🏭🧯🔦Honda EU2000i Propane Upgrade (2019)🥉

Published 2019-06-07
A propane upgrade kit can be installed in an evening allowing your existing gas generator to run on gas, propane or natural gas (trifuel). I used a kit from Hutch Mountain that had all the necessary items.

Install starts at 10:35

Kit available at Amazon: amzn.to/2WxziFg
or eBay ebay.to/2EY4QZO

    WOW! Fantastic job on the conversion & video. We are always humbled when random strangers are genuinely excited about our propane conversions. It is what motivates us to do what we do! 👍 Hit us up if you have any questions. We are here to help! - Hutch Mountain - HutchMountain.com BTW the 1st of your video was hilarious. Pulling your arm off because of a clogged carburetor from bad gasoline can be beneficial… For a free workout program!
  • @RLeeErmy
    I've never thought about converting my eu3000i. Maybe it's time to consider 🤔 Thanks for the video.
  • @mlangfordcamper
    This would be perfect for my home made camper thanks for the info
  • Get a large cheapo (HD/Lowes/Harbor Freight) tool box for all the accessories for your gen. I keep the regulator/hose and oil, drain kit, spare spark plugs/fuel filter. Spare socket set and multi-bit screwdriver. This way when you take the gen somewhere you have kit to repair and maintain the gen. ALSO, get an inductive hour meter ($10) to keep track of the time on the gen so you know when you need to change the oil. BTW, I bot a 2200i and installed the Hutch kit back in 2018----so nice to never have to worry about gas going bad. I have 4 propane tanks--just in case. Also, since I primarily use this for emergencies (outages) I have a 10/3 extension cord(50 ft) so the gen is safely away from the house AND the extension cord is heavy enough to properly carry current to my fridge(energy star) and window a/c (energy star)---yes both work with my 2200i, even at peak usage for both.

    "Releasable Zip Ties" Home Despot sometimes carries them. There are some nice ones that are about a quarter inch wide and have a push button-ish lever that you press to release. Nice build!
  • if that kit has a flow control adjustment put the generator under full load and close the flow control down till it stumbles down then open till it smooths back up. That will insure no propane is wasted I have a conversion kit for a 6500 watt but adjusted the flow down to about 2000 watts. I get about 16+ hours on a 40lbs tank
  • I’m not sure if it’s true but I’ve heard carbon can build up on the intake valve from the lack of cleaning effect of gasoline going over it. Simple fix is just occasionally run gas in it which I think would be a good idea anyway just to make sure EVERYTHING is working properly.
  • @wilbertog58
    Hi, Glad that you mentioned those videos where the persons created a time bomb, and yo showed the right way to do it. I have a Predator from Harbor Freight, can I convert that one into a propane one too? Thanks
  • @ezralord4901
    Awesome video. I am going to contact Hutch Mountain and ask if I can use this on my 1000W Honda Generator. everything looks the same, I think it is the same carburetor.
  • Thank you very much for the video. Is this immediately ready to disconnect from propane and hook to natural gas? Also, what is life expectancy of the generator with natural gas compared to gasoline or propane?
  • @emblems4life726
    Better way...sure, you might want to turn on the choke first. About to watch the rest of your video but I couldn’t resist after watching the winded hug of the generator when it wouldn’t start.
  • @udavidism
    One short half-second blast of starting fluid on the outside of the air cleaner cover will start almost all small engines on the first pull.
  • What about using one of your “ball bungees” to attach the hose to the handle?
  • @dj5752
    Great Video. Thanks. I noticed you drilled 2 holes. One seemed to be use to hook up an electrical pair of wire. Could you explain what that was for? Thanks. I saw another video showing this install using the same Hutch Mountain kit and did not see this step.
  • I wonder how long the generator will run on one full propane tank . I have the same unit. I thinks it runs 8 hrs on full gas tank.
  • @mrviper100
    What is the part number and model of the small regular? Where does the jet that was in the o-ring container get installed?
  • Anyone know if the performance changes in cold weather, my primary use is ice fishing in northern Minnesota.
