Why does a generator sputter incosistencely?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hey there! So, the sputtering of a generator can be a bit frustrating, right? Imagine this – a few years back, I had this vintage generator that I'd inherited from my granddad. It had this annoying habit of sputtering inconsistently, and let me tell you, I became somewhat of a generator detective to figure out the why.

One common culprit for sputtering is fuel issues. It's like the generator's way of telling you it's not happy with what it's guzzling. Check the fuel quality and make sure the carburetor is clean. I remember spending a weekend disassembling and cleaning mine – it felt like surgery for machines. Another sneaky thing to consider is the spark plug; it's like the generator's version of a heart. If it's worn or dirty, it can mess with the combustion process, causing the sputtering orchestra. So, give that plug some love and see if it sorts out the rhythm.

Now, let's talk airflow – generators need to breathe too! If the air filter is clogged or the ventilation is wonky, your generator might start gasping for air like a fish out of water. I recall having a camping trip where my trusty generator decided to go on a sputtering symphony. Turns out, a bug had made a cozy home in the air filter. Lesson learned: check for unwanted critter tenants. So, buddy, start with these tips, and hopefully, your generator will be humming smoothly in no time!

What is the difference between tire bead sealer and tire bead lube?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tire bead sealer and tire bead lube serve distinct purposes in ensuring proper tire mounting and sealing.

Tire bead sealer is a sealant used to enhance the airtight seal between the tire bead and the wheel rim. It's typically applied to the rim before mounting the tire, helping to fill in small imperfections and irregularities on the wheel surface, ensuring a secure seal to prevent air leaks.

On the other hand, tire bead lube is a lubricant applied to the tire bead during tire installation. It aids in the smooth mounting of the tire onto the rim by reducing friction between the tire bead and the rim. This lubrication facilitates easier tire mounting without damaging the tire or the wheel.

At 24/7 Kingdom Mobile Tire, we understand the importance of using the right products for efficient tire maintenance. Our expert technicians employ high-quality tire bead sealers and lubes during tire services to guarantee a secure fit, preventing leaks and ensuring optimal performance.

For any tire-related concerns or professional assistance, rely on 24/7 Kingdom Mobile Tire. Our tire experts are equipped to handle tire installations, repairs, and maintenance at your convenience, ensuring your safety on the road. contact us 321-365-1748

How do you replace power steering pump 1998 plmouth grand voyager 3.3 l?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The pulley has holes in it so you can stick a socket through on top of the bolt head. Sometimes the socket doesnt fit squaely on bolt head so you may just have to take power steering pulley off first to get to the two bolts that run throught the top and bottom of pump. This way might be the easiest. And of course you have to unloosen the lines that runs to it and it will come off. So they are only two bolts to take off, and you have to use a socket and a wrench, or two wrenches to remove bolt and nut.

How do you remove the service light on a Renault scenic 2001?

Asked by Wiki User

Turn on the ignition, but don't start the car. On the right stalk there is a toggle switch that hinges up and down, and is used for going through the different features of the display. When the display shows 'Service Due' press and hold the top part of this switch for 10 seconds until the dispaly resets and it shows 30,000km or whatever until next service.

all of the above is correct apart from pressing the toggle button. if you instead press the bottom toggle button for 10 seconds the display will start to flash. Keep button depressed and 5 seconds later the service counter will reset.

How do you change the water pump on an ef falcon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First thing that you will need to do is remove the raidiator, making sure to remove the lower water hose from the radiator and all other hoses connected to the radiator.

Next you will need to unbolt your power steering pump and the front mounting bracket and remove all fan belts.

Unbolt the alternator bracket from the engine block and front of the water pump.

Unbolt the fan belt pulley from behind your fan. The best way I have discovered to do this is by placing a screwdriver between one of the bolts and use it as a lever.

You will find 4 10mm sized bolts through the pulley to the water pump.

Once you have unbolted the pulley, you are ready to unbolt the water pump.

You should be able to find the 4 water pump bolts and unbolt the water pump now.

The hard part is to now remove the fan off the old water pump and bolt it onto the new water pump. This is where I'd usually take it to the mechanic and get HIM to remove the fan from the water pump.

Now it is as easy as reversing the previous steps and put it all back together.

How do you put brakes on a 1992 olds cutlass ciera?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not alot of info. But I suspect you are wondering how to retract the caliper piston so that you can get the new pads in and the whole assy back on the rotor. Since they are "self adjusting" real breaks (that tighten slightly when you use the brake while in reverse) the caliper piston must be rotated counter clockwise while being compressed.

You need to make or buy a special tool.

I got mine at harbor Freight for $20.00. Hope this helps.

New Answerer: I just finished doing this job for a 1990 Cutlass Supreme. I was able to compress the piston by putting gentle pressure on the piston with a 7 or 8 inch C clamp and then rotated the piston CLOCKWISE with Channel Lock pliers for the right rear brakes. (I assume it is counter-clockwise for the left rear.) I got a friend to slowly tighten the clamp while I turned the piston. It is important to use just the edge of the pliers so that the rubber bellows around the piston will not be damaged. I also had to grind the edges of the rotor a little to take off the edges for several inches on each side of the rotor so that the new pad material would not be damaged when the caliper and new pads were slipped over the rotor.

How do you replace the serpentine belt on a olds intrigue 3.8?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most cars and trucks today have what is called a serpentine belt which runs most accessories.They are very dependable and usually easy to replace. To decide if your belt needs replacing, simply look at the grooved side of the belt to see if it is cracking badly. A couple of cracks every 3 inches is normal, but if you see cracks every 1-2 inches I would recommend that you replace it. On most cars and trucks the procedure is basically the same. First off, get the correct belt by bringing your cars VIN number to the parts store(located on your cars dashboard) the parts store may need it. If there are two choices, get them both so you can complete the repair. Once you have the correct belt, take a minute to review how the belt runs across the pulleys and also check to see if your car/ truck has a underhood diagram of belt routing in case you need it. In most cases you will need a socket wrench or breaker bar with either a 3/8" and /or 1/2" head on it and possibly a short extension. Some models may require a wrench of these similar sizes.Now that you are ready to go to work, you will need to find the spring loaded tensioner which is generally located near the top of the belt path; it usually has a shinny pulley on it. Look at the tensioner and insert the tool into it and apply opposing pressure to release the belt.Now, simply install the new belt making sure it fits into the grooves on all the pulleys. Start the car to check it and you are done and you saved yourelf some money!

How do you change rear struts on a 99 accord?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Struts are not an easy job. Suggest this addition to your library [http://www.themotorbookstore.com/gmbuicregche.html 1993 Lumina Manual] it should help. On a 1997: Jack the car up by the lift point on the unibody. Remove the wheel. Support the rear axle with a floor jack. Remove the two nuts from the two bottom strut bolts. Use a brass pin and hammer to tap the bolts out. Remove the three bolts that hold the strut mount (up in the wheel well) Remove the entire assembly, and then remove the stut mount from the strut. I don't know if 1993's are different.
