My Honda generator had been sitting idle for a couple years and wouldn’t start so I hit RUclips university for a fix. Stumbled upon this gem and followed his step by step guide. It worked perfectly! It’s not too hard and I had limited tools as well. I will make a point that be sure you put the washer back on the carburetor secure screw BEFORE you put everything back together …or gasoline WILL leak when you get it started up and you will have to repeat all the steps again… but you will be faster the second time! Thanks for your help!!😂
Did thr trick for my inverter. Thank you.
Went to start my Honda 2000 today after it had been sitting for a couple of years..and yes it wouldn't start. Watched your video and followed step by step and she's now purring like a kitten!
Hello Jon. I wanted to take the time to thank you for making this DIY video. I followed your steps to the “T”. Put it all back together again, pulled it twice and it started right up. It’s running like it’s new. What makes your video so great is your attention to detail. Everything from the exact tools you need, to the bread wire, to the east step by step instructions. Well done. 👍. I live in Puerto Rico and this generator brought me through Hurricane Maria. I ran over three months straight. Being in the middle of hurricane season now and not being able to start your generator is not a good feeling. You my friend helped so much. Thanks again for taking the time to make this video and educating us DIY guys. I hope I can return the favor some how. For now, I will pay it forward to folks on the island that need help.
These are the kind of comments that keep me going. I am thrilled your generator is back in action and thanks so much for the kind comment.
Keep on tractoring!
Worked great! Thank you so much! Only takes about 30 min to do, started on first pull 😊
bye the way 24awg wire works
tnx OM well done. made me look smart
My trusty EU2000i of 17 years decided to not start for the first time with hurricane Idelia hitting here in
Thank you a million times for posting this video. My generator has been in the shed since we drove to Alaska and when we really needed it this winter it never would start. Took it apart and did what you recommended and it started up lickety-split!
Thank you so much! This fixed mine and was clear and easy to follow. Worker right away! Straight and to the point! Keep up the good work!
rarely make comments on these kinda forums but had to give a shout out!!! generator been sitting for about 6 months and for weeks I couldn't get it started. Video was a life saver, can't thank you enough!! just follow along, directions are on point, very easy for DIY, started with 2nd pull after cleaning jet. Surprisingly, jet didn't look clogged or dirty at all but working well now. thanks again, much appreciative of the video.
This video was a lifesaver! I had just done the normal service and my generator (spark plug & oil change) and still wouldn’t start. Cleaning the jets did it. Thank you for the step by step instructions!
Glad this helped you out! 👍
Keep on tractoring!
Thanks so much for the video and the time it took to make it! Will start on mine in a few days!!
Thanks Jon, I have the same generator and it wouldn't start. I went to the produce section of my local store got a few twist ties and it worked perfectly. As others mentioned the jet wasn't coming out real easy, but I would push it from the top (inside the carb) back and forth a few times and it popped out...I was stoked, you made my day
That is awesome! Glad you got it working. It’s not a bad idea to start it once a month to keep those jets from gumming up.
Keep on tractoring!
Shear genius!!! Thank-you Jon. I bought both the Honda 2001i inverter and companion generators less than one year ago. Both were extremely difficult to start from the initial purchase (took over 100 pulls on each one before the intial startup). Always difficult to start ever sense (less than 3 hrs usage in the last year). Yesterday the companion generator wouldn't start at all. Viewed your video last night and cleaned out the main jet as described. Only took 20 mins to perform the repair. To my amazement, the companion generator started up on the first pull!!! Thank-you Jon for the great video and saving my marriage.
Very happy to hear this trick worked out for you and you're back in business. Also, not sure how I saved your marriage but glad you're happy about it. 😂😂
Use non ethanol gas and you shouldn't have any issues for a long while.
Keep on tractoring!
I have the same generator and after 2 years of not using it, there was no way it would start. I did everything you said and it started right up. Thanks much!
I’m so happy it worked out for you! This is one of my more popular videos.
Keep on tractoring!
Thanks for the video. I got a Honda 2000 that didn't start and your video showed me how to fix it. Now, I have a perfectly running generator.
Terrific! Glad this video was able to help you get up and running again!
Keep on tractoring!
Hi Jon! Thanks for sharing a great tip! I have a similar quiet inverter generator that still runs good, but if it doesn’t start one day, I’ll know what to do. Keep on tractorizing!
I saw the same bread tie trick on Taryl Fixes All You Tube channel. He has been working on small engines for 40 years, and he is very knowledgeable on just about anything related to small engine repair. Great video, thanks for sharing.
kubota and hondas are the most easyest engines and products to work on wich there my 2 only brands i love enjoy working on
How's she goin'? Nice fix on the genny!!! Old fuel left in the carb bowl is probably the number 1 reason a small engine won't start or run well. You got this one done!!! Take care!!!
Awesome I instructions and very easy to follow and perform! Spot-On and Thank you, you saved me ~$400 bucks!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just followed your process and my unit started on the third pull. The jet was 100% full of debris. Excellent video‼️
I’m thrilled this worked for you! I appreciate the comment.
Keep on tractoring!
This video is perfect. I took mine apart and used carb cleaner and put it back together and it started right up. Definitely plan to use the expensive non ethanol gas in the future.
Thank you 100x! 2 days before my camping trip I decided to try and run my generator and it wouldn’t start. I’ve cleaned a few carburetors before but this made it so much easier and gave me more confidence. Best of all it was the solution to my problem.
I love these types of comments! I’m so happy you were able to fix it before your camping trip! Have a great time!
Keep on tractoring!
Awesome video, work a treat. The fuel bowl had so much gunk in it and jet were mostly blocked.
And best part was hearing it start. Yay. Thanks for the video
Kudos Jon! I have an EU2000i that I have had for years. It has minimal running hours on it and has been sitting unused for so long I don't remember when. It would start but not run. So I followed your instruction here on the tube religiously and to the letter. The bread tie trick to open the jet orifices worked so slick I had to laugh. Oil change, new plug, fresh 91 non ethanol after I followed your directions she fired off on the third pull. Purrs like a kitten, runs like new. I highly recommend this tutorial to anybody having start/run problems with their Honda.
Thanks for the nice comment. I’m very happy this video helped you out. 91 octane will help that from happening again in the future.
Keep on tractoring!
I like to give credit where credit is due! Looked at a few sites to help with our Honda 2000 generator.....nothing changed. Found Jon's site.....easy fix is right! Step by step and taking out and cleaning the jets was the key! Thank you so much for your tutorial. Our generator has less than 50 hours on it in 10+ years, so being able to fix this ourselves was a huge savings. Again, thank you for your knowledge and posting so that we all can learn and do it ourselves!
I very much appreciate you taking the time to comment. I’m so happy it worked for you! Great little generator, just needs a good cleaning from time to time. Now make sure you run ethanol free gas.
Keep on tractoring!
Great video Jon !! I really enjoy fix it videos like this. Someone is going to fire up there generator and look this up right before they go camping. Your going to save the day ; )
Thank you!!! Forgot to drain my carb bowl and didnt start the gen for 2-3 months so had to do this before starting - and had forgotten to turn the ECO mode OFF.
Thanks for a great video!
Thank you for this video! I couldn't get our Honda EU2000 going at our remote cabin in Alaska (24 miles from nearest road). No Internet out there so I brought it home. Watched this video and soon the generator was running like it was new! One thing I did ... I fastened the bread bag twist wire to a tube in the generator. That way I will have one handy the next time I need one! Thanks again!
So glad this video got your generator running again. I appreciate the comment. Smart idea with the bread tie. 👍
Keep on tractoring!
Thank you so much for posting!! I followed along and my generator now works!
Worked perfectly! Even as you told me to replace the cover because I shouldn’t worry and that it was going to work, I was worried. Third pole, fired right up. Ran old gas out and replaced with new, fires every pull now.
I am sure glad to hear that!! Glad you were able to get your generator going again.
Keep on tractoring!
Thank you! This is just what I needed to get mine running again! I used a small safety pin; it's all plastic bread ties around here.
Hey This was exactly right. I did this and it fixed my issue completely. I used tag wire ( cleaned off wire from a bread tie) to clean the tiny holes, then I blew them out with air. Put it all back together and whamo fired right up after I filled the bowl. Now it starts up first pull. Thanks for this video.
I’m so glad to hear this worked for you! I appreciate the comment.
Keep on tractoring!
It worked. Like yours, it was my dad’s and had not run in awhile. Same generator too. I watched this video when it came out and had know idea it would be what I would need to do months later. Thanks.
I am very glad this video was able to help you out!
Keep on tractoring!
Nice instructions on carb cleaning. Non-Ethanol gas very important! Ethanol attracts water, causes corrosion, gums up!
This has been very helpful, thanks Jon.
I just did exactly what your video said and the Honda generator started right up. I actually used tip cleaners as I’m a welder and have them. Thanks so much for your video.
So glad that worked out for you! Back in action now!
Keep on tractoring!
Thank you for the great video. I too lost my dad and was given this exact generator. It sat for at least 2 years and recently the power went out and I wasn't able to start it. I changed the spark plug, but it seems this is the next step since it has been sitting for a few years. Thanks again.
I hope it works out for you! It’s pretty easy to fix.
Keep on tractoring!
Funny thing, Jon. I was "youtubing" generator videos this morning (looking for a new one for my RV) and your new video popped up in my recommendations. I had one of those Hondas and loved it! Just too small for my needs. I only have one supplier for non-ethanol gas here. It's an airport located about 45 mins away. They sell non-ethanol aviation fuel for about $2.00 more per gallon than "gas station" fuel. I like the ones that run on propane for traveling. At the end, I thought that Explorer was a police cruiser in your driveway :)
That’s interesting, in MN just about every gas station has premium non ethanol gas. Of course just about everyone here has a boat, snowmobile or ATV. It’s only about .20 more a gallon too.
Your not the only one who think our explorer is a police cruiser. When I get behind someone they always slow down. It can be annoying at times. 😂
Keep on tractoring!
Thanks so much for your video. I also stored the same model you show here 4 years ago thinking I was safe by draining the regular car gas out, but when I needed it today it didn't start after 30 minutes of exercise pulling on the rope. Thankfully your video popped up first and after watching it twice I gave it a try and it started on the second pull this time! Filled it up with the gas you can find at Home Depot for small engines and hope that when I need it next time it will work. Also going to try to remember starting every couple months to be sure, but we'll see if I remember, I think I remember saying that 4 years ago too. :)
Well that’s one way to get a workout. I did the same thing before making this video. Not so great on the shoulders. Happy to hear about your success story! Set a repeat reminder on your phone to start it every few months.
Keep on tractoring!
Love our honda 2200, it runs our off grid camper/toyhauler, no problem its really nice to have air conditioning running while off grid. We added the "extended run kit" so only have to put gas in it once a day and forget about it!
10 min fix and I'm back up and running. Thanks chief!!!
Happy to hear it worked out for you! 👍
Keep on tractoring!
Great video! Had the same issue. The tool I used that you shown was a tip cleaner for cutting torch tips.
Great video. I found the one jet was stuck at the top, used a small screw driver to pop it out then followed the rest of the video and worked like a charm. Thank you sir
Thanks for the comment. It’s always great to hear this video has helped others.
Keep on tractoring!
Nice! Took me longer to get the tools out than it did to do this service and oil change. Thanks!
Awesome video! Don't forget about the little black plastic idle jet on top of the carb. The holes in that are even smaller. Usually surges while running. Especially when on ECO mode. Its plastic and cheap almost easier to just change out. I had to use a wire from a wire brush and it barely fit. :) Ran smooth as glass after no surging.
Good to know! Thank you!
Keep on tractoring
That little blak idle jet looks hard to get to
Awesome thank you so much it worked you are a lifesaver literally❤❤❤❤❤
Yup! 20 - 30 pulls and no starting after winter storage although I had added fuel conditioner to the gas before storage. Actually, this is after a winter's storage from replacing the carb because of the issue with an after market carb. And the new carb jet gummed up! This 'fix' worked great and the problem now is how to prevent future gumming issues. Empty the tank and run the carb dry? Drain the float bowl and hopefully the jet at the same time without taking the carb off? Anyway, once performed, the fix disassembly is not a long procedure. Thanks!
Thanks for the video, it sorted my problem out it’s a great feeling and relief to put the problem right, I live off grid in the uk.
Good Stuff!!!
You just saved me more than I could afford!!!
Perfect fix for my generator. Thanks so much!
I have a EM2200X generator and after changing plug, gas and cleaning out carb fuel reservoir, applying this fix worked like a charm. Thanks for the video. Spot on!
So happy this worked out for you! I really appreciate the comment!
Keep on tractoring!
Thanks..This was very helpful 👌 👏 👍
Had recent power outage and needed generator (Have the same one you own). Spent quite a while getting it running. When power came back on was glad to find your video. Well explained. Thank you, Jon.
Very happy to hear this and glad you found the video helpful!
Keep on tractoring!
Good morning, Jon. Nicely done. You will find a use for that generator especially in the winter when the power goes out. Be well.
I would love to have a little shed type cabin out at Yukon. That generator could come in handy for that.
Keep on tractoring!
Torch tip cleaners work well also. love your video, good job with the details.
I have been working on my friends generator that would not run without spraying starting fluid. I did exactly what you said. The little screw inside card was clogged. I put it back together. I cranked the first pull. Thank u.
Really happy this worked for you! Thanks for the comment.
Keep on tractoring!
Dude!!!! Thanks for the great how to, worked Great, my fuel tank is rusted bad so I ran fuel from a plastic tank. Stoked about ur tractor content too!
Thank you so much. I just did this to my Honda and it started second pull. So stoked!!
Very happy to hear that! Thanks for your comment. Keep on tractoring!
Thank you so much for this
I have one also been in storage for couple of years...will follow your instructions....to a tee...here's hoping🤗
Thanks men!! Jus like u did i did and it start at the 3rd attempt after almost an hour of fail attempts to turn it on! Great job men! You saved me at least $30 there❤
So glad to hear this fix worked for you! I appreciate the comment.
Keep on tractoring!
Thanks so much. Great DIY video. 👍
Hey Jon - I put it back together and - lo and behold - it started after a few pulls - Thanks again
Wonderful news!!! I was just thinking about a way to get that jet out. How did you get it out?
@@ritterjon - Actually, I couldn't get it out. So, I cleaned the screw that did come out, then I ran that little wire into the center of the jet that wouldn't come out - and - somehow - it worked
Nice to have this video, appreciate that. My EU2200i won't start out of the box. If I am expected to remove and take apart the carburetor to get it to start, I'll just have to look for another option.
This video fixed my generator thank u
Brilliant thank you
Quite helpful 👍 Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Keep on tractoring
Hi Jon - Really appreciate the way you took us through this procedure - I'm having one problem - no matter how much I'm tapping; I can't get the jet out - the screw came out immediately - HELP! and thank you
If you open the choke and look down the throat of the carb you will see the top of the jet sticking out about a 1/16 of an inch. Take your small screwdriver and GENTLY press it down towards the bowl. That should free it up.... Make sure when you clean the jet, you take a little time to clean out the passage the jet goes into on the carb. The Key to preventing this is to shut off the gas, and use the drain to empty out the bowl... Especially when the generator is going to be stored. Add some fuel stabilizer to the tank every time you fill it to help keep things running smooth
Great video, thank you for the attention to detail and the great commentary! Very nice job, I appreciate it.
I really appreciate the comment! Thanks for checking out the video. 😁👍
Keep on tractoring!
Thanks for posting his video. Great information and helpful tips. I was able to get my generator up and running in a snap. I did have to use the screw driver to help push the injector out of the carburetor as it was stuck and would not just come out with light tapping.
This is great! Thanks for the comment. I’m happy to hear this worked for you.
Keep on tractoring!
So did I. I change oil, spark, this procedure and even clean the muffler. Still no response from the generator.
I Love your videos. Jon
Thanks that really help me alot i was already scared that my generator was damaged but i did that and work perfectly
Fantastic! Glad it worked out for you!
Keep on tractoring!
Jon great enjoyed this we use touch tip cleaners
God Bless All
PaK
Same problem. But I will try to fix ot tomorrow. Thanks for the video
Ah this looks doable! Thanks! Hope this works!
Yeah it worked but I struggled till I realized I left out the float spring which I didn’t see fall out. Then I got it working perfect!
Nice job Jon
Thanks Jason! Got make those how do videos once in awhile.
Keep on tractoring!
Thanks.just pulled my honda 2000 out of 3 month storage during a power outage only to find a no start situation. Looks like i found the right vid, I'll let you know if it works.
I sure it works for you! Keep me posted.
Keep on tractoring!
I found pulling one of the bristles from an older SS wire brush worked really well for poking through the jet holes. Would be a good idea to order an O ring kit just in case as well. the EU2000i and EU1000i both use the same O rings.
That’s a great idea!
Keep on tractoring
Bread tie. Check!
Thank you for your tip. Smarter than getting a Torch tip needle cleaning kit.
July 2022, just did this and it fixed the problem, mine wasn’t starting. Thanks
Good video!.
Thanks!
Keep on tractoring!
Thank you!!!
torch tip cleaner is what your thinking of by you a set theyre handy for multiple things
This was a very helpful and well done vidio but I almost skipped over it because it didn't say what the repair was or what was wrong with the generator. Would have been helpful to state up front what the repair is. That avoids the viewer from having to watch dozens of ads and intro BS before finding a relevant video
Generator works 🎉
Here in Jersey, I've never seen non-ethanol gas for sale near me. There are 9 stations located in the southern part of the state. Not worth the trip or the price.
Never had a problem with any of my gas powered equipment. Sears Lawn Tractor, Echo weed whacker and blower backpack, Stihl chainsaw. I've had them for years.
Here is the trick, beside regular maintenance, I use a product in the Regular gas that I use in them called Sea Foam. A can cost about 11 dollars. At the end of the season I pour a few ounce's into the tank and let it run for a few minutes. Never ever had a problem.
Wow I'm sure glad I went to u tube. Thanks
Everything you ever need to know in life can be found n RUclips! 😁👍
Keep on tractoring!
"If this is the third time you've done it, like me". LOL! Me too Jon, but mine has a Subaru Robin engine!
Mine has been hard to start since day one of owning it for 3 months. Will try this. I'm hating on Honda right now because of this.
I hope this works for you. It’s always good to start them about once a month to keep those jets from clogging up. Otherwise make sure you’re using non ethanol fuel.
Keep on tractoring!
I have the same generator and sometimes not giving me any power, it always started and running, but no powers that is my problem, any recommendations or can you make another video with regards to my problem. Thank you
i noticed that you never put the clamp back on the gas line after you remover the vice grips from fuel line. just a heads up , great video !!
I just took the injector port out and sprayed it with WD40 and let it work it’s way through blew it out likes flute and started up right away. Air hose would have worked too. Real easy maintenance fix.
Glad you got it going! Thanks for the comment!
Keep on tractoring!
Nice vid but I have a question: Why did you not drain the bowl using the screw that opens the bowl to empty via hose. Also how did you take out the carburetor w/o disconnecting the cables on top. thanks.
Those are good questions that in all honesty I don’t remember the answers to.
*Keep on tractoring!*
Pardon a question. ALthough your process and instructions are excellent, when we opened the air filter compartment, the filter was soaked with oil. Generator not used for about 4 months, last time it started fine. Do you know the reason for air filter getting full of oil? Please and thank you
I’d love to be able to answer this question but the fact is I just don’t know. 🤷♂️
Keep on tractoring!
Before all this major surgery, try this: Pull the cord five times, with choke full on. If it doesn't start, leave the choke full on and wait 5 minutes and try five pulls again. If it doesn't start, leave the choke full on and wait 10 minutes and try five pulls again. This has never failed to work for me, even when my generators have been sitting for months. I will confess, however, that my gens have never seen a drop of Ethanol gas (only alcohol-free)--and that may be part of my success!
Ethanol free gas is the only way to go with these high efficiency generators. This one sat for a few years after my dad passed away. He would use whatever was the cheapest but he would run it enough so it never had a chance to gum up so it didn’t matter.
Thanks for watching.
Keep on tractoring!
Thank you. Is there a solvent you can use to clean it out without disassembly?
I’m not sure, 🤔
Muito obrigado. 👍🤜🤛.
If you have an EU2200i, you can follow these instructions for the most part. When it comes time to remove the emulsion tube (the long, pipe-shaped jet), you will need to push it down with a screwdriver or pick tool. You can access it through the choke area. This video shows exactly what you'd need to do for that part: ruclips.net/video/znFS9WGf8BY/видео.htmlsi=xi7__xRCeqBuEO8D&t=514
These instructions worked great for me. Thanks for making such a helpful video.
I have watched two of these videos on the Honda carb and both did not mention the little rubber red gasket on the bottom of the bowl fastener? I almost didn't see it fall on the floor of the garage and put it back in. other wise very good video
Thank u bread tie.awesome.yersterday I was say all in carborator
When I unscrewed the jet the longer yet didn’t come out. Any suggestions on how to get it out? The butterfly is also stuck open.
Sorry for the late reply, I would imagine you've solved this issue by now. If now I would try to get it out with a small pick or maybe even a nail that might fit. As far as the butterfly goes I'm not too sure what you could do.
Keep on tractoring!
