Servicing My Honda EU2000i Inverter Generator on Jurgen's Journeys

[@NewHorizons2020]

That was a good informative video. I would have never thought about poking a small hole and inserting a straw. That's quite clever. I can't wait to meet everyone in Mount Airy. Along with everyone else. It will be so much fun sitting around and swapping stories and tips and tricks. Plus seeing all the history of Mount Airy.

[@JurgensJourneys]

Same here! It should be great fun. Thanks for watching, Susan.

[@JC.Journey]

We enjoyed this great How-To video! We have this same generator so we appreciate all the helpful tips. Your beans sure look delicious! Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@JurgensJourneys]

You're most welcome. Hope It is of some help. Yes, wish I could share the beans too, lol.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We have had an eu2000 for about 20 years, picked it up when hurricane took out our power. Still runs like a top. I run it for 15 min 3-4 times a year to keep it running good, yearly maintenance is just an oil change. I ALWAYS keep Sta-Bil in the gas tank because ours sits a lot. I have never even looked at our spark arrestor , I will have to do a video on ours. Great job with this video, camera on a tripod gives clear focused video, audio was clear and clean with just the right amount of background music.

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thank you for watching and the detailed comment. Do you use ethanol free gasoline? I do and was wondering if I still need to use Sta-Bil. I have always added it to regular gas in small engines, but started using the non-ethanol in my Honda.

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

I can now see why everyone went on with the beans. You are a man of many talents. Very cool demo on the process for the generator. You know your stuff on that as well. Thank you for the great information.

[@JurgensJourneys]

The beans where a bigger hit than the generator LOL I think I'll do one just on cooking beans. I have done my own small engine maintenance for quite a while, but still turn to KZbin for help at times. It's a great way to share our knowledge too. Your videos are very helpful too, especially the product reviews. Thanks for watching. I know you're very busy. Take care, my friend.

[@Leigh_Belula]

Very easy to follow demonstration. Even someone (me) with no real understanding of mechanics can now service her generator! 😻 Time to go eat!

[@JurgensJourneys]

Have fun saving money by doing it yourself. Enjoy your meal and thanks for watching!

[@EndlessRVing]

Very helpful and that meal looks amazing! Kisses to Rottenbear. 😀- MJ

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thank's MJ. I will blow the bear a kiss for you, lol, and I'll pass on the compliment to Sue.

[@WanderLost]

I don’t have a generator, but I’m saving this video for when we do! Those beans look awesome! Have a great weekend and stay warm!

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thank you! We have been staying nice and warm, and the last few days we have not even needed the stove in the shop because the temps have been near 60 with lots of sunshine. But those beans where good on a cold day after smelling them cook. You have a great weekend too!

[@earlhulse7480]

Enjoyed the video. I believe that I could actually smell the beans. Looks like we are going to have beans and cornbread today!!!

[@JurgensJourneys]

I'm coming over to you house then. Haha! You have a great day and enjoy your beans like I did.

[@Goodtimecampin]

I have never seen the straw in the oil hack before, I will be trying that one for sure. Those beans and cornbread look good. Thanks for sharing another great video.

[@JurgensJourneys]

That straw trick is a little slow, but works good for such a small amount of oil. I love the beans on a cold day like that. I appreciate the comment and your watching.

[@BlackberryHillHouse]

Thank you so much for doing this video and giving us such a thorough look at how to take care of a generator. I know NOTHING about these things other than we're going to need one soon. This has helped so much. We're going to stick around and check out your other great videos!

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thank you. I haven't done very many "how to's" but this one was fun to do. I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. I will be back to your channel very soon. Do you use a generator?

[@explorer867]

Honda makes a great generator. I have the Yamaha 2000i and love it. These generators are very quiet and if serviced regularly will last years. Good video Jurgen! Give Rottenbear some love from us.

[@JurgensJourneys]

These Japanese products are much better than the Chinese knock-offs, I think. The Bear always appreciates the love!

[@LivingTheGoodLifeRving]

Hey Jurgen great video was hoping to see you adjust the spark plug now I know how to change the oil thanks for sharing

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thank you for watching. The spark plugs are always preset when you buy them, but if they do need adjusting, you simply tap lightly on the end to close the gap, or spread the gap with the little spreader that come on the feeler gauge. I'm sorry, I could have demonstrated that, but most parts stores can show you how that is done.

[@JUSTINANDCHRISTINA]

Thanks for showing us how to service a generator and for showing us Rottenbear..😀👍

[@JurgensJourneys]

You are most welcome, and I appreciate you leaving me a comment.

[@RoyandBeckysTravels]

Haven't had to service ours just yet with only 4 hours of service on it. We have the Predator 3500. When I work in my garage during the winter I will use the wood stove to cook on too or keep the coffee hot. It's a free heat source and I don't have to buy wood as I get all the wood I need for free. I'd keep a old oil cap around and epoxy a straw to it just in case.

[@JurgensJourneys]

I love wood heat and have heated my shop that way for years. Nothing better for cheap heat. Thanks for watching.

[@Toonstead]

Juergen, a man of so many talents!! Thank you for the video my friend. I like the Honda generator. Blessings friend

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thanks. You should see my drawing skill Lol. I just bought the Honda used, a couple years ago, and I have not been disappointed.

[@Toonstead]

Cool..that is great!

[@maryjones6470]

That was pretty neat to watch..the beans looked so. Good 👍

[@JurgensJourneys]

Oh they were, especially on a cold day. Thank you for watching!

[@BluWaveOdyssey]

I've always changed the oil with a cold engine. But, it makes total sense to warm it up first, that thins the oil a bit. Great tip. We have 6 hours on our inverter and that was testing it for a day to see what it could handle, as far as the load goes. Good video. Thank for sharing.

[@777cretbo]

You probably have a 2nd pot of coffee going by now

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thanks for watching, Bob. I bought mine used, but it had been well maintained, and has been a good one.

[@BluWaveOdyssey]

LOL, it's a rainy day here Southwest Florida. I'm definitely downing some coffee today. :)

[@777cretbo]

Thanks for sharing .... planning in the future to get the same exact generator. Thanks for a super thorough description of the maintenance. Let me know when you have a garage sale as you take wonderful care of your stuff!! Love that red straw trick!! Happy new year to you and Sue!!

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thank you so much! I bought mine used through a Facebook add. I was half the price of a new one and has been great for our camping needs, and for around the house too. You have a great new year too, my friend.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

Excellent video Jurgen! Both entertaining and informative. What a useful video for Honda Generator owners.

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thank you. I do hope someone finds it useful, since there are a lot of these Hondas out there. I appreciate your kind comment.

[@LuckyDawgProductions]

Very informative video, Jurgen. Appreciate it. Your beans and cornbread looked good! Hi to Rottenbear and Sue.

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thank you Sir! I will pass along your greetings and I appreciate your kind comment.

[@TravelingonAdventures]

Super Simple!

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thanks! Honda makes a great product. Easy to service.

[@BluWaveOdyssey]

Hi Sue! :)

[@JurgensJourneys]

I will pass that on. Thanks Bob.

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thank you James. It is good when we can save money by doing these things ourselves. You have a great new year too, my friend.

[@proceedingonwardinamerica]

Thanks for a reminder that we need to do ours as well! Enjoy those beans!!

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thanks, I did enjoy them, after smelling them cook out there. It made me quite hungry!

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Lovely video, a really nice generator and a great how to video, thanks for sharing. Happy NewYear

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thank you for your kind comment. Best wishes to you too.

[@KeepOnRvn]

Similar principles to servicing our onboard generator. Thanks for good info.

[@JurgensJourneys]

I imagine these steps apply to most gas engines. It's time I do my mowers too, since I still have my sticks and bricks. Best of luck selling your farmhouse and have a great 2020!

[@wallygatar]

Nicely done, guess I better get to servicing mine now. lol

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thanks! Yes, you’ll be glad you did 😂

[@JoeGiz64]

Best tune up video I’ve seen...thank you sir.

[@JurgensJourneys]

Well, I thank you sir!

[@MonaMarinelli]

Great video. Easy to follow for me , a beginner. Thank you, & God bless you !

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thank you so much. I’m glad that the video was helpful.

[@staceyforrest364]

A great and thorough tutorial, Jurgen! I feel confident if we ever get (need?) a generator I can maintain it. The straw and epoxied nickel hack were brilliant! Your workshop sure looks like a cozy place to retreat to...I'm sure RB would agree! Wonderful video! Safe travels and a prosperous, healthy and Happy New Year, young man ~ 💜

[@JurgensJourneys]

Well, thank you young lady! I do love my workshop. I made my living out there for over 20 years, and in the winter I would smell beans, or chili, or lentil soup cooking while I did my woodwork. That is where Mr Rottenbear grew up. He spent all his time with me. Thank you for the kind wishes and I do wish the same for you.

[@claycelblogthefarmerfamily]

COOL GENERATOR ITS GOOD TO SERVICE YOUR OWN STUFF

[@JurgensJourneys]

Thanks. Yes, it does save time (maybe) and money (for sure).

[@claycelblogthefarmerfamily]

@@JurgensJourneys money for sure hahaha

[@JurgensJourneys]
