Amazon, For under $20.00 replace it and for any other questions Call the number I included Good Luck. 

PS most Carbs come preset if not Call that number.

When you get it running again put some treated fuel in it and run it so the treated fuel is in all fuel lines. Shut the gas and let it run until it stops. You should run the machine for a few minutes each month and change out the gas after a few months. Just ran a couple of mine yesterday and swapped out older gas for some fresh treated gas.

If you look at some gas lines today you will see something strange. Some gas lines are not rubber, they are lined inside with some kind of plastic crap.This stuff breaks down and will clog fuel from passing. This issue isn't always visible when you look at line.

Take notice there are new fuel lines that come with these carbs and most any replacement ones  Or you have an option

The Carbs I replace I order the fuel kit couple bucks more

This is why I run Premium gas in all of my tools.  Since I made the switch years ago I have not had any problems.  I also start my generator once a month.....
