There is just something oddly satisfying about watching you take a non-working generator, lawn mower, etc and working your magic to make them useable again. You made this old genny not only work again, but made it look 500% better than when you got it. Thanks for taking me on these journeys with you. By the way, I can't count the number of times I've had to cut my own gaskets for projects.

Just when I thought I could duplicate James' quality work, I watch this video and realize my skills just don't compare to his diagnostic parameters... KUDOS James! Another genny saved!

Amazing as to the knowledge that. You poses with a person with no knowledge your show is amazing!

It goes to show that you can never take the customer's word for a diagnosis. Just start from square one and troubleshoot the unit with a methodical approach. If you follow a theoretical, systematic flow chart, eventually you will arrive at the problem.<br>Also, a sharp eye that comes with experience goes a long way too. Great job James

So far the guy didn't lie, it does need brushes. That carb cleaned up real nice. The before & after is amazing. You're a miracle worker. Love your videos.

We have used the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y">https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y</a> for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

Your attention to detail is exemplary and I'd buy a generator off you any day.

Thanks for all these wonderful videos James. I cant tell you how much I enjoy them. I've learned so much from you and I really appreciate the time that you put into your channel. Incredibly invaluable info for someone learning about small engines and generators. I recently watched a Mustie1 (another favorite channel) video and directed to him to a video you had done in the past on the same (or very close) type of generator. After I made the post, I realized that you had also commented on his video and explained what steps you had taken. Very, very cool to see that you also watch and even try and help other YouTubers. 👍. Thanks again and I Hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
