How To Prepare for Any Disaster Part 2: Multi Fuel Generator

In the section I explain how I use my multi-fuel (gasoline/propane/natural gas) generator and the importance of exercising every three months it so it will generate electricity when you need it.

what do you do when it rains???? rain is not good with electricity or generators says right on the instrutions brother not to run them when it does really bad idea if you do can kill yourself or some else .. when power goes out unless it is sunny sky's i would worry with your set up..

@drivin69 I connect a large piece of plywood over the engine which completely keeps all the rain off of it.

and all ways check for leaks with soapy water and run your like he said but not every few months but every 2 to 3 weeks runing it 2 to 3 weeks will keep every thing lubed and less wear !!!!!! thats why stationary ones run every week

@MrBigbmcc I wish I was as diligent as you and ran it every two weeks. But I am not. This seems to work fine for me.

at 10:00, why would someone pay 200-$300 at a mechanic shop to clean a guncked up carb!! i work on small engines and how they clean them out is by socking it in gas then blowing it out with a air compressor!

@cooey84 Thank you for your comment. Hopefully you have just saved many people the expense of a small engine shop repair.

[drivin69]

 glad you thought of it then.. it would not take much to do a person in, from a zap with one of those...

@texasprepper007 That happened to me too. I had stored it outside and it got rust inside the generator which shorted it out. The engine was good but it would not produce electricity. You might check with a small engine repair place to see if it is worth fixing. It wasn't for me so I sold it on craigslist to someone who just wanted the motor.

Great video. We did this maintance on our generator. Runs good but not producing electricity. What could be the problem?

[LDSPrepper]

@rchopp Awesome! I'm glad this video helped. Enjoy the peace of mind.
