Generac/ Dixie Chopper carburetor bleed air jet O-rings.

Here some info I got when I was working as a small engine tech. Yeah we did a lot of generators and some the had old stale fuel so the carburetor work was part of that work.
By the way Most potrables are two pole generators, but RV generators are 4 pole with larger engines and less noise.
Most generator failure were caused by overloading OR backfeed when the power came back on. Usually toasted the stator and was too expensive to repair

Hope this helps.

Hi B.,

I knew most of the portable generators are 2-pole to keep them affordable, but I have not dealt with many RV models except for servicing and carburetor replacement. I was not aware that they were 4-pole designs. Makes sense though to keep the noise and vibration to a minimum.

I sold a couple of older 4KW RV Onan Gensets a few years ago before I realized that I would possibly need them someday. They were only 120V models.

The 4-pole generators are much more stabile power at lower RPM from what I have seen in the bigger diesel versions.

I've worked industrial and other equipment for years but have seldom had to deal with the generator portion.
 
While running with a removed air filter cover, lift the filter and see if the hunting goes away. There was an issue a few years back that the branded filters were made in the Philippines with a spec for "anti flamabillity coating"....well, the spec wasn't well defined so they manufactured them with so much anti flammability that it restricted the airflow greatly. Not saying that is the issue, just one more easy thing to check.
 
Thanks R.,

My filter is branded Generac but there is no telling who their factory supplier is. One thing I noted is that it made no difference with the high RPM slow hunting of the RPM if the air filter was installed or not.
 
Just following this thread.

Question is this light surging under load or off load?

And I check my database for slow speed jet o-rings for Generac parts line and it came up with only 2 different ones. The 0E5690 and 0E5702. Of course no physical sizes listed.
 
The info that Bentrim provided had the jet sizes off the side on the carburetor parts breakdown.

The minor slow surging happens when both loaded and unloaded. It was fairly bad at lower RPM in idle control mode until I initially drilled out the pilot jets.

I'm still waiting on the Honda pilot jet O-rings to arrive that I ordered to see if they fit and will resolve the issue.

Hello Tiger,

It is just the way the consumer market trends go.

If it is pleasure equipment they can have fun with or need to make a living with, they will be more inclined to spend the money to keep them going.

Most of the commercial lawn equipment folks around my area are locked in with "cradle to the grave" dealer service contracts, so the independents like me don't have a chance.

If it is a mower for daily or weekly "chores", regular end-consumers are usually inclined to just throw away or give away the broken-down stuff and go buy new. (They have easy credit card financing) A new mower every 3 to 5 years is not uncommon for many folks. By the time I see a few of them, they are already on the 2nd, 3rd owner or ready for the salvage.

ATVs and UTVs cost serious money these days (even used) so people are less likely to trash them. When they compare the price of a new unit, it makes more sense for the customer to invest in the repairs and upkeep maintenance.

I get some UTVs that are "fully decked out" hunting rigs that are more like a compact many minivans on steroids than a utility work mobile. Some have A/C, heat, winches and a full stereo system with plenty of gun racks and mounts.

On the bad side of the UTV and ATV world are the "barn finds". They are literal. With those, you will find all sorts of rodent nests, chewed wiring harnesses and just nasty conditions. If they are too bad, I turn them away quickly. These are not a bargain for anyone.

With UTV stuff if the engine and tranny are still good, I will take the repairs and payments in "stages" for most customers and I never take in "emergency jobs". It is steady work.

If you do get into the ATV/ UTV stuff, invest in an ultrasonic cleaner and a 2-injector cleaning machine. Stay away from the aftermarket "junk" injectors and be careful of the in-fuel pump brands you choose. Genuine OE parts are expensive, but sometimes the only solution.

Auto Doc-
To clarify, this is my plan specifically. I am retiring from dealing with the public on a daily basis on zero turns, riding mowers, handheld equipment, etc. I will be buying, repairing, and selling used ATVs, UTVs, mowers, and one classic car per year. The pressure will be off of me for turn around time. No phone calls, texts, customers showing up throughout the day, etc. It will be a whole different pace of work. I have thought about this move all of 2026 and part of 2025. I am ready, and it is time. Taking my last repairs 11-19-2026.

The money in gross profit is made when you buy something and when you sell something. It takes risk tolerance, willingness to drive hours away for good deals, the right tools, experience, and enjoyment in flipping equipment.

Hello Star Tech,

Do you have a parts source for these two O-ring part numbers? The upper and lower O-rings are slightly different dimensions.
