Newer GENERAC Wont Start. Centurion 3250 Generator COMMON Repair after storage. Easy Carb Cleaning

Very complete and helpful vid. Its amazing how sensitive these small engine carb ports are to corrosion/contaminate plugging. Draining the gas and running them dry for storage saves a headache for sure.

Man you just saved me a lot of headache. Main jet was clogged. Cleaned it up along with emulsion tube and cranked on third pull. Thank you so much for making this video. I owe you a beer!

Great video. I just finished cleaning my carb on a 3250 generator. Your video got me through the process with no problems. This is the first time I've taken a carburetor apart. The generator started up with the second or third pull and ran smoothly.

I ordered a new carb for mine. I got my old carb off and the bowl and float were pretty clean but the jet wouldn't come loose. I pretty much destroyed the jet trying to get it loose. So now I'm glad I ordered the new carb.

One of the better on-line instructional videos I've seen. Nice to hear correct names used for small parts like main jet, emulsion tube, float valve, pilot etc. Couple cautions worth mentioning though. When cleaning/clearing the the tiny orifices that empty into the throat as well as the single on the intake side of the throttle butterfly, you really need to spray cleaner with straw attachment and only spray from the inside out...same with compressed air. Those are the bottleneck of the fuel system. The gunk you so often see is a combination of ethanol residue (through striation) and polymeric residue. The striated ethanol after exposure to air (usually through the ambient pressure port) eventually takes on a crystalline structure and with all those sharp edges to bite into the soft brass, well, flushing with pressure from the wrong direction can be more than counterproductive. Also I'm sure you wet and twisted the Q-tips to avoid "fiber drop" but your viewers don't know that because they didn't see that...just saying. For all it's worth I like tapping my wire strand reamers with a hammer to flatten them and create a sraping edge. I've knit picked you (it's easy to do and I'm good at it...lol) but truth be told this is an excellent presentation and you are to be commended! One last thing...I promise...really...Those are NOT 10mm bolts, studs or nuts...they are 6mm fasteners that require 10mm tools. I know I'm overly critical and for that I apologize.

Excellent video Jeff thanks so much

Nice job Jeff: I had the same carburetor in my shop last week that had pinholes in the float bowl. Great Gasoline (not) Also had water in it. I cleaned it and put a new bowl and needle in it and it ran great, like yours did. Thanks for the video's.

This is very useful!!! My Generac generator was sitting with fuel but good thing no corrosion in the carburetor but there was spiders in it lol. Anyways fuel lines and fuel in the gas storage is been drain and ready for fresh fuel.Thank you!!!

Thanks a lot for your time and instruction. I learned a lot as well.

Good video make sure you include the chickens like to see how they’re doing

Awesome video, I like how you show every step and detail

Nice "Long Johns" at the 8:00 point!!! :) Love your channel, keep 'em coming.

Mine had a little gunk, I wiped it out and it started on the first pull. Thanks!

Nice video, thank you 👏👏👏

Great video. I just had someone bring me that same generator today. Same issue. Thx

I had carb problem...tried cleaning it 2 times and it didnt work...bought a new carb on amazon for $13 ...runs like a charm...but from now on I will run it every 3 months and remove all gas .

Your video just helped me get mine goin again, thanks for making this video

Good video man it help me out with my generator. With the hurricane come at us here in Florida

Thanks I have a Generac Generator that's not been run since I've ran it years ago , but I ran it till it started spuding - and hit the choke and it should have sucked all the fuel out and burned the gas up . hopefully . If not when I need it all I'll have to do is throw gas in it - if not I'll use this video . Thanks

Thanks for a great job my friend. I need to get mine out and clean the gas out of it
