Michael, The Honda does not sync up to the inverter. The inverter really doesn't know that it's being supplied by a generator or shore power. Unlike portable...
Don, I think you would have two limiting factors in my setup. One is the size of the inverter being large enough to handle the startup load. the second being...
Well this has been interesting. Wanted to tell you about one person I know of that does run his AC on batteries. This fellow built a custom toy hauler and...
... and tied into the same AC circuits as the EU2000i, 120VAC to 120VAC? Do you turn on the inverter first, then turn on the EU2000i? I have wondered if the...
Here is a link to the inverter/charger that will supplement a generator for start up loads, and slowly charge the battery as loads permit. If I didn't already...
Thanks for that link. http://shop.pkys.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=800 Although pricey, it would be a perfect addition for an off-grid solar/ ...
I was inspired by the forum's logo/photo to built a generator carrier for my Sprinter van. I just uploaded some photos in case someone is interested. This...
Hello all, My genset won't start and I figure the carb needs a good cleaning. Not too difficult but I have a question. After removing the main jet I next...
... I believe the main jet is the piece on the bottom with a number and a precise hole in it. It determines the maximum amount of fuel at wide open throttle....
Hello, This email message is a notification to let you know that a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the Honda_EU2000_Generators group. File :...
I've checked the web and can't find an answer to my question so I thought I'd try the group. The choke switch/lever is stuck. I took off the air fliter and...
John, The choke mechanism is really quite simple. About the only way I could imagine the choke lever being frozen as you describe would be if something was...
How far apart did you take it? Did you disassemble the choke plate itself? Check for surface irregularities that might have been caused by shaft removals,...
I took off the air filter but didn't get into the "guts" of the carb. There was no prying or anything to expand/distort the plastic. Nothing is caught in...
Hello: I have purchased a eu2000i a month ago for a long trip out west in July and August. What should I do to make the GEN ready other than what the Owners...
I have found that it is best to run the units at least once a month (or so). If I let them set for more than about 6 weeks, they become very difficult to...
... Run it with a load on it. Generators hate being ignored. Put a load on it with something like an electric heater. Run it for 20 minutes or every three...
Make sure the gas is treated with fuel stabilizer. Store it with the valves closed, and the fuel cap in the "Off" position. Â Â Peter ... From: John and Jan...
The valves are closed when you come up against the compression resistance as you slowly pull the starter cord. Fresh gasoline is critical. The highly volatile...
... Everyone's suggestions are very good. In addition, i would run the unit under load for 5 or 10 hours and change the oil. this way, you will not be looking...
... If is hasn't already been mentioned, it's a good idea to *always* drain the carburetor float bowl after shut down if you don't plan on running the...
Paul, I think the OP was saying that he wanted to adjust the idle at the low end, not the maximum rpm. Of course, I realize that the answer (no) may remain ...
... Robert, You're correct... there's no way to adjust engine rpm for either the ECO or non-ECO settings as engine speed is electronically controlled at all...
Even if you could adjust the idle speed I suspect it's the inverter that is rated at 2,000 watts, it's an electronic device with limits. There's also a...
