  • One little tip on the oil change, get some disposable diapers and lay in the drain "cookie sheet" and you won't have to worry about spilling oil when the pan is removed.
  • Got this unit last September. Did all the mods right away. Changed the oil after the first hour and ran it for 20 minutes every 3 months. Everything worked great. Last night we had a power outage and I finally got to use it for the reason I bought it. Well, the battery was dead so I had to use the pull cord and started right up. Ran a 25ft. extension cord to the house and had my refrigerator and a lamp running. After about 1 1/2 hours it stopped making power intermittently. Finally the voltage meter went dark and I shut it down. 3 hours on the hour meter, first time I needed it and it quit! WTF!

    I really appreciate how simple you made everything. Not overly technical. I have the same generator and was having issues with the charcoal canister. Thank you for the video.

    That was a great video. I bought the same generator last September and I love it. I keep it in the back of my truck always and run an extension cord up with a little electric heater in my cab and that's how I sleep in the truck. I use the same oil in the generator as I do in my truck 5 W 40 Rotella full synthetic. I also run an extension cord to my block heater and just shut my engine off at night. I've slept in the truck at 25 below zero wind chill factor and wake up the next morning and start the truck right up because the block heater keeps it warm.

    Thanks for really getting in there with the camera people point all the time but never give perspective from a head view

    Just bought new 3500, haven't used it yet, but appreciate your insight. Will do charcoal delete, Co delete, and spark arrestor wire mesh delete. Subscribed. Your 5000 hrs. usage prove it's a good generator.

    With these mods ive ran mine with the water heater, ac and several small things all at once and the overload light blinks but it dont throw the breaker... Got around 400 hours on it and just will not die. Super impressive 😅

  • @whatsyoursguy
    great video! she starts up and runs smooth. thank you
  • Wish I had room for a Generator that big. With a short bed space is limited. I have thought about removing bed cover and mounting on top of fuel tank. Just don't think fuel tank was made to hold 100lbs all the time bouncing down the road. Great video again Sir.
  • @samsudbury2744
    I apologize. I see you addressed it later in the video
  • Great video. Thanks for sharing. Only question outstanding for me- why not drill a few holes in there. I don’t see anything but upside? You won’t change the flow pattern that much and she’ll breath a little better. Thoughts?
  • @liamlad1
    Those vents you point to are inside the filter box. Air can only enter through that one small opening.
  • @mandy3mandy3
    Great video! What did you decide to do about the C02 sensor? I’ve read that it can be as problematic as the charcoal canister.
  • Great video content. Just swapped mine out for knew. ? Sir! ,that last part where you showed where the air flows, how often should you change out the filter above . The spongy one ? & where can I purchase it. Look forward to your response. MG
