My buddy Jason pulled this almost new looking Powermate Pulse from the trash. The engine rotates, but it sound like rod knock and the engine has very low compression. Will it run or is it really trash?

Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results. #GeneratorRepair #Generator #SmallEngineRepair #SmallEngine #DIY #Fixed #Troubleshooting #HowTo Alternator, Capacitor Test, Carburetor Clean, Coleman Powermate, Compression Test, Cross Hatch, Decompression System, Dirty Carb, Dirty Power, Fixed, Flat Head, Generator Maintenance, Generator Not Working, Generator, Head Removal, Hertz, How To, How to Fix Generator, How-To, Hunting, Knocking, L-Head, Lap The Valves, Lapping, Load Test, Low Compression, Low Oil, Needle Adjustment, No Compression, Overload, Portable Generator Repair, Power Quality, Powermate Pulse 1750, Powermate Pulse 1850, Powermate Pulse, Powermate, Repair, Rod Knock, Running Lean, Side Valve, Small Engine Repair, Small Engine, Spark Test, Surging, THD, Troubleshooting, Valve Adjustment, Valve Grind, Valve Lash, Will Not Start 00:00 Intro 01:44 Getting Access 03:22 Oil Check 04:16 Continue Peeling the Onion 05:35 Control Panel and Wiring Removal 10:17 Almost In 12:26 Compression Test 13:50 Blower Housing Removal 14:19 What is That Noise? 17:28 Lets Double Check the Compression 18:35 Valve Clearance 25:22 Valve Adjustment 31:37 Cleaning and Lapping the Valves 34:57 Preparing For Reassembly 37:40 Valve Installation 39:21 Cleaning the Head 41:50 Carburetor Clean 46:12 Capacitor Test 46:44 Oil Change 47:46 Closing The Engine Up 53:16 Compression Check 53:57 Finishing it Up 59:50 First Start 1:02:49 Finishing it Up 1:05:21 Load Test 1:09:28 Troubleshooting the Engine Surge 1:15:55 Fixed? 1:19:06 Full Load Test 1:23:29 Conclusion
