Explanation of a small petrol generator (Parts)

on my previous post, i talked about how a petrol generator works and i also did some explanations on the main components.Now lets move on to how a small petrol generator works....

                    SMALL GENERATOR


All generators works with a process called internal combustion, it consists of different parts:
  • Piston
 Image result for piston
A piston is a component of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors and pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms. It is the moving component that is contained by a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston rings.

  • Rings

 A piston ring is a split ring that fits into a groove on the outer diameter of a piston in a reciprocating engine such as an internal combustion engine or steam engine.

  • Spark plug

 It is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark

  • Cylinder

HOW TO SERVICE YOUR SMALL GENERATOR CARBURETOR

HOW TO SERVICE YOUR CARBURETOR!!!   Local generator repairers get about 60% of their income frrom just changing or servicing the carburetor. This DIY will not only save you money but also workshop labour. Now i'm guessing you've tried to srart your generator at this point and it's not responding or it shoots and goes back off, now go to the steps below......... STEP 1: DISMANTLING THE CARBURETOR firstly loosen the tank so you'll get enough space. then loosen the cover covering the carburetor(for small gens). Then you get the carburetor's bolts, loosen them also, move the board forwad so you can get to your carburetor. Unlock the throttle cable from the carburetor linkage. 2: Place it in a container to catch the fuel coming out, open the carburetor from bottom(you'll see a short bolt) loosen the bolt & remove the bowl. check for corrosion if there's corrosion you'll probably be needing a sandpaper to scratch of the corrosion and make the bowl...

Don't be scared of failure

HI everyone, before we go back to the CARBURETOR i'd like to share with us something very important.  You might have tried or still trying some of these few steps on how to get your generator working but might have failed; OR you are learning basic studies of engineering through my blog & ain't seeing many successes.  A great woman once said "every great success has struggled with failure-everyone of them!!!!"Emma bombeck.  Everybody fails, the winners are just the ones that keep getting back up again. You are not a loser; really, the only way to be a loser is to fail & not look beyond it, or fail and let it define you as a failure.  Thomas Edison (INVENTOR OF THE INCANDESCENT LIGHT BULB) said, "many of life's failure are just people who did not realize how close they were to succes when they gave up".  Failure is like a fertilizer; it is the stuff success grows in. Before Thomas Edison gave the world incandescent light, he conducted ...

"HOW TO REMOVE CARBON PILE UPS FROM EXHAUST PORT AND MUFFLER"

Exhaust port is a passage through which the burnt mixture is passed out from the combustion chamber. it is located differently in different engine cyles. In a two stroke generator it is underneath the engine block while in a four stroke generator it is located on the left hand part of the cylinder. The exhaust muffler is connected to the port to reduce the sound from the generator and also to expel the harmful gas coming out from the engine. Mostly in two stroke engines; carbon usually piles up both at the exhaust port and inside the muffler thereby causing low RPM. In power generators this brings about low current. Removing carbon deposits is easy with this easy to follow steps: 1) loosen the exhaust from the exhaust port 2) get a long screw driver and drive it into the exhaust port, clean all carbon deposits from the port 3) use the screw driver to also clean the muffler through the hole..i usually pour in a little fuel in my muffler and light it up so it could dry up the carbon...
