try googling buffalo tools 7,000 w propane generator manual 7000 kw is a very large unit - 7,000,000 watts

have the voltage regulator system checked in the regulator the voltage controls the amperage allowed and it that unit is not working properly then there will be no current out put that regulator could be part of the control board for the main ac out put and may have developed a fault in the section for 12 volts on the board there is a limit on the charge rate for the battery and if it is exceed it may have damaged that circuit or possible blown a fuse in the amperage circuit

if you cannot get the specs from on line or from a service agent , generally the following apply:- water cooled engines inlet hot .010"--exhaust hot .012" for air cooled engines inlet hot .012"-- exhaust hot .014"

Give us a call when you are with the Generator and we will run through it with you. Call your local office and speak to an engineer: http://www.generatorguru.com/ask-the-guru/ Generator Guru

Make sure the power switch under the clear rubber cover is on. Ifd it is, thenlook for a smoked electronic voltage regulator

Could be lost exciter current. This is how to restore it - Connect 16 or 18 gauge wires to a 12 volt battery. With generator running, insert bare ends of wires into AC outlet - one to Hot, the other to Neutral. Insert and remove quickly. There should be a flash and power will be restored. If not, repeat until you get that flash and output current restored. Using light gauge wires is so that if you are too slow to remove them once AC is restored. they will burn out before the battery suffers from the AC incoming. Be quick and be careful.

The switch is probably generic.. go to a Lighting store and see if they have equivalent

find out who manufactured the engine... if it's a honda knock off a honda recoil might work and you can get an after market one for cheap... like $30 USD or something close

Assuming the speed is correct check the voltage on the rotor brushes during running (Caution) It should be DC. If you have low or no DC voltage then the capacitor in the end of the generator housing is bad, or the AVR. If you do have voltage then make sure the slip rings are clean and shiny, from there you may have a rotor or stator issue that needs carefull resisitance check

Check the rotor rings for cleanliness, they should be shiny, check the brushes and the capacitor, located in the end of the alternator bell housing cover

Post make, model and serial number from frame of unit and I can help. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/layne_0fccff498c319c32

The breaker itself is worn and weak. Replace it.

wet plugs,exceeding max load of circut,whatever it is running has a short in it.

If you can't get any info from the retailer as to repairers for you machine then check out other gen sets as most run generic carbys on the engines.

HOPE THIS LINK WORKS. http://www.buffalotools.com/manuals/gen154manual.pdf it is the Gen you got, I have same.. Condenser failed after 7 yrs. Just suddenly stopped putting out. Kept running nicely though!

That is the fun part! You have to leave the handle end free, as in no handle on it, put a good knot in one end of your new pull cord, feed it through the hole in the pulley, feeding it out so you can pull it back into the space where the pulley is. Should be a slot on the pulley to bring it up in. Wind pulley against spring, same direction as normally pulled when starting, will need three to six rounds, can't tell how many cause it varies. Stick cord out hole to where handle should be while keeping tension on spring so you don't lose it. Tie handle on and try it. You may have to adjust rounds against spring and length of cord until you get it right. Good luck!

1. Check the power supply.

2. Check the water supply.

3. Inspect all hoses.

4. Take a look at the inlet valve.

5. Check the intake filter.

6. Inspect the nozzle.

7. Inspect the gun.

8. Check the power pump, unloader, regulator, and other valves.

Diagnosis takes this order because the things at the top of the list are more common and much easier to check. That's the good news when it comes to looking over your pressure washer. Most pressure and other performance issues will be caused by something small and simple like a clogged nozzle.

Even components like regulators and unloaders are fairly simple to replace, and can be done by confident workmen an homeowners. Once problems boil down to a power pump issue, it's usually best that the pressure washer see a shop.

Because the problems of and solutions to symptoms are so varied, we just list them below without any particular order, although we list the most common symptoms and causes first.

Honda Parts.

CALL me ***************** i will tell you how it goes THANKS

There have been several factories in china that have made the motors used on buffalo generators, a couple of these are Lifan and J.D. as in Jiangdong.All of these motors are very similar to honda motors.The 6.5,13,and 15 h.p. motors are real brutes and hold up very well.

call buffalo tool parts dept.they have brand new tanks for $36.75 or if you need a petcock they cost $9.95 they also have the gas gauge for $9.60.call 1-800-568-6657
