A tutorial by Jeff's Little Engine Service on How To Repair 2 different Honda EU2000i GENERATOR that won't start or run after STORAGE. Or runs with the CHOKE ON only. HOW TO FIX it the EASY WAY. Repair it with the CARBURETOR still on the machine! Fails to start after sitting only a few months. This GENERATOR was in very good condition so an obstructed FUEL SYSTEM is most likely to blame (Ethanol) fuel problem. Remove float bowl , Clean the carburetor and fix the problem. An Experienced mechanic zeros in on the problem and fixes it easily. Dirty and or plugged CARBURETOR main jet plugged. Clean Float bowl. Change spark plug and oil. DOES Vinegar work to clean the rusty carb?
ETHANOL IS BAD!

A quiet Generater.Systems , love the dual fuel capabilities, camper is 50 amp but the adapter helps and found it still handles the load. Haven't taken a camping trip yet, that's in a couple of weeks. Will see how well it does over a long weekend.

We have used the youtube.com/post/UgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQL… for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

Thanks for this excellent tutorial. In my case the main jet had become blocked and even the throttle butterfly valve had become stuck with gunk on top of all the rubbish in the float bowl and the fuel tank needed a big clean out too!! Had to strip the whole carby clean, etc. Put back together and purring like a cat!! Mike, Australia.

Thanks for the instructable. I need to do this to two generators that I have. This is a great help for a non-mechanic like me.

Great video, and a big thanks for the close in camera shots. Most people won't go to the trouble of doing those close in shots, but it makes all the difference when you do. Good job

You do good work and explain your procedures well. Many thanks from Ohio. Ethanol is the enemy of small engines. I avoid it "like the plague."
