Was having the same issue. Tried the bypass, but now I have no ac power. Does the red wire need to be plugged into that co sense ??
I am not 100% sure. I did not test the output while I had it unplugged. I would try plugging the cosence back in.
get off the seat
Thank you just got two genny's going running great
Great video dude
No clarity on which jet was being tweaked.
I’m having an issue with my duromax co sensor. It shuts down in open air in 4 minutes. Grrr
Bummer. Hope you can figure it out.
I got a new spark plug and carb. Still won’t start
Do you have spark?
Should have been a recall!!! My almost new one did the same thing….
Great video. I have the same PW with the same exact issue. I thought the worst and was ready to trash it. It's only been used a handful of times so practically new. I was thinking it needed a major overhaul and was looking to replace it with an electric-powered one like Greenworks or something similar. I'll take a crack at fixing this one before I jump into something else. Thanks for this valuable info.
T25 nuts torx nuts will remove. Good fix, smart to remove only part of sticker. Test output of gen prior to this hack, rotor stator problems will shut down gen in 10 seconds also. Sometimes a field flash is all they need.
Great repair video especially where you show the magic air/fuel mixture screw location. You may want to mention about richening it until it runs rough or 4 stokes, then lean it just until it runs clean again. No leaner. That's the sweet spot. Thanks
I've been just adding a couple ounces of Seafoam in my engines for storage and it's been working fine for the past 30 years or so. I never have dirty carbs on my motorcycles, snowblowers, lawnmowers or chainsaws since I started using it. It keeps all the fuels systems clean and is an excellent fuel stabilizer during long term storage and I always use 87 octane pump gas. I have never drain carbs or used the non-alcohol fuel during storage. I do shut off the fuel incase a needle valve sticks open, but that's the only thing I do. Works for me!
Awesome. Thanks for the tip
I knew Cosense would be a problem. I bought my Generac 8000 2 years ago and got one without Cosense.
Excellent video. Great work. Good narration and video quality.
Thank you for watching.
good video... i have ro clean the carburetor every year when i start it. now i need to find the part number to the fuel line coming for the gas tank to the carbarator. i cut it while trying to remove the clip..ooops..
Take a piece of hose to your local auto store. They should have that size.
I did, all they had was a windshield washer hose of the size. It’s on now, I was however of it having gas through it. We’ll see. Do you know what engine is used in the 3100 PSI model? I have leak in the carburetor now, so I want to find replacement gaskets. Thanks for the reply’s
Hey so I got a similar pressure washer it's a Duromax, sing principal, my question is: I was able to finagle my way into a brand new carburetor, and I'm still having an issue so I'm not thinking it's a hardware issue I think it might be as soon as you I'm just trying to figure out the easiest way for me to repair this and the company is kind of tired of answering me not being a service technician, thanks small engine repair guy!
Thank you this video helped, have a new gp9200E with 5.5 hrs, i only run non ethanol fuel but still checked the carb it was spotless, this video is exactly what mine was doing, just did the bypass it runs perfectly again.
Awesome! Great job!
Okay..nice work cleaning out the carb but it sure looks like you did not replace the big o ring. Why?
I was able to repair it by using super glue.
At, 24:50 , quite the contrary, you actually do have one on hand!
Thanks for the video. What are your thoughts on what would cause the air filter to be soaked with fuel/oil.
Most likely caused by flooding the engine out and maybe too much choke.
For some reason you can buy a new carb for the same price or cheaper than a rebuild kit.
I have a 2004 Craftsman 8HP snowblower with a Briggs engine and haven’t had any issues. I run it out of gas every year for summer storage and have only removed the carb bowl and jet once for cleaning.
That's great! These MTD engines are quick to gum up for some reason.
Mine is only 2-3 yrs old and probably only used it 10 times and it did this. Appreciate the vid. Fixed the problem and good to go.
Nice great idea
Why is this necessary?
In order to test this engine out, you need to put the cover back together. This adapter lets you test the engine without putting everything back together.
Hope this helps out at least one person avoid having carburetor issues in the future. Thank you for watching!
You definitely are AWESOME!! I was hesitant about attempting this, but you had detailed instructions that made it so easy. Thank you.
Great video. I’ve added stabilizer to my fuel. Still can’t run full throttle. Thing fuel line could be clogged?
I doubt it's will be a fuel line issue. Pull the carb and give it a good cleaning. You can always check the fuel flow with the carb off.
Briefly thought about tackling this project and thanks to your video I will not! Nice work though. I’d just assume buy a new blower lol.
For about $30, you can buy the stuff I'm using to fix it. Way cheaper than a new machine!
Thank you! This is my exact model. Similar to others comments. mild CT winters , new blower , only used once last March, drained tank in the spring. still managed to clog. I did see some saw dust in the carb bowl, its stored right next to my table saw. Have to get back to following the fueling instructions my dad taught me when I was 10. wipe around cap area before filling! Runs now, a little rough, have to adjust carb in warmer weather. Will get the job done if I need it before spring. Thanks again and may God bless you!
Great work. Glad it worked. Thanks for watching.
I just put some bigger nuts over studs and put a couple of nuts on and snug up
So thank you for this video. Back in the fall I tried to get my Cub to start and it just turned and turned. Pretty new machine, but the tri-state winters have been so mild that the carb clogged from lack of use and my lack of maintenance. Never cleaned a small carb before but watched this video and cleaned it and it started and today after a real storm it operated as it should. The trouble that was saved with getting it up into the truck and the cost and the picking up again. No one else in the house cares, but small victories like this are a happy occasion! Thanks.
Great to hear! Good work!
My brother in law bought this snow blower a few years ago. It has never started at the beginning of each season although he stores it according to the manual. The carb gets clogged every year preventing it from starting. It has no provision to spray starter fluid into it. I would stay away from this engine and model if I were you unless you don't mind getting a couple hundred dollar service bill every year.
As soon as you told me the primer wasn’t working right made me realize exactly what the issue with mine is, pretty much the exact same issue, brand new blower I bought two winters ago and used like 2 times, same model too, hopefully this sorts it
It worked, started first pull!
This was great. Even though I had a slightly different model, your explanation was so clear that I was able to get through it with a minimum of fuss. Was a big victory too because it has been very hard to find anyone available to service the device. Thank you!
What do you recommend for a portable back generator for the house . What brand is good.
Hard to make a recommendation without a budget in mind. If I was buying one, I probably buy a higher end predator generator from Harbor Freight. With that said, I don't have experience with them because I don't see them in the shop... which is a good sign. Good luck.
I got brand new cub cadet with the 272cc. First start I heard it surge a couple of times. I have not had it out as no snow to use it on(pretty good winter so far).
Thank you brother for the maintenance video

I did what you did and now generator not making power
Check all of your connections
😂😂😂
How long of cord did it end up needing?
I use an arm span. For me, that is generally 5.5 - 6 feet long.
Thanks@@thesmallenginerepairguy
Great video, Thank you for sharing.
My GP6500 co sense board was fried Unplugged it the generator runs, gonna bypass it tomorrow Great info thanks!
When i turn my choke to full left it wants to bog down....only been doing it for 15 years since the day i bought it LOL...any ideas? I mean is starts and does its job...i just need to turn the throttle back a little.
The throttle control is the lever with the rabbit and turtle. The choke is the round knob. Sounds like a cleaning might be in your future to make that thing sing.
I did say that backwards LOL....TY@@thesmallenginerepairguy
Followed your steps and it works. Had to use a drill in reverse to get it to make power. Now once the generator is shut off and I restart it there is no power. I have to use the drill again. Any thoughts? Thanks
That's a tough one. Check the rotor brushes. They should be clean and bright brass color.
Two weeks later the customer died from CO poisoning.☠️😫 Don't run your generator in your outhouse to keep warm if you are constipated unless the CO shutoff circuit is working.
Running your generator outdoors and not indoors should be common sense. Thanks for the PSA.
Great job on the camera work. I'm surprised you could get such a good view while cleaning the jets. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent work
Man, I did all of this and now I believe I stripped the fuel bowl screw!
That is a bummer.
I have this model. Mine runs but once I engage the auger and or the drive it shuts down. Its too cold to work on it right now. Gonna try to run some seafoam through it and if that doesn't help then maybe try this.
Make sure the auger can spin and that the impeller is not siezed. If it's siezed then that could stop the engine once it's engaged.
@@thesmallenginerepairguyIt got to the point where it would start but only run in full choke. I cleaned the carb and it is now working. It was pretty clean but that tiny hole in the black plug on top was clogged. Not sure why that is such a big deal but it was.
