In this video, I resolve a super common issue with the predator 3500 inverter generator... a very rich running condition which clogs the spark arrestor and fouls plugs rather easily. Not to mention, uses more fuel than it needs.

For my application, it seems a #68 jet did the trick. Plug looked perfect, very slightly on the lean side under a nearly 100% load / 24.5A out of the continuous rated 25A output. This was at 1100ft altitude in Arizona / around 60F. I feel a 72 would be better if the gen was always run at lower altitude.

Most of the time, my gen is at 5-7K feet. While it ran at higher altitudes, it would only start on the run setting and really struggled on the start setting which is technically choke. So I would just start it in the run position but ran super rich. Luckily - it never skipped a beat and kept us powered when we needed it for going on 2 years now! And here in Phoenix at 1100ft, it still ran rich! You could smell it anytime it was running and plug was always black. The case is so well sealed on these... the stock jet just provides too much fuel and my small case mod (holes drilled) did not correct this.

Looking forward to camping season and seeing how the gen runs in the mountains now!

I will also continue to monitor this setup and note any corrections here. If you are at lower altitude / higher temps and such I would recommend a #72 jet. But for now... for me... the #68 was the ticket.

I wanted to make one more note... 2 years of running this gen and letting it sit for weeks to months at a time and the bowl on the carb was spotless! Sta-bil fuel stabilizer for the win! USE IT.
