Great Video... Thanks for sharing. I have two Honda eu2000i's, both quit running this year, no spark. I just started the tear down last night on the 2006 with 6700hrs. next will be the 2004 with 8733hrs.
Thanks for the vid. Few things infuriate me more than banjo music, stupid graphics, 8th-grade experimentation with a software program and sitting 5 minutes into a video before the author gets to the point. You were spot-on, providing information which is what I come here for.....thanks again.
Awesome video. Just got my EU2000 and joined the online group. Found a link to this video and I'm wonderfully impressed at the reliability of these little generators. Someday if the Honda engine in my genset or Honda-powered lawnmower or Honda-powered pressure washer needs attention I may try some of this instead of tossing them in the dumpster.
Thanks a ton fixbreakrepeat for the vid. All the vids on belt replace.. let’s just say you made it far less intimidating so I just did it, lol. Be cool, freezerburn
Found your video very helpful & interesting. I was looking at the shop manual to better understand how it works & saw the following on the bottom of page 10-8 together with a drawing: "Set the timing belt on the timing belt drive pulley so that the marks on the timing belt is visible as shown". The word "Honda' appears upside down in the drawing. It is not clear why they say to do it this way, but after reading your very informative video thought I'd add this in.
For what its worth, the Honda EU2000i service manual specifies that the timing belt should be installed with the printed "HONDA" on it facing in a specific direction. It is apparently unidirectional, not something I expected.
Good job on that. I enjoyed it. ¿Is there an e-ring on the floating pin that the timing sprocket spins on? ¿Do the valves require adjustment after every so many hours? ¿Are the valve guides easily replaced, in the case of wear/oil smoking? (I have the exact same Skil power battery wrench :-). God Bless.
That's the governor gear, not the oil slinger.Too much plastic and rubber in these Honda engines. The pushrod Yamaha engine design uses an all metal camshaft with a metal gear cam drive and a really solid rocker arm design on conventional rocker arm shafts. Thanks for the video, though and for the peek inside this plastic Honda engine. Good luck with it!
@@ifyoudisagreeyouarewrong In the Honda Shop manual for the EU2000i and the EU2000i Companion Generator manual that incorporates Y and Z supplements, Tenth edition. Go to page 10-8, bottom illustration shows how to properly set up the timing belt. If need be, drop me an email i'll take a picture of that page for you.
Great informative video. I have a question. I need to replace my bottom plate on my eu2000i because the plastic is very brittle and broke. Is the only thing holding the motor assembly just that pivoting mount? Thanks in advance.
You inspired me to overhauled mine. Great video! Seems a piston rod bolt gave up and was flying around the oil sump which trashed the piston and governor? Symptom was heavy smoke. Not bad for part prices @ Partstree.com but effort was twice the prediction time.
Yes. The design has not changed. The belt will last for a VERY LONG time. Unless your using this genny everyday, you'll probably never need to change it.
next time you drain the oil out of yours, shine a flashlight in the drain hole and you'll see the white "governor". rotate the engine with the pull cord and you'll be able to see the whole thing as it spins.
I wonder if you could take the foot bolt off and replace it with an all-thread rod and use this to bolt it onto something permanent. I could bolt it to my deck and use this as theft deterrent. I do not think many thieves carry a socket set with them.Does anybody have any ideas about this conjecture?
Why, just why a oil running belt? In many car engines (Ford and PSA) this things dilute themselfes. The Honda generator EU 10i has a timing chain, which can't fall apart.
My Honda EU 2000 I intake valve is stuck and will not go up or down unless I physically take a pair pliers and try to push it up and down can someone suggest me how to fix this problem thank you.
FixBreakRepeat thanks. I may have the wrong way. The whole bottom black plate that the feet mount to. Do I need to tear the whole gen a part to replace the bottom?
I think extended oil change intervals contribute to this. Honda says every 100hrs, but without an hour meter, no one can tell just how much they've used it. I change mine every 25 hours, and have an hour meter installed.
I use an hour meter and change the oil every 100 hours. I think they should have used a steel or iron cam lobe. I'm guessing cast plastic is cheaper. I'm no engineer but I have a feeling the wear has little affect on performance because of the geometry of the lobe.
Interesting video however a bit inaccurate.. the "oil slinger" is actually the metal extension off the bottom of the connecting rod.. what you are actually replacing is the governor holder. the paddles govern engine by going through the oil instead of using weights. Just FYI
Chris Brindle No disrespect to WCW on his great video, but you know your stuff. Is the valve clearance in inches or mm. It's an issue I've seen a few times on different threads, and I thought I had conclusive info that it is metric.Now again, clarity can also be an enemy. Thanks for the correction and any info you might provide.
Tim Dunk No reason to do rings or anything else. It still ran well, didn't smoke, and even though the cam sprocket had wear, it was still within spec. I just figured it was a good time to replace the $16 part.
+WestCoastWetbikes I'm fixing one a work and I'm going to replace the governor, timing belt and cam sprocket. The cam sprocket is worn, timing belt broke and the governor was in pieces like the one in the video.
Why the heck they are using an overhead cam with a timing belt is beyond me, I understand the greater efficiency of an overhead cam design as far as power, etc. But c'mon this is a small engine and more importantly a generator which means you need it to be RELIABLE, reliable means SIMPLE. A simple overhead valve design actuated by pushrods where the cam is gear driven off the crank is so much more reliable.
I would NOT have any of these honda engines with a timing belt. I understand the belt may last for a long time but when your in the dead of winter and in a power outage with this generator out back running you a heater, I would not want the thought hanging over my head of that timing belt snapping. Sure you could have a spare waiting around, but you would have to stop the generator and tear it apart to change it, mean while your family is in the house freezing.
Matt: You're all wet. These engines are amazing and the timing belt is amazing too. We and our friends been using Honda generators for 50 years in the harsh environs of Death Valley and never, ever had a belt failure. Overhead cam has been a Honda feature since they entered the American market.
way . i don't use plastic , for oil con 's , they all broken when i pull apart ,with dead timing belt, put new belt in forget about plastic gear for oil level , they don't make's anything better .
You do know your working on a ENGINE and not a motor don't you? Do not take my word for this read and manufacture brochure or service manual, YES you put "motor oil" in your "Engine" MOST Engines the dip stick says right on it "Engine Oil" most oil containers say ' motor oil for your Engine', have had many question a "Outboard Motor" that is a reference for the whole package the outboard motor is powered by a engine, a motorcycle (again the name of the whole package) is powered by a internal combustion engine not a internal combustion Motor. Need proof read the owners manuals and or service manuals..

a magnetic dip stick is a must on these , The amount of metal they collect is astounding , much better than flowing around in there like sandpaper
quit copy/pasting the same dumb comment on every honda generator video
I think it’s beneficial, to any gen owner , just trying to help out , what are you doin to help ? Go eat a Costco size bag of dicks

Helpful video. Make sure that the cam pulley shaft is oriented right or you won't be able to get the cylinder head cover on correctly.
_Bravo, you did a great job. After how long is such an overhaul as you are in this video._
you are the best i just fixed my generator thanks to this video you gotta subscriber from me bro

When installing the timing belt, the letters on the belt should be upside down when you have the crankshaft end (stub) facing up.
doesn't say that anywhere in my eu2000i manual...

Great video, thanks for posting.
Great Job, however, I think you should have replaced the 0-ring on the pin.
Jesus, tmI think I‘ll get one of the old generators without that
They go like 10,000 hours before they need changed. These generators don’t have the reputation they have because they are service heavy.
@@tjm52071And how long a chain lasts? I bet: Way more than 10000 hours.

Thank you Sr.
Good idea to install a new starter cable..?
Might as well. It's pretty simple work. I never even glanced at the service manual, just started taking things apart. Easy peezy.
MASTER HANDS ! THANKS
Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
Hello, friend, could you tell me where I can get the Muffler model No. S351 for the Honda EU10i generator '?, Pleaseand Thanks for that nice video....
What’s the purpose of the governor gear can the generator can run with out it.
Great video.
Where u get the parts from? Hind dealer are very expensive
Most likely amazon or ebay lots of oem parts on there for cheap
GREAT VIDEO! How many hours were on that unit before you fixed it up?
have no idea. im sure lots. it was well beaten.
Does Honda make a complete replacement engine?
I love your car
You inspired me to overhauled mine. Great video! Seems a piston rod bolt gave up and was flying around the oil sump which trashed the piston and governor? Symptom was heavy smoke. Not bad for part prices @ Partstree.com but effort was twice the prediction time.
I wonder if this engine will be damaged, if the timing belt breaks. Do You or anybody know?
It's a non interference engine
Do the new models still have the timing belts? Someone told me honda stopped using the belt ? Thanks
Yes. The design has not changed. The belt will last for a VERY LONG time. Unless your using this genny everyday, you'll probably never need to change it.
Great to know ! Thanks a lot man
The EU 10i has a timing chain. Generators of the brand "Yamaha" also.
Nice car!
Yeah, just too bad no vid on how to get the shrouds off to get to the oil sensor.
Catalog number for timing belt, please!!! You did not show!!! Great video!!!

How did you know that your oil slinger went bad? Thanks.
next time you drain the oil out of yours, shine a flashlight in the drain hole and you'll see the white "governor". rotate the engine with the pull cord and you'll be able to see the whole thing as it spins.

Hello. I have a question. Do I need to do these steps to replace the bottom cover where the feet mount to. Two of my rubber feet broke off.
No. Just unbolt the old feet. Remember not to slide the unit or you'll keep tearing the feet off.
FixBreakRepeat thanks. I may have the wrong way. The whole bottom black plate that the feet mount to. Do I need to tear the whole gen a part to replace the bottom?
Yes, you'll need a full tear down. You wont have to split the case open, just remove everything from the tray.
I found similar wear on the cam at 300 hrs. I think it is normal for this unit.
I think extended oil change intervals contribute to this. Honda says every 100hrs, but without an hour meter, no one can tell just how much they've used it. I change mine every 25 hours, and have an hour meter installed.

Thanks Chris for the correction. You're absolutely correct. I see those paddles break off quite a bit. Any thoughts on why they are breaking ?

Tim Dunk yes, it is in mm. INT. = 0.15 +/- 0.04mm EXH. = 0.20 +/- 0.04mm
