Fix a Honda EU2000i with a Cheap New Carburetor without Doing ANY Electrical or Wires.

[@fatbiker9815]

It's funny that I stumbled across this video because I did a small rebuild on my carb (main jet, emulsion tube and pilot jet) but the bowl was wrecked with rust patches and junk build up. I kept reading that the amazon carbs wouldn't match the wiring and I wondered if you could just reuse your old servo. I guess you answered that for me. Great video, clear, in focus and to the point. Great job and thanks!!!

[@israelpinchas2896]

Just replace my carburetor. I couldn't do it without your video. Thanks.

[@IOCaneTech]

Awesome news!!!!

[@KurtStevens-yi1jo]

Thanks for the video. Just bought my Honda and the guy said he used once over two years so was selling it. I bet I have to change the carb. Thanks for your help.

[@bradfuqua267]

Thank you so much! I bought an Amazon replacement without knowing the connector would be a problem. This video saved the day!! Running like a champ!

Got me mine back up and running in 30 minutes. Scavenging the solenoid of the old one saved time and worked great. Of course beware of that springy thingy. Thanks!

[@einarreitz3571]

Thank you brother for making a great instructional video. I bought the one off Amazon you had and was trying to figure out the electrical...Swapping over the electrical solenoid was the easiest way just like you described. I also used your starting fluid method for priming the bowl...and my honda eu2000 fired right up just like it was new. Great advise!

[@AmericanWanderers]

Excellent, all the info you need with no fluff

[@davidbuie3316]

This was extremely helpful. I copied you pretty much exactly and my 10-year-old generator now runs again and sounds great. Thanks so much for your help

[@ScottS-g2r]

I appreciated your video. It, definitely helped me understand and work through my problem with connections and wire harness for the change out of the unit. Love the tip on the green light flash, info on the hours used.

[@carlcannedy2669]

Many Many thanks. I have a Kopor generator with the same engine that you have in your Honda EU2000i . And i couldn't find out what kind of engine it had. And thanks again! Now i can fix mine!

[@brucebr1037]

Thanks for this video. I rebuilt the carb on mine, but still hard to start. I will replace as you suggest. I got real nervous watching you remove those small screws over your backyard lawn. One sneeze and you're done for the day.🤧 Git yerself a magnetic parts tray! I keep two because I always have one filled with some project I haven't finished.

[@spikel166]

My carb bowl was rusted up pretty good. Kept jamming up the flow. I'd clean it up and that would work for awhile, but it was time for a new carb. I did the change over just as you demonstrate, but the new carb worked like shit. I wasn't getting output. Tried adjusting idle.....couldn't get r working. Just now went back to the factory carb using the bowl from new carb. Works like a champ. Just wanted to pass that along. This is a great video......the amazon carb, not so much

[@IOCaneTech]

Yeah I mean they are knock off carbs, so it's hit and miss, several people have said they just return it for a new one and the 2nd new one is fine. YMMV

[@spikel166]

And the only reason I replaced the carb was cuz gaskets are $11 or so dollars, and carb is $30 some odd. All I needed was the gasket.

[@jakeowsley6552]

What an awesome video, nice focus, good detail on the servo! Thank you! I am trying to save my client some $$$ and this is perfect.

[@mikeknapick4914]

This worked fabulously on my two machines.

[@bonifoto]

Worked like a charm, thanks for sharing and posting!

[@IOCaneTech]

Love to hear that!! :)

[@bonifoto]

@@IOCaneTech you'll appreciate what happened. I have two Hondas so we can run in parallel. One had a bad carburetor that was clogged, the other runs great. Not paying attention I replaced the good carburetor . I didn't realize my mistake until I was finishing up. So I had to use the carburetor I had just removed to replace the bad one in the other generator. Both generators are now running and your tutorial worked so well it worked for me twice....hahahahah

[@Scoupe17]

Followed the instructions, changed everything out, and had trouble starting. The idle screw needed to be adjusted so that it was more open, if that makes any sense. I watched another video that said to screw in your existing idle screw and count the number of turns, then do the same on the new screw. That seemed to work. I also did the full 100 hour service on it, spark plug, oil, filters at the same time. Once I did everything she started up like new.

[@peterzinia3767]

I'm in the process of swapping my carb as I watch your video. I paid around 70$ for my carb, but it was O.E new in the Box. The spring for the eco-throttle was F'd up & couldn't find anyone that sold the spring.

[@GreasedShadow]

with the help of other KZbinrs I fixed my EY2000. First by cleaning the jet. no go. Then new jets. no go. Then new Carbs from Amazon. th EU200 now running well. I also have a EU2000 Companion. Both showed the hard starting and full choke to run. So everything I did twice. Then I found the Companion carb servo cable connector was different. Back to KZbin and your solution worked perfectly. I only spent around 8 hours doing this including puting carbs in and out and in and out... When I was working I would get $200/hr. so I guess I should have bought new generators. But as a retired engineer, what else do I have to do? Rewrite the software?

[@LarryKapp1]

The jets in the bottom bowl of mine were clean but it still didn't run right. Then I saw a video where there is a plastic part on top of the carb with an orifice ( jet) in it and that one was totally plugged and I couldn't even push a wire through it. I had a small micro drill and drilled it out . After that and spraying everything good with carb cleaner my generator runs fine now. I never would have known about that plastic part at top because only one video of a few I watched showed that part comes out for cleaning.

[@brucebr1037]

I wish you would. That Android generator software is crap. Shoulda spent the extra $ for IOS.

[@BillSikes.]

Beautiful little machines these Honda's 🤙🎉

[@RandyRolles]

I replaced a carb exactly like your video, now it will run with the choke on but fuel is dumping continuously and the air vent has fuel is filling with fuel. This has me baffled.

[@IOCaneTech]

That is a stuck float valve inside the carb, return it for a new one

[@RandyRolles]

@@IOCaneTech will do, thank you

[@tjtj1566]

Love the video mate but why lower the thing out of the view of the camera on arguably the most important step?

[@LarryKapp1]

some of us youtubers aren't pro's and don't notice a bad angle until after the video is already made . And may not going to redo the whole repair and video !

[@garyjones7044]

There is something you can do about e15 and e10 just put your fuel in a clear container add a little bit of water let it sit for a couple of days and the water will separate from the gas taking the ethanol with it and your left with pure gas you can siphon off the top, pretty sure a little bit of extra emissions is better for the environment than tons of prematurely toasted equipment sitting in a land fill.

[@darylrester8383]

Hi wow thank you for the video. We have 3 of these on our charter boats to keep the batteries charged and tired of paying someone to change carbs out (well and he retired). I did my first on yesterday and the genny fires up but only runs at one slow speed and when i press the ECO throttle button now nothing changes. Does that sound like I missed something on the servo or could it be the throttle needle?

[@IOCaneTech]

Not sure. Perhaps your Servo motor IS bad. It's what control the throttle speed and idles up the engine when needed. Ensure that the Servo motor can move easily and is not bound up, and that the spring returns it as needed. That's where I would start. I have seen a few bad carbs, but they usually don't create the issue you are describing.

[@johndistefano2527]

can you explain the spring loading on the servo. my servo has the spring but its not providing any resistance. looking down from above the servo should rotate counterclockwise with the loading? TY

If this helps you, cool deal. With the cover off of course. Exhaust on the Left,control panel to the right the eco-throttle faces between 3&4 o'clock atop the carb. The closest wire is white or tan. 2nd wire is Yellow. 3rd is Red or Pink if the color faded. The 4th wire(furthest back) is Blue. So 1st is the lighest color,2nd is the Yellow or Tan,3rd Red,4th Blue.

Don't waste money on cheap carb. They don't last more than a year.

[@tomb2891]

Anyone know of a reason not to pair the Honda with a predator or Yamaha for increase watt output?

[@LarryKapp1]

They would need to be synced with each other so the sine wave output of the AC is the same . With Honda you can do that with the connecting cables. Not sure if the other can do that or if the sync cables between different brands would be compatible ( my guess is not ).

[@PopcornH3]

I think my servo is bad how do I test it ?

[@IOCaneTech]

And what makes you think that?

[@PopcornH3]

@@IOCaneTech I replaced the carb with a new one and switched my servo to the old one because I don't have the square plug but I still have surging and no power .. if I stick a wood stick in where the servo action is and jam it wide open it runs fine just high and I assume burns more gas.. maybe it's not the servo but I just had it all apart again this morning .. and put back together ... When I get home 🏠 m doing another full teardown might even make a video on my channel for help

[@IOCaneTech]

@@PopcornH3 Yeah if you have surging and no power I would suspect the Servo NOT is the issue. Sounds like the inverter or power generator are toast, and thus no power to the servo.

[@peterzinia3767]

The ethanol should have no harsh affects since the eu2000i is designed to run on fuel that contains ethanol. Did you have any adjusting on the carb?

[@IOCaneTech]

Ethanol is TRASH. They are NOT designed to run on that, but they do. There is no normal engine that has a carb, that should ever run Ethanol. Your Carb is literally open to the air and Ethanol is Extremely Hydroscopic. "A property of ethanol blends are that they are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air, raising the potential for phase separation during storage if the tank is vented to the atmosphere and is subject to condensation formation as a result of temperature change."

[@Brazos50]

Ethanol gas is a carburator killer.I use Ethanol free gas.A tad of Seafoam.Fires right up.

[@IOCaneTech]

Unfortunately we are unable to get ethanol free fuel in CA :(

It doesn't make sense to clean the carburetor anymore. Just get a new cheap one every year.

I see your point but keep the old ones because they may be needed and should be cleaned for back up

[@johnnybee1776]

I have my generator for 12.1/2 years now and I never replaced any parts on it since I bought it. The secret to keeping your generator running good is simple. I run my generator every month for 15 minutes then pack it away until next month. I recently cleaned the carb, the main jet and the nozzle jet and bought a new gas bowl o-ring for the carb. I used carb cleaner and some compressed air and she is running like new. No need to buy a carb every year.

[@LarryKapp1]

@@johnnybee1776 There is another plastic jet on top of carb - the one on mine was plugged and ran great after I cleaned it.

@@johnnybee1776…yes, it takes 5 minutes to clean the carb with cleaner and compressed air. Bowl gasket may need replacement sometimes.
