I never had the luxury of a Eurocar in all my life. I've only gotten my paws on American muscle and bolt- on mods and tunes. So I was squarely speaking within my sphere of influence and wasn't trying to misinform. An open intake can seriously make a pop-hiss-*ROAR* on a throttle snap on a deep...

On my 2-strokers I'll get them started and let them idle. When I can't hold a hand over the air exhaust or muffler more than 5 seconds, she's got enough warmup to go. On the 4-cycle OPE, especially the Deere tractor; after a cold start I'll let them idle up with the hydro clutch engaged but...

Gas leaks wherever it can. It could be from the tank to regulator. The regulator itself. The low pressure hose from regulator to engine. Soapy water spritz all connections and hardware between bottle to generator. Fix leaks as evidenced where you see bubbles. Shut off the fuel at the gas...

To Sayjac: Unfortunate but, I blame manufacturers that hold details too close to the vest and claim proprietary information. We as the consumer are beta testing constantly.

As other great and brave minds already said: Absolutely no methanol cut fuels. It's just pure acid under combustion. Ethanol fuels or whatever your generator can run strongly on... do it. When storage time comes? Drop the fuel. Run it dry. Pour off that ethanol cut fuel into a frequently...

I got burned thrice on Poulan power equipment. On a lark and dire need... Ditched it all in a scrap bin at recycling yard. I'm a decade long owner of an Echo CS400 chainsaw. A year behind that? A spanking new Echo 22Cc string trimmer. Both are fueled off of premium 93 octane gas and 50:1...

It's possible that any safety switch under low load will ohm out fine. It's when they are under high Amp load that you may find problems. It stinks, and I sympathize; yet be prepared to parts cannon at her. Conversely, I had a similar issue with my riding mower. Like you I went through all the...

I would say it depends on your local store turnover. Unless there is either an egregious mistake made in manufacturing or it simply doesn't sell and it gets pulled for a distributor refund... Your only clue will be the packaging. Updated filters apparently completely lack outside box...

I reluctantly say I've had a very similar experience. It was a Chonda HF Predator 212. After 5hr break in as a kart engine built up with modded jets, it was..."off". I swapped fuel. I swapped oil. Sluggish still and got worse. Swapped plug for a Champion platinum that was used out of the...

Worse yet... I have a brother that witnessed the animals that work in his region literally tossing packages from street side onto his lawn and driveway. *hard* Carburetor assemblies, agm batteries, various and sensitive VAG engine bits...tossed hilly-nilly like rubbish. How do they know it...

No matter what power solution you choose, I'd say fuel rotation/ turnover is key. Especially gasoline powered systems. Nothing worse than a gunk-gummed valve on stale fuel trying to turn over on a water poisoned carb. Ain't gonna happn'.

Julia's are simply gorgeous. 😍 If you want to hear more turbine though? Don't tamper with a perfectly factory made intake. You want to hear the rush and whine of that turbine from an aftermarket exhaust. She already takes it up in bushels. You want her to push it out in tons. If you want to...

Anything automotive or mission critical simply isn't bought off E-bay.

Agree it could be critters. But I also owned a '95 Legacy wagon. It's air intake was just inside the fender well. It had the water separating snorkel and drain in the main box too. But any light road debris would just get sucked up if the wheels churned it. Absolutely harmless but it too just...

But I know what many members are also thinking:

I'm going to put it out there. All in! Ennie...meanie...miney... Right! No argument. ^.^ Edit: *technically* they are all screwdrivers 🪛 They're just different heads. Anyone remember Roberson drivers? SRSLY...guys. 🤦‍♂️

Snow filter. The foam will trap and allow snow meltoff in much cooler environments without water ingestion. It melts off after hot engine-key-off through drip/weep holes in the bottom of the air cleaner box.

I'll admit I had great luck with K&N multiple times. Yeah, it goes against the grain. Cleaned and oiled right? Never a dirty intake tract or oil fouled MAF sensors. Literally and likely a case of too much isn't better? Enough filter oil for job, and weekly under-hood poking around. So...

Yup, LKQ salvage or after market beats the pants off of old and busted. It's super hard to bond original GM plastics. I had a washer bottle fracture apart and failed wiper washer pump. I went OE equivalent on both with new gaskets and haven't look back.

I wash the foam pre-filter on mine (Deere LA-175) and pop it back on after a tap and air blast on the paper element. If the foam disintegrates or the paper is permanently charcoal gray and the engine starts to rich stink or buck/ misfire? She gets a whole intake and plug refresh. No problems...
