my favorite season is back.

19:23 I used to be the director of the town band and it was a big jazz band so during the Memorial Day parade we would have a couple of amps and a p a system mounted in a truck and we rode through the parade. We had one of these little Honda generators mounted on the front truck fender powering the amps. You could barely hear it. Great machines and yes they are expensive. Bought my dad a makita generator 10 years ago and it’s still in the box- I should open!
This thing ran constant 3600rpm just like traditional generator
IT BLOWS MY MIND TO SEE THE AMOUNT OF TOOL BOXES (CONTAINERS) IT IS AN EPITONE OF WEALTH
HERE IN MEXICO WOULD BE LIKE DANGEROUS TO HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF TOOLS
all Way's broðŸ‘
I realize it’s an old video and you may know this but the coil on mowers with that much rust you should remove and clean the back and the posts it sits on before calling them dead. Seems to be a common problem here in the south.
Honda… one pull & they run.
Nice job on all the work you do on all great finds and really helps us out on finds here in Nova Scotia Canada cause it really helps man it does for sure
Once again many thanks for your educational mechanical videos, keep them coming !
Working on a Craftsman lawn mower the back of it's locked, would not roll at all, and just cleaned the carburetor and the center jet out, I don't know what happened but my friend gave it to me, I gave him food for it, only it's only worth four, no blades don't know why?
Actually 1500W
77# full of gas and oil.
Is the green light on? That indicates it is making power. I had a problem with the exciter capacitor. One of the leads had corroded off. It is a 13 FD capacitor and I found a 15 FD capacitor on eBay that fit the physical profile of the original and it worked fine after that.
That on/off switch cuts off the fuel and cuts off the spark.
I had one just like it for close to 20 years. A great little generator.
Run some Berrymans through the fuel system next time?
Just great! Now I gotta get a winch for my Tundra! Man!
Honda quality has always been amazing.
I have that same genny
You really need to steal the wife's crocheting needles. They work very well as mini hooks much stronger than dental picks
Nice generator for when you camping, or if the RV doesn't start so you're not stranded in the wilderness. How's the kill switch on that mower? Like your videos, I just want to jump in there and get my hands dirty.
You need the wireless control for the winch, works great.
I really do enjoy your videos.
Standard Mustie.
Honda first.
Right to the carb.
We gotta designate him the official Carb Whisperer 😎
What is your base line on money you are willing to invest in parts for repair? Also how do you know what kind of asking price on something you have repaired to sell? I'm new to doing this but trying to learn.
I have 3 honda self propelled mowers.2 have carb problems. One has carb problem and rear drive problem rolls fine forward but locked in reverse. Should i fix? is there any money to be made? . Why would the drive push forward and lock in pulling back?
Why don't you talk about ethanol free fuel for small engines?
Good work ,good explanations ,looks like you realy enjoy what you do,I enjoy your videos.
Newer Honda generator they mess with the governor
Yeah I didn't think so man I just googled real quick gas has been turning to varnish way before they started using moonshine methanol alcohol whatever you want to call it instead of the DDT to stop engines from pinging and knocking
You meet the nicest people around a Honda generator.
Put something in the drill chuck so we can see that it is spinning/working.
Yard sales are nothing like this in Australia.
how com i cant find deals like these
Someone pass the DR. Mustie the wrench
it's kind of funny , i never see you use a hammer on some of the projects like i do . when i am about to finish working on some of the things i try to fix ..good video
since most of your videos are tearing apart the carb, would using seafoam mitigate nearly half the issues you face?
Great deal on the Honda generator!
I have one just like it that I picked up at a flea market about 30 years ago, It's never been in the shop for repairs and I've done the maintenance on it. The most I've done is replace the spark plug and change the oil and clean the air cleaner.
It can set all summer and after a shot of ether in the fall it will crank right off and then after that all it needs is choking and 2 or 3 pulls and away she goes. I think I gave $50 or 100 back then and consider that one of my all time best buys! We live now where there are many power outages in the winter and it keeps our Toyostove oil furnace running along with a couple of lights and will run almost all night on a tank of gas about a quart maybe a little more, figure 6 or 7 hours, no complaints ever! Great little generator, I just wish it were 2500 watts!
I'd love another so I could keep the fridge running too and maybe a couple more lights, or my PC. LOL

Easiest way I find is to pull honda jets out, thread in an easy out .Usually works first time.
I need "that" set-up to load riding mowers in my truck. I'm close to 60 and still lifting that sh*t by hand.
Note to self: The louder the grunt, the longer the pain fades away. Fixing them makes it worth. One day, someone will find my carcass, head down in a tool tray with a big grin on my face. Eh eh eh !
Thanks to your videos I just finished cleaning the carburetor on my EX1000 Honda. It hadn't run in a year or so. Put it back together and started on the first pull. Mine also needs a tiny bit of choke to run at its best.
Thanks for your help.
plow it out with air
You can use a small spiral EZ-Out with your fingers to remove those balky jet tubes from gummy carbs. Cheers!
