  • I have to open up the front of this generac generator to inspect the fuel plenum. I show how to open up the generator to access the plenum. Generac over engineered this access this section of the generator. Luckily a couple years ago they changed the design making it easier to get into the gas/ battery compartment of the

    That's not over-engineered, it's under-engineered. I wonder how they put these together on a production line?

    Does that have its own regulator and drip leg??

    I think this is my problem....now to find a tech who "really" knows what and how to fix is my problem!!!😢

    Spray flex sealer rubberized spray paint and capsulate the whole fuel plenum body and call it a day 😊

    Is there a way you could help me figure it out

    How Sir, I have this same unit I'm currently working on but the gas doesn't flow through

    I think it should be allowed that once a year techs and DIYrs get to sock an engineer in the shoulder.

    I'm in the market for a good Battery Checker, since there is no way you can look at a battery to tell if it is about to die. Battery voltage alone is not a good indicator of the batteries health. So could you recommend a Battery checker. Thanks, keep up the Great videos, Great informational stuff. Happy Holidays!!

    My question as hard as all those fasteners are to get out , how hard are they to get black in correctly ?

    Just wondering. Have an 8KW propane and need to get to the pressure regulator. Similar problem water has rotted the side panel bolts. Is there any reason why I can’t remove the control panel on top and go in that way?

    What model and year was that?

    Yeah that is the only way to open that up - Generac Engineering at its best !

    I have a 17kw. When it was about 4 years old it began taking longer and longer to start until it wouldn't start. I called the dealer and 3 days later they said my tank had rusted through and was leaking. he said their was a recall but they wouldn't cover mine. They charged me $900.00 . He did say the new one was a better one. I hope.

    Sniffer is garbage. Failing the tank was a little extreme since it was not leaking.

    I think you went too far 😕 in your checking that generator

    How did you get the battery out?

    What are some things to routinely check on a GENERAC 22kw generator from your experiences please, besides the usual oil/spark plug/filters? I know you addressed this issue with a Kohler unit in a previous video. Thank you

    Pull the top, unbolt the control with the bracket, swing it over the top, two ten mm on the bottom of the side(leave the back one, two ten mm off the plastic and all the room in the world. I do these in 18-20 mins with just a dewalt 1/4 impact

    Use an Endoscope for inspection
