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!

There is nothing else on-line better than this video explaining how to clean the 2000i carburetor. Great job 👏🏽!
-
Great video. Mine was also only running with the choke on. Bought some new gaskets, cleaned it all according to your video and it started right up👍 I was so happy to find your video after a note was left on my door late last night, that my power would be off for the day due to a elec. pole exchange. I couldn’t find anyone that could clean the carb today, so I did it myself. Now I can run my fridge tomorrow. Not bad for a 67 yo woman! Thank you

Holy smokes, this young man's video is fantastic. Step by step, clear illustrations, clear instructions. I've never cleaned out a carburetor before, never taken one apart. I was able to do it, at my slow pace, within an hour. Make sure you have the carburetor gaskets, kit, et cetera because mine had to be replaced for sure. I can not thank this guy enough. Absolutely amazing.

For those who don't know, the long tube is under the main jet screw. Tap on the side of the carb extension you removed the screw from with a screwdriver handle and it will fall out.

Kinda helpful video...obviously the mechanic is very knowledgeable about this generator. The camera operator on the other hand...whew! Maybe if they stood further back we could see the factory in Japan. We can’t see through fingers, and we can’t see the removal of the jets, arguably the most important step. Also, zipped by the exact location to aim carb cleaner at the carb. Between squinting to see the tiny carb in hand and trying for x-ray vision to see through fingers and arms...er....

I hadn't ran my generator in 4 years. Couldn't get it started. Followed this video and it started right up! Thanks!
-
I learned an important lesson, spend plenty of time with the carb cleaner, particularly with the 4 openings in the body of the carb. It took a number of cleanings to get those as clean as needed. Great video very helpful
-
Well done. Followed you step by step. Was having throttle control issues with my choke. Your video helped perfectly. Generator is running exactly like it should. Thanks for posting the education!
-
Thank you so much for posting this. I put everything back together and had to take it apart to clean the jet. After I did this, it works like a champ!
-
Thank you so very much. I had bought this generator and after just 15 hours use, stored it away. Just 3 months later, the Honda EU2000i would not start. Everyone here wants hundreds to fix this generator but no one was able to even look at mine in a timely manner. Thanks to this video, I managed to clean the varnish from my Carb and it is working great again.
-
Saved me a ton of money doing this myself, and it was even fun. My first carb job. Still might have to replace the main jet as the choke needs to be on but that will be easy now!
-
Great post!! Very well filmed with good information. Thanks for taking the time to share.
-
Thank you for this post. I am a very reluctant mechanic, and this is a very thorough explanation. Everything went as you described. I had a clogged jet. After reassembly, it started first pull.
-
Excellent video...thanks. My 2000i only runs with choke wide open so I'll be doing the carb this weekend!
-
Awesome instructions, thank you! I am a total mechanical moron and you made this look so easy and explained each piece so well it gave me enough confidence I was able to clean up the carb on my unit that had sat for two years. I put it back together and it started on the second pull and runs better than it ever did before. Thanks for the tip in the comments about removing the jet tube as well, I had to ease it out with a screwdriver as suggested.
-
Thank you! This is the most helpful video ever. I was able to get my generator running again!
-
Used this video to clean the carb on my 3000is. Very similar takedown. The holes on my jet were all clogged. Used a sewing needle to push out the varnish on the tiny holes. Runs like a champ!
-
This a a great video. I fixed the idle surge in just 10 mins. Thank you for your time!!!

Missing the spring on top of carburator, we didn't show that part... Weldone
