You have a power generator, and the engine works, but all of a sudden it just stops producing electricity. If we're in that situation, then this is a video for you. If you have one power generator, you have none.^[1] If you have two, you have one. That should be the common rule, because they're gonna break down. This happened to my power generator, this one. And thankfully, I had a backup, but shortly after, it happened to this one too. And I would argue that unless you have some industrial quality diesel power generator, it's gonna happen to you too, one day. Because these things aren't really made to last. They're made so that we buy them. And what happened when this broke down is that I went to some tractor shop nearby where they sell these things, and I asked them, well, what's wrong with it? Can you fix it? And they said that, oh, it's not worth fixing. It'll cost more to just find out what is the problem than it will cost to actually buy a new one. They argued that I should buy a new one instead. They didn't have this model, though. Their model cost about seven, almost 800 euros, and that was without taxes. So it actually would cost me 1,000 euros.^[2] And I thought that I don't like it. So I went home, did some Googling, actually my wife did some Googling, and I found out^[3] that it's quite common for generators to have that problem. The engine keeps working, but all of a sudden they stop producing power. This thing is a different technology. It's an inverter, and when they break down, I don't know what to do with it. I didn't find anything online. My wife didn't find anything online. And I consider this a lost thing. It's just too high-tech to fix on your own. If I'm wrong and you know better, let me know in the comment field below. I have two problems with mine, though. Right after it stopped working, it also started leaking gasoline, so I first have to fix that. This tube was leaking, and it seems to be fine, but I'm gonna replace it anyway, because I have extra tubes. I need to. I have Russian cars. The gas tube was held together by these, which shows that they have used the cheapest possible solution that is definitely not going to last. I'm going to try and replace them with something like this, or attach the tube with something like this instead.^[4] When you have that problem, that the engine works just fine, and it just stops producing electricity, you probably have one little piece that is broken inside. And these pieces, you can order them from China, in fact you have to order them from China, because our capitalist leaders, they were so greedy, and they were so keen on this continued progress, even though they saw it was destructive, that they moved all the production of rare metals to China, so that they could mess up their agriculture or their land instead. They stopped doing it in Europe and the USA in the 80s, because they saw how catastrophic it was for the environment. But they wanted to make money, they wanted their progress, so they just booted to China. And now China controls all 98% of the rare metal production from rare earth, and therefore you can't have your job back by the way, because no matter what our politicians do, China has all the rare metals, and you need rare metals to produce pretty much everything today, including electrical engines, and including these pieces, and if you can buy them from^[5] your local store instead, it's because they purchased it from China. China has us by the balls, thank you capitalists, thank you baby boomers. But back to the point. This little piece, instead of buying a new power generator for a thousand euro, I purchased^[6] this from China for eight euro. I'm gonna replace this part and see if it actually works.^[7] Gonna start off by opening up here with my tools made in China, because we probably can't make that either anymore, because we don't have rare metals.^[8] Thank you boomers. You did so great, really, thought about the consequences of your extreme consumerism and comfort level.^[9] So when you open up this, you found this little box, and you have to replace this, and when you do, it'll work again. Of course you need to have one that is in the same kilowatt range, I think mine is from two to three thousand, and we'll see if it works. Yellow on that side, well, the one with the yellow thingy. Okay, we'll see if it actually works. I'm going to refill the fuel tank using this little pump that is of course made in China. Good luck getting your job back in the USA, you voted for Trump, right? Well he's not gonna get your job back, because China has USA by the balls, and you're not able to produce anything at all, almost. You even sold the patents of your stuff to China, or some capitalist asshole did, and now you don't have shit, you can't produce shit, China has you buy the cojones.^[10][11][12] First of all, I'm going to see if I can get this thing started.^[13] It's made in China!^{[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]} Everything is made in China. And no politician is going to change that, because they have the rare earth production. No matter who gets into power here, we're not going to get our jobs back. We need to change our societies instead, to live a simpler life. Thanks for watching. Even China is running out though, and they get most of their rare earth from North Korea, because THEY still have A LOT....

1. How to Fix your Power generator for < 10 Bucks
2. Mine cost me about 300 EUROs...
3. ... from my wife...
4. Urah!
5. Especially anything electronic or high tech...
6. Or even 300...
7. 8 + 2 for delivery...
8. We need rare metals to make the machines that make the tools...
9. Look how happy they are!
10. You can't even bomb the crap out of them and take their shit D&D style...
11. Because all the high teck stuff in your armoury has components that can only be MADE IN CHINA.
12. Good work Baby Boomers!
13. I just changed the fuel tube, so this is not going to be a smooth and quick start...
14. Dad, what was it you changed?
15. This small part.
16. What is it for? I have no idea...
17. Marie... can you explain to us what this part is doing?
18. It's an AVT (Automatic Voltage Regulator)
19. You find out what kind of power generator you have (in terms of KW)
20. We have one with 2800W.
21. So we purchased (an AVT) that is from 2 to 3 KW.
22. Yes, i fixed this with some background activities going on. Thankfully i have a wife that works fine. Made in France.
23. Well... everything high tech, that is...
