Generac Tune-up and Full Load Test

Stanley has given a lot of equipment to the channel over the years. Its time to give back. He recently picked up this electric start Generac GP7500e to supplement his Campbell Hausfeld pull start only generator. He wanted one his wife could start for when he is not home. The prior owner said it runs, but surges. Let go over the machine and make it 100%.

I no longer use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results.

Great general maintenance video. For those of us that have gone weeks without power, the importance of keeping that generator in tip top shape and ready to work is paramount.

My exact generator that I rely on at home. She resides in the garage, topped off with fuel but she gets ran every 30 days weather we need it or not. She's about 14 years old and hasn't skipped a beat. Nice work James !

Good day, Mr. Condon.
Your repair videos are the best I've seen and you've given me the confidence to tackle starting, surging and all around maintenance of all my own machines, as well as my friends who have issues with theirs too. Thank you so much.

[BruceBoschek]

It's a pleasant change to get to go through a machine that has been stored inside and at least to some extent taken care of properly. Of course, we Condon acolytes know that the fuel should not be stored in the tank, too many fuel filters can spoil one's day and the pilot jet is one's best friend, but we cannot expect that of others. Nice job and always something new to learn. Thanks Jim.

Stanley will be delighted with the job you've done on this. It made a nice video too. Thanks for sharing, James.

Hi James, years ago I started applying Anti-seize to the spark plug threads before installing the new ones, I did this because the Champion plugs were known to take the threads out in aluminum and magnesium alloy heads.

Good morning James. You made my day nice. Nice cup of coffee and sitting on the porch ❤

[renbek]

Always a real pleasure to watch and listen to, very informative as always, a big thank you James, I'm looking forward to the next one

[Amy_McFarland]

This was a nice change of pace working on a machine that really had no issues. Hence, how important it is to keep them tuned up and performing regular interval maintenance. Your average consumer does none of the above unfortunately.

[RiverratGoRVing]

James, your knowledge and expertise shows and you're helping a subscriber show that that you are a DYI'ers best friend.
Keep posting, and Thank You for your time in making such informative content.

Great maintenance video. Nice having a stash of spare parts and being able to find the stuff you need. I purchased a similar rated electric start Predictor a number of years ago. As a geezer I did not want to have to use the pull start in the dead of winter.

Agree with the other posts you want to run it occasionally to make sure it will work during an emergency. I run ours every 3-mo or so with a 1500 watt space heater as a dummy load and run the tank empty. Something else to keep in mind with an electric start genie is to use a low power battery maintainer to keep the battery topped up.

An impressive machine! A great maintenance video. Stanley has a gem with this one, his wife should take comfort with having this one standing by.

[jondrake]

Wow, you have a rock solid step by step procedure for fixing these. Your attention to detail and editing is really amazing

[timmoore]

I have the same generator. It's 9 years old and has been a real workhorse. The only issue was the hour meter stopped working. Thanks for the great video! Really appreciate your in depth troubleshooting, and your videos are always are a pleasure to watch!

[buydirectusa]

Your videos are teaching me. Been going through and watching the older ones. Gave me some confidence to figure out what was wrong with my lt1000 lawn tractor. One thing i did was stop using ethanol gas in it. Destroyed the lines and rubber gaskets. 😮

[curtisking]

Good morning James, great maintenance video. Enjoyed it. See you next week.

[chipsatterly]

Absolute and excellent "clinic" on how to maintain an already functioning portable gasoline run generator . Step by step recipe for success! Thank you!!

[toxin]

im going to look at 10 generators today because im bored, watching your videos taught me a few things about the electronics

[keepingj]

I have the same generator, never stored outside in the weather but stored in a cold shed. The paint on the stator peeled off and rusted as well. I had an issue with it and thanks to your channel, I fixed it!

Stanley is a great guy! Thank you Stanley! Hope this machine works good for you and the wife for a long, long time. And after Mr. James' laying on of hands, I'm sure it will.
