Makita Generator: Makita G6100r carburetor

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 09:38:53 -0700

I'm looking for a replacement carburetor or a rebuild kit. So I can at minimum replace the gaskets and any O rings that are used with the existing one. The OEM part for the assembly is 247-62325-20 - CARBURETOR ASSY - G6100R - Makita. These are no longer in production but I'm hoping to be able to repair it. Im going to try to clean the existing carburetor in an ultrasonic cleaner but I need new gaskets and O rings. Any help would be appreciated!

MiTM Portable Generator GEN6500HDK1: Why does my generator shut down after a minute or less after starting

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 15:37:08 -0700

Our generator shuts down within 30 seconds after startup. We rebuilt the carb, changed the co2 sensor and cleaned the fuel lines. We were going to order a new carb, but Mi-T-M tells us the need a serial number under the generator near the tire that doesn't exist. The number stamped on the generator does not help them at all. Any suggestions for the repair??

Generator: Kipor IG3000 carburator Gaskets and spacer position

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 08:48:49 -0700

Does anyone know the correct lineup of gaskets and spacer on my kipor 3000 generator. I know the first two left to right on it but not sure where third gasket and spacer go. It's roughly a 2018 year not later bought new then

IG 3000 model number I didn't see where that thick metal spacer came from it fell when I pulled it off. Had it running once then next day right back where I started. Cleaned everything but I think it's sucking air so I got new gaskets . Want to be sure of the order so I don't beat gaskets up redoing it. get gas to the bowl cleaned jets and float stuff but it doesn't seem to be getting gas. Runs on starter fluid. Any help is appreciated
