Englandboy:
can I do it by myself I have seen it it stain with oil and dust inside

Wash with warm water and soap, rinse and allow to dry, then soak it in oil. Squeeze out the oil and put it back on, that's it.

Good morning Gptech.
I want to buy a generator today. Can I advice me on the brand to go for.

My budget is 140k.

I want an a good generator with low noise, low fuel consumption, easy to maintain, able to power home appliances like blender, fridge, washing machine and pumping machine.

Any brand suggestions and power rating please?

Assuming the pumping machine is 1Hp, you'll need a 3.5kva generator like this Sumec spg 3000, but you'll need to up your budget to around 200k.

I have neva service my firman gen 3.5kv the yellow colour type since I bought it in 2019 but I do check the oil whenever it about to go black I will change it. I don't run it overnight but 5hrs mostly ...not much load on it just my double door fridge and tv fans and bulbs, hope am not causing any harm

Just keep changing oil regularly and clean the air filter, no cause to worry.

So sad with this wahala...so much heat now

Have you checked the AC plug if there's a loose connection?

Is AVS a good alternative.

I don't think they serve exactly the same purpose.

This has been an eye-opener... Thank you so much chief. One more question, Nepa doesn't really work with the AC too, the voltage is admittedly poor. The AC runs but the fan on the outdoor unit struggles to roll, when it does, it rolls slowly, so the AC output is subpar. Will a 5,0000 Watts Stab help?/

Yeah, a 5000VA stab should do, though there are limits to how low the voltage will be to even power the stab just like seankafor said.

My sumec firman won't start. The rope is stuck inside or something because it can't pull out.

I just checked the oil and it wss very low almost empty.

Please if I refill the oil will it be OK or has the engine knocked?

Refill the oil first. For the stuck rope, remove the spark plug and try pullng without the spark. If it pulls, then it's possible some amount of oil or fuel found its way to your cylinder. If it's oil, then keep pulling without the spark on to get rid of it.

Exactly... Just the AC o, and a low voltage TV and one bulb.

It is what it is. Same generator can power 1.5HP inverter AC. The power needed to start up many equipment with pumps and compressors is sometimes about 2.5 of the rated power. Your 1.5HP AC for instance may have a power consumption of 1100W and may require 2.5×1200=2750W for start up. If your generator is the Sumec Firman SPG3000 series then its not possible for the gen to survive this because that generator is 3.5KVA max( 2800W max).
Inverter ACs on the other hand don't require such huge amount of starting power and also don't run intermittently like conventional ACs.

When buying a second hand redmi phone from someone, what are the necessary things to check to avoid complications?

Apart from the usual physical checks to ensure everything works fine, ensure the seller logs out of his/her Mi Account.

Thank you chief, for educational purposes, theoretically, how many horsepower does the gen produce (estimate?)

Around 6.5HP.

bolakale30:
Why then is my own 3.5KVA not supporting my 1.5HP regular AC and TV

This is like asking why a 20 litre bucket of oranges does not produce 20 litres of orange juice. 6.5HP is the power (mechanical) produced by the engine. The conversion of that mechanical (motion) power to eletrical power by the coils involve lots of power loss. Some are lost as noise, heat , etc. Even the whole energy from fuel (chemical) is not fully converted to mechanical energy is engines, there are losses. In airplanes for instance, the loss of energy from chemical ( fuel ) to mechanical energy is over 30%.

If you have a deep pocket, search for Liqui Moly 10w-40 or Castrol Magnatec 10w-40 (check Eternal petrol stations). If not, go for Total Classic SAE 40 (check Total petrol stations).
What oil are you currently using?

No need to use that straight oil, SAE 40, Mobil 1 10W-30 should be better, but like you said, deep pocket.

Thanks bro. I loosed the phone and change the battery, it refuse to on. I later put back the old battery. After sometime I press the power button and it started boothing. After boothing I charge it to 40percent and switch it off. Since then I've been trying to on it but it's not coming up.
I'm just crying. It's my life savings I used in buying this phone Pls help me for solution.

Life savings ke? Have you tried charging the phone again? Tried to get into recovery mode and fastboot modes?

Please what charger can I use to replace the original follow come charger of my Redmi note 10.
I lost my charger 2days ago, now my phone has shutdown. I bought some a charger from market but it has refused to power on after trying for several minutes, with other chargers too.

Allow the phone to charge for long, you can borrow from someone. It will take long for your phone to come on because battery is totally drained. You can contact jboixxx for a good charger if you can't get one around you.

I adjusted that screw under the tank and the black plastic screw on the carburetor. Hope I haven't done anything wrong. When I increased the speed, the noise increased, is it safe?

You should have left the screw on the cab. Its normal for noise to increase when speed is increased. You did not state the voltage on the generator.

Thank you but can you or someone recommend a very good product that can carry Ac, freezer, Frigde and television comfortable with 3.5kva

Sumec Firman or Thermocool. What's the power of the AC in horse power? 3.5 kva will suffer if your AC is not inverter type

Please, my thermocool bobo output fluctuates/slightly unstable and the noise is quite much, what is the solution? Tried reducing engine speed but once I put load on it, it vibrates harder.

If you reduce the speed too low, then there will be vibrations and instability. For the noise, how often do you change oil?

Hi guys
Please it’s there any generator that does not make much noise, it’s not diesel generator but petrol generator .
Please I need a guide to get a good generator that does not make noise.
Thanks

What you seek is inverter generators not sold here. Most of them have low noise because of their bodies are padded. They also use smaller engines and run on varying speeds depending on the load.
As long as you are in Nigeria, you can not avoid the noise in petrol generators and know that the bigger the generator the bigger the engine and the louder the noise tends to be.

Less than 150 or 100 sometimes

That's too low to power the pump. If you decreased the running speed before increase it voltage should be 220-240V.

yes o Buhari effect. Well, thanks for your advice again. They called the Elepaq constant 9 kva 375k.

I think I will try to up my game, add more money, and go for a reliable one boss.

This is what I got from a vendor.

Elepaq - 6.5 KVA, = #189,000
7.5 KVA, = #315,000
9 KVA = #375,000

Sumeic Fireman -
6.5 KVA, = #390,000
7.5 KVA, =#410,000
9 KVA = #425,000

All the KVA ratings quoted sound more like HP( horse power). A typical 6.5HP generator outputs around 3.5KVA for example. It's either the seller is ignorant or he/she is trying to play a fast one on you.
