MegaForce Generator Kicked Back with Mega Force

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

A local subscriber asked me to have a look at his generator. Last time he ran it under load, the engine was bogging and smoke coming from the exhaust. He is assuming the worst as he included a full engine gasket kit. Lets try to reproduce the problem and go from there.

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.
