1800-2300W GENERATOR MAINTENANCE GUIDE RYOBI PREDATOR WEN PULSAR GENERAC DUCAR WESTINGHOUSE + MORE!

A quiet Generater.Systems , love the dual fuel capabilities, camper is 50 amp but the adapter helps and found it still handles the load. Haven't taken a camping trip yet, that's in a couple of weeks. Will see how well it does over a long weekend.

Outstanding! This Video is the video my alter ego would make. I appreciate all the content made to help me understand my stuff, but sometimes it falls short. You, sir, nailed it. Muchas Gracias

Wow. I hope you see this review. This is the best video on this generator. I just bought one right after Christmas in dec 2021. I live in a cabin in the winter and I need to to charge my solar barrel banks, run heating stoves, charge many things. I had no idea how to maintain a generator. Literally I learned so much today. I just had a feeling I needed to change oil 6 weeks later. I'm glad I watched this. I bought a spare bottle of oil but it's 12 Oz. It takes 8oz. I had no idea how to measure it or what to use to put the oil in it. It comes with one use cardboard crappy funnel. Generator is not cheap. I need to use it all winter and sometimes during summers for camping. I love lots of solar but summer but some days it's cloudy and I will run out of power. This video is amazing on maintaining this generator. Thank you so much. Is there any change you could make a step by step video how go install hour counter please? I already ordered every part on Amazon just now. Hour counter is very useful. This is my first generator ever, I want to maintain it. I cant afford a new one. Thank you for an excellent video. I have this robi generator. 2300 w starting, 1800w running. The exact same one I just got from home depot

Great tip on using grease under the valve cover! Instead of some fancy oil in the air filter, I use fogging oil. I need fogging oil to put the generator away, so by using it in the air filter I have one less product to keep on the shelf.

Thank you for the great reviews, it made my decision making a lot easier! I bought a Craftsman !2500 it came with a broken spark plug and a broken cap on the spark plug wire, "shattered" so I brought it back and because you said these small I generators are made by Ducar I ordered the Westinghouse IGen 2500 (I liked the control panel) it came with a broken spark plug and a "Defect" label on the box, I brought it back to Lowes and they gave me my money back, both of these generators were $599.99, two weeks later I was shopping at Lowes and they had the Westinghouse generator I had returned with a price tag of $299 on it and bought it. I replace the spark plug and the second pull it started, It runs great, I would not have bought the Westinghouse generator if it wasn't for you and I got an amazing deal!!!! From what I can see is the defect was the broken spark plug. Thanks again!!

Thank you. Waiting on my Westinghouse iGen 2500 I just ordered for $399 and after seeing this I ordered the magnetic dipstick, fluid extractor, and hour meter hoping to extend the life of this generator for as long as possible. Price can’t be beat at Sam’s Club for the next 2 days on this one.

That was a very helpful video, especially the info about the (hard to find) valve clearances. Thanks for posting this.

Add Coleman Powermate 2200i to the list as being the same. It has the exact same model number as the Generac GP2200i. Looks identical except it is red. Any chance you could do a video on a tear down of the fuel cap on these? I tore mine apart and can't remember how it goes back together,,,lol.. Thanks

Good information for a beginner like myself. (Everybody does not have technology savvy like some critics I see in the comments. ) Clear information. Good detail. Excellent visual on applications. I appreciate you. This will help me tremendously in matinance of my generator. (Also will sate my craving for tinkering on my generator.. I enjoy getting hands on experience with my equipment. ) All in all. I think you have provided a great deal of clarity for me. (Fact be known. It's the best video I've seen. ) Thank you. 😎👍

@MR Garage (Random DIY & Projects)  First off let me say thank you Mr Garage for all the things you do for everyone on this channel!... So far I followed every single step and I purchased all the supplies via your links in the description... But now I'm stuck... P1. When I'm using the 0.10mm feeler gauge on the tappet of the two valve I don't think there's clearance because they won't fit unless you're actually lifting up the valves tap it each time? I even tried to push a little bit and started to bend the feeler gauge. P2. I was told by a friend to add one tablespoon of Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the spark plug socket hole then install the new Denso Iridium spark plug and then the dialectric grease in the boot, next to add two tablespoons into the oil fill hole before adding my final oil after burn in regiment. You're Feedback is most appreciated and welcomed.

Just had a Westinghouse iGen2200 delivered today. First order is to toss the Torch plug if it has one and replace it with an NGK. Then after the break in run, dump the factory oil and refill with Rotella T5 or T6. Using a magnetic dipstick is a good one too.

got a nexpow 1800w spark plug says AR5TC LG,..looks like ngk 6535,...or honda CR5HSB,..gap 0.7mm i think,(book says nuthing)...or champion Z9Y....thanks for showing valve adjustments, cool mtyvac tool ,sure could use that,subbed

Elementary but critically informative maintenance for many generic brands in one shop-spot. 👍

All these are Yamaha engine clones. Add Firman 2000 watt to your list. Good info & I’ll use the links you provided. Thx.

Add Jegs 2300i to the list of clones. I just bought two of them for $380 each including shipping.

I also like using a fogging oil before storing for the off season.

Your list includes the Yamaha EF2000is: however, the name embossed on the engine is "Yamaha"… Is that really a Yamaha-made MZ80 engine, or a Ducar-manufactured clone of the Yamaha MZ80 engine? Are they just all the same?

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Lots of questions answered

Oh BTW: THANK YOU so much MR Garage again for these excellent videos! You're an awesome teacher! :-)

I have two of the Pulsar G2319Ns and lent them to a friend and specifically showed him how to drain bowl once done, he did not have stabilizer in the fuel nor did he drain the bowl before bringing them back and putting them away, shame on me for not checking, as you might imagine next time I go to use they won’t start because gas has turned into turpentine. These carburetors are a little different than others if worked with, I cleaned the bowls unplugged the little jet (I guess that’s what is but its on the side of the pick up tube) thoroughly cleaned out all orifices and reassembled. They start and run but I am getting surging now. What did I miss. TIA BTW your video is very good and I did order several of the upgraded options for both of mine.
