    How to adjust governor screw in Buffalo Tools Portable Generator?
    • G
      gmitchellAug 21, 2025
      To adjust the governor screw on your Buffalo Tools Portable Generator: Plug in voltmeter on VAC. See what the volts are. The reading should be 110 to 120. If it is too high or too low, adjust the governor screw, which is located above the pull start (on the green metal shroud). Turn it clockwise to turn volts up and kick the idle up. You may have to compensate for the increased idle from the governor screw with the idle screw.

    What if carburetor is gummed up in Buffalo Tools GEN2000?
    • A
      Alejandro GutierrezAug 26, 2025
      If the carburetor in your Buffalo Tools Portable Generator is gummed up, which can happen if the generator sits for a long time, remove the air box cover and air filter. Remove the two 10mm nuts holding the carburetor. Lift up on the throttle linkage on top of the carburetor to pop it off, then pull off the fuel line. Slide the carburetor off, turn it upside down, and remove the 10mm bolt on the bottom of the bowl. Remove the pin holding the float and pull the float up. Inspect the float needle, ensuring the orifice isn't gummed up. Remove the rubber gasket and clean the orifice with carb cleaner, avoiding spraying the cleaner on the float needle or any rubber.
