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

THE HEART OF IT ALL( CARBURETOR )

Hi eveiryone, today i'll be sharing with us "WHAT A CABURETOR IS" And "HOW IT WORKS" A carburetor (American and Canadian spelling), carburator , carburettor , or carburetter (Commonwealth spelling) is a device that blends air and fuel for an internal combustion engine. It is sometimes colloquially shortened to carb in North America or carby in Australia. [1] To carburate or carburet (and thus carburation or carburetion , respectively) is to blend the air and fuel or to equip (an engine) with a carburetor for that purpose. Carburetors have largely been supplanted in the automotive and, to a lesser extent, aviation industries by fuel injection.   Etymology The word carburetor comes from the French carbure meaning "carbide". [2] Carburer means to combine with carbon (compare also carburizing). In fuel chemistry, the term has the more specific meaning of increasing the carbon (and therefore energy) content of a fluid by mixing it

More On HardStarting

Hi everyone, we still gonna be looking at more causes of generator hard starting. Another thing to watchout for is a free passage of fuel going from the fuel tank to the careburetor; if fuel is not going to the carburetor, then you could draw the generator for years without getting a response...  Now lets get down to work, but if you don't know how a generator works i'll suggest you check out my previous post on how generator works!!! HOW TO CHECK FOR FUEL BLOCKAGES.   firstly remove the pipe conneted to the tap that is fitted to the tank, ON the tap(turning it down vertically). if the fuel is running freely then that's not what's causing the generator to hard start, now connect the pipe back to tap. But if the fuel is not running freeely or not at all, then you need to loosen the tap. i start this process by first loosening the four(4) bolt of the tank....Now if it's a small generator there will be 4 bolts but for big Generators  it'll be six(four on top&a
