3. Disconnect: Carefully disconnect the fuel line, throttle linkage, and choke linkage from the old carburetor. Note their positions for reassembly.
4. Remove Old Carburetor: Unbolt the old carburetor from the engine manifold. Be mindful of any gaskets; these may need to be replaced.

Operating Instructions

After successful installation of the FTYHFEFH Carburetor, follow these general steps to operate your Coleman Powermate 8000 Generator:

1. Fuel Check: Ensure the fuel tank contains sufficient fresh fuel.
2. Oil Level: Verify the engine oil level is correct.
3. Choke: Move the choke lever to the "CHOKE" or "START" position (cold engine).
4. Fuel Valve: Open the fuel valve.
5. Start Engine: Pull the recoil starter handle firmly or engage the electric start (if equipped) until the engine starts.
6. Warm-up: Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke lever to the "RUN" position as the engine warms up.

Always consult your generator's original operating manual for specific starting procedures and safety guidelines.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance of your carburetor and generator ensures reliable performance and extends lifespan. Consider the following:

• Fuel Quality: Always use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline. Stale fuel can cause deposits and clog carburetor passages. Consider using a fuel stabilizer if storing the generator for extended periods.
• Fuel Filter: Regularly inspect and replace the fuel filter to prevent contaminants from reaching the carburetor.
• Air Filter: A clean air filter is crucial for proper air-fuel mixture. Clean or replace the air filter as recommended by your generator's manual.
• Carburetor Cleaning: If the generator experiences performance issues due to fuel contamination, the carburetor may require cleaning. This typically involves disassembling the carburetor, cleaning jets and passages with carburetor cleaner, and replacing gaskets. This task may require professional assistance if you are not experienced.
• Storage: Before long-term storage, run the generator until it runs out of fuel, or drain the fuel tank and carburetor bowl to prevent fuel degradation and gumming.
