From a widow, whose late husband always handled things like this, Thank You!! I greatly appreciate you
100% best Generater.Systems I have used. A test for hurricane prep here in Louisiana: three AC units, 5000, 5000 & 8000, 3 fridges, 2 device power setups, 4 flat screens....AND I had 40% of the power meter to spare.
My old generator died after 20yrs. Would’ve cost more to have it fixed. Bought the 208cc because I needed “something” on hand and the price fit my budget. Guess who missed placed the instruction booklet? 🙋♀️ Yours was the first video and I got it started right up!! Thank you SO much!!
Appreciate this video! New to using a generator & have only needed to use twice. Both times I struggled to start it even though its new not realizing to SLOWLY change the choke to run. Big thankyou!
You will have much more success if you shut off the fuel - the gas lever- and let it run until it dies. That will draw the remaining fuel out of the carburetor so the carburetor doesn't get gummed up from sitting between uses. What you demonstrated was useful and that makes your demonstration video worthwhile. Nice job.
I have the very same generator. Mine been setting for 3 months. Got it out today and that little work horse started first pull. I ran it for 7 days in in an power outage. I couldn't believe I was the only one on my street that had a generator. Neighbors would come by and ask me to charge there batteries and phones. Friends came over and we would wach DVD movies and pop popcorn and hot drinks. Seems to me a generator is a very important thing to have these days because we have record breaking weather every year.
Turn the generator off by cutting the fule, this way all the gas is run out of the generator and won't gum it up while sitting. Also advise to add oil to new champion generators as they ship with no oil in the crank case.
Thanks so much my guy This helped me so much today I’m a production assistant and I’m on set for a indie film and we have to wear many hats and fill many roles yesterday I was a painter today I am a handy man/electrician 😂💪🏾💯
Thanks. This came in handy for the blizzard rolling in tonight.
You are a gentleman and a scholar!!
When turning off the generator the manual says to turn off the fuel supply FIRST. That allows for the generator to stop because of "fuel starvation". When the generator stops because of fuel starvation then turn off the ON OFF switch. This is the proper way to shut down the generator and makes a big difference when starting again and the life of the generator.
Thank you ! Very straight forward and easy to understand.
mega important...don't forget to put oil in the crankcase, unless you want to seize it!
best and most simplest tutorial yet! thanks
Gracias, bien explicado, ahora lo intento yo.
Great video and up to the point ! Thank you
Now, I gotta figure out how to keep it running
It is historically cold in Texas, hopefully i won't need my generator but i got it started
Where do you put the oil??? And how much do I add ??
