Briggs Standby Generator Delivers

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

I found this Briggs and Stratton standby generator on Craigslist for only $150. The seller says he no longer needs it and it ran when last tested. It sounds too good to be true. Lets go through the machine and try it out.

A subscriber @jmtracmach is looking for detailed information on how to rewind his stator. That is something I have looked for many times and failed. Here is a link to a video he made about the problem he is trying to solve: https://youtu.be/wXduacLDGME?si=JMGUzfieGRR6iTDD. If you have detailed plans on rewinding a single phase or 3 phase generator complete with details on the DPE winding, auxiliary winding and wire gauge calculations needed based on voltage and amp output requirements etc, please send that information along. Many could benefit from it.

I no longer use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. 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.
