- Troubleshooting a generator that won't start and clearning out the jets to get the fuel flowing. This is a "how to" on how to clean the carberator. No parts needed, just a few tools.

You're a little goofy but you helped me find the jet in the bowl. I cleaned everything but that little piece. Thanks.
I haven't been able to find how to remove the carb from my i gen 4500,this is as close as I can get. Well done!
THATS HOW YOU LEARN NEVER GIVE UP. WELL DONE
Thank you so much for this video… My generator had the same issue and we fixed it doing the same thing as you. :)
Thanks for this video. It was extremely helpful in my iGen 2200 carb cleaning project!
Nice job! I have had this model for several years and use it a ton. I change the oil every 50 or so hours per the manual. This is important because it had starting issues when i first bought it due to the oil being old. Another time i was running in warmer temperatures to power my camper ac and it started smoking and running really rough. I checked the oil and it was very thin. I replaced the oil and all was good. One thing i hate about the design of this is that when draining oil it is inevitable that oil will spill into the case/body and will make a mess of things. Also, I recommend non ethanol gas. If you always use ethanol free gas and drain at end of season, you can save yourself the trouble of cleaning the carb like in this video. Cracking open the case on this model is a pita!
You did a great job. I own one like that as well and had the same issues.
Glad you figured it out . 👍
That's a good feeling when it comes together 👍🏾
Thanks!
I laughed so hard had tears when it didnt go the first time the way u reacted an i felt u when i first started tinkering with engines that happened a lot but what u said if theres a will theres a way 👌💯% thats why i dont give up easily if im fixing something if nothings going right give ur mind a break an come back an tackle it again i like how u didn give up while a lot of others wudv pry thrown it
I too own that model. I would like to see a propane/dual fuel conversion on it.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
You bet!
I bought my first one and returned it cause wouldn’t crank, on my second one and I’m out here whaling on it like you was. Time to pull the carb.
I really like the video man !! I have the same generator , I just broke my pull cord trying to start it , can you teach me how to change it ? Thanks 🙏
I have no idea how to change the pull cord. I think about that sometimes when I pull it and it's not completely smooth. We are all just one pull away from a broken pull cord. Good luck!
May I ask what you would do different with your generators to avoid the carb problem?
The best ways to avoid carb problems would to only use non-ethanol gas and always completely drain the gas from the tank, carb and lines when being stored for more than a month or two. Dump all the gas out of the tank, then start the generator and let it run out of gas on its own. Now you can store it for however long you'd like. Gas, particularly ethanol gas, breaks down when stored for extended durations. These breakdowns are what gunk up the tiny holes in the carb, in my experience.
Truth. Thanks.

If you add stabil storage to all your fuel it will easily last 1-2 years or more. The key is to add it to fresh gas and keep your can/tank full. When my gas gets older than 1.5 years I just dump a little at a time into my car. Also start your gen every 1-2 months for 5m to get the fuel flowing.
@@floridaelkhunterFrom a Californian who is forced to use Al Gore's magical blend ethanol is sitting here looking how to fix his plugged Westinghouse 2600i I can attest this is true 💯.
However... I ran the fuel dry each time and ran it clear for 2 minutes with Tru-fuel. STILL GOT JACKED. The only way to prevent this is to run your generator every two weeks. I don't know what else to do.
Im trying to figure out what that black part on top of carburetor is called and what it does
If I had to guess it may be related to eco throttle?
Per the Westinghouse manual, it is a stepper motor. This motor is designed to lower the idle when the generator has no load, conserving fuel. If the throttle control system fails, your generator will fluctuate when running.
Thank you.
Thank you for detailed video!
Gas cap lever to on.
Really Mark using tools1😂
