I bought my used Honda eu2000i in October 2019 and didn't try to use it until June 2021, but it wouldn't start. Checked the spark plug and it looked bad, so I changed it, but still no start. Looked at other videos, then opened the carburetor and it looked clean... but still wouldn't start. So I borrowed my friend's (same) generator. The next day I tackled the project again and found your video... you did a great job in explaining and describing which tools, etc. It was exactly what you said it would be... the jets. The garbage wrap tie was ingenious! Put it back together and it started up!! Decided to clean my friend's carburetor while I was at it, which he was happy about. Thanks so much for your video!!!
thanks so much ,really appreciated you taking the time gary , i try to make videos utilizing what folks have around! again ty sir
I am a female who knows nothing about this kind of stuff. My Dad was a diesel mechanic and I wish I would have paid attention more. I did not have any of the spray that was mentioned here but took the bread tie and cleaned the piece with holes on it really good. Put everything back together, swore a few times and it did not work. I let it percolate and then tried to get the spark plug out but I did not have the right tools. I reset the cover on it and gave it more pulls and heard like it was trying. I pulled several more times and it started working. Thank you so much! I learned so much!
that is awesome thanks so much for taking the time to let me know!
My old faithful is starting to rattle at muffler. It originally had a spot weld burn thru. Muffler replaced under warranty. I want a vid on either spark arrester replacement, or muffler replacement. Thanks. Yeah the pre filter is a sneaky lil bugger. Mine crumbled. .
Have three 2000i's that would not start. Came across this video and followed your steps. Worked like a charm on all three generators! Thank you for posting this!
Glad it helped bluedogg1
Generator hasn’t run for 2 years. Followed the video, bingo, she’s back to purring. Many thanks!!!
🤜🤛👍
Old guitar strings work great for cleaning out small holes. Carb jets. Paint sprayer tips. Ect. Different size holes different size guitar strings.
4/26/24. Mine would not start after sitting for a few years.
Followed as described, fired right up!
Thank you for the great video
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Glad it helped
This went from a days/weeks in the shop repair to a same day DIY-er. I really appreciate guys like you that share knowledge like this without the hoopla. A big thumbs up!
Thanks so much Paul, really appreciated
Awesome video. My unit now runs great.
Great video l have hour meter on mine maintenance is easy . So far still starts all the time. Use nonox gas no pump gas . Same for my 68 evinrude snowmobile no fpool uled carbs.😊 ps l think you forgot lower foam on bench. Easy install.thanks for the video😅
Excellent video. Up and running in 15 minutes!!
Fantastic!
Thank you! Just fixed my generator and it took me longer to find the correct socket size then the repair😊
Well I was just about to bring it in to the shop - had sat for 6 months and would not start. Stored indoors so I knew no moisture got in. Was going to take the whole thing apart along with your video and luckily I watched all the way through. This is the only video that tells you to prime the carb with the machine in off position. 8 pulls in off- flicked to on and started on the second pull. Going to get some new gas and let it run for a few hours. Thank you sir!
Your video helped me fix my generator and allowed me to save the food in my fridge. Spring ice storm in Maine.
Nothing I could do to get my Honda EU2000 running. Cleaned the Jets just as you showed in your video. Now its back up and running!!🎉 awesome video
Great video! I have a newer Honda EU2200i and I couldn’t believe I couldn’t get it to start. I bought a Honda for reliability and I have other off brand generators that I haven’t had to touch in 14 years. Anyway, I did exactly what you said and my generator started right up!! Can’t thank you enough!!
We have used the czcams.com/users/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
You know that feeling, when you do something and it works… this video helped me achieve that feeling and it felt really good. Thank you
Brilliant! Short and concise, clear images, great instructions, no waffling. Thank you. Wish there were more content makers like you. I'm off to try to get a Honda generator that's been stored for 10 years started.
Wow, thanks!
I got the generator carb cleaned as instructed. Primed, switched on and it started first pull! Thanks for the vid.( Not bad for a 23 yr old generator.)
@@user-sd2yw9nh2b that is awesome 🤜 🤛
I can’t thank you enough. I had my generator running by the end of this video.
You’re a life saver!
Brilliant! After 6-12 months of non-operation I couldn’t get my EU2000i generator to start. Found your video, followed the steps, etc. Nothing looked dirty and the jets looked pretty good to me. But I completed everything and put it back together. Tried starting it the way you described and nothing happened. Bummer. I let it sit for a few minutes. Came back and tried one more time. It started on the first pull! Woo hoo! So happy it’s working. I saved the link to your video for the future. Thanks so much!
Awesome David, glad to hear that.
Mine did that. It was one ounce low on oil. NOT LEVEL.
I had a tune up on my euhonda2000i carberator. Supposed to have been cleaned. Generator stopped can't start.Mechanic says it is muffler.How can that be?
Thanks! Mine is a 2008 with low hours and well maintained. Your fix worked like a dream! One pull after cleaning. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you.
I have done it before but a great refresher course before diving in again.
My Honda eu2000i after sitting unused for about a year and a half, would only run with the choke on. This procedure fixed that. Good video! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing ,appreciate it randy
Thanks! Video helped me out! Found the same generator on the side of the road for free...wasn't getting gas....cleaned like this, and fired right up
I watched your video because my neighbor gave me the same generator to repair. I followed your steps as you instructed. It started on the 3rd pull and runs great. Thank you so much my brother. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Your a blessing.
Man you ROCK. You saved our bacon on this. It was a quick and super easy fix, thank god.
Thank you so much for this video. By the way, it was the first one that came up when I searched for “Honda eu2000i generator won’t start”. Thanks again.
Awesome to hear and thanks so much 👍
thank you garage you saved the day
Glad to hear it
A huge help. Followed your instruction and my generator fired up first pull and purrs like it was new. Thanks again.
Best honda repair video thanks!
thanks ..... just found a need for your work.......... really cool..... the air filter had dissolved.......
Thank you so so much for making the time to make this video. My Honda Generator only sat for a few months and wouldn’t start this summer. After watching your video and doing exactly what you said she started up with ease. I only wish I would of just watched your video sooner and avoided a blister from continuously pulling on the pull start. Again big thanks!
really appreciated you taking the time Eddie 👍
I really enjoyed building my back muscles pulling the cord with each arm once each of my elbows started to go out at 3 am. I'm with you on wishing I watched this video sooner.
Thank you! You just helped me a second time to repair 2 different Hondas in the last couple years. These 2 had been discarded by the owners because they couldn’t get them to start. Your directions helped me put them back to running!
Great video. I opened up a brand new one out the box and it wouldn’t start for anything no matter how many attempts me and my coworkers did. I headed over to the university of CZcams and stumbled upon your video. 10 mins later it was surely running.!!
Nice work!
This video is awesome. Couldn’t get mine to start and knew it was fuel because the spark plug was dry. My jets were super clogged! Thank you!
Not only a huge thank you for saving us but for the step by step instructions. My husband couldn’t start ours and I found your video. It WORKED!!! With the Cali power outages we definitely can’t be without it.
Thank you for taking the time to make and post this. I'm the skeptic, but I am happy to take stuff apart and I believe your method has merit, and I'll explore it this summer. That being said, last time no start I removed air box cover and a very small squirt of starting fluid and fired right off for the duration of need. Last time I needed it, after sitting for nearly a year, I removed the fill cap and blew into it, pressurized it, and slowly pulled the rope, then put cap back on and with choke on pull a couple of times and fired and ran for duration. It's hard to imagine this machine has such close tolerances as to need routine dismantling just to make it run. I feel that if it had a small pressure bulb like many 2 cycle engines it might solve my hard start. Thanks again for your instructions and I'll address this next summer.
HEY BILL ,both methods for start you mention would confirm this diagnosis ,as both would provide fuel to start the engine and it would continue to run but it would be lean with a low fuel supply which could burn a valve or piston , let me know how you make out when you get to it , and I appreciate your time ! thank you.
@@thisguysgarage Thanks for the reply. Early on a few years ago I had the surging problem and had the carb off to run the smaller wire through the air/fuel mix plastic nozzle, but didn't think to look in the bowl. I'll get a fire going in the shop and get to it shortly. And I'll let you know what I discover. IMHO Honda and Toyota and other Nippon machinery are closer tolerances that Briggs&Stratton, which by the way rarely fail to start even with all kinds of junk in the tank.
Worked! Perfect video.
Did some aggressive pulls after following this guide and it wouldn't start initially. I left the gas notch on for about an hour, tried again and it started up! These fuel efficient carburetor's are not beach friendly. Thanks so much for showing the simple fix!
Great to hear!
very, very helpful video re strip down & cleaning of dirty, clogged carburetor jets on my neglected Honda 2200i generator - thanks guy
Two year old generator stopped starting on the first pull. Great instructions, except my jet got stuck, ended up tapping it down from the air intake side. Thank you very much. Primed it, and started on first pull! Fantastic. Love the tool list as well.
Thank you. Your video here got both grandpa's generators working. One carb full of red gas, too much stable?, and one full of yellow gas. They now work like a charm.
Fantastic!, really appreciate you takng the time, sounds right on the stabilizer
Thanks for a great instructional video. I watched it three times then disassembled my EU2000 which failed to start after sitting all winter. It runs great now thanks to your easy to follow instructions, the problem was a plugged jet.
Hey, this actually worked! I hadn't run the generator for about a year, and it would not start no matter how many times I pulled the chord or tweeked the choke. So I followed your instructions exactly, and the generator fired right up. I really didn't expect it to because I got so little dirt out of the jets (just some very tiny black specs). Great video - very clear and no missed steps. Thanks!
Bought this generator about a year ago. Test ran it once when I got it. Then never used it since. Pulled it out yesterday and it wouldn’t start. Sat with gas in tank all that time didn’t think it was an issue.
Found this video and gave it a try. Surprise! It worked!! Five pulls and it started right up!! Thanks for the great lesson! 👍🏻
Really appreciate your time letting us know!
Amazing TGG Grace! "I once was lost, but now I'm found. Was blind, but now I see." You made it look easy. Thanks so much.
Glad it helped! thanks so much Charlie brown .
YOU ARE AN ANGEL. Thank you so much. I spent hours trying to start my 2200i before I found your video.
Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know, very much appreciated 👍
Eu2000i would not start, So here I am. Did what you said the only problem I ran into was the jet would not come out. I think that the ID dia of that hole was a little small and they jammed the jet in there. Honda QC didn't do a good job that day. Any way I sprayed carburetor cleaner into the hole with the jammed jet, then used air to blow it out. Did that three times. put it all back together and it started. I don't like that jet being jammed in there and not coming out. But it is running good now. Thanks for taking the time to do this video.
Thanks for taking the time. You are not the first person to let me know that the jet would not come out. Crazy. Very appreciated
Thank you for going back and inserting general maintenance instructions in-between repair steps. This is an excellent video and you might have saved lives by keeping people from going crazy trying to find the problem with their Honda generator. You are an artist sir. A great one.
Hey Texas medical, that is what it is all about. Thanks so much 🙏
Just wanted to let you know you gave thorough instructions I appreciate it. You save me a lot of money and my generator is running like a cat purring. Thank you.
Awesome tutorial brother! Bought a brand new Honda generator and would not start out of the box. Followed your instructions and it started up 1st time! Thanks!
Glad it helped thanks so much Edmund ,really appreciated!
followed your video to the letter after putting it all back together it wouldn't start? took the dog for a walk came back tried to start it not start? had supper , walked the dog dumped the gas out and put in new and first two pulls with chock and lever off then turned it on and on one pull it started! ran good for a full hour then shut it down and wondered if I just would of replaced the gas would of it started? karma? thanks good video it had to have something to do with it starting too! thanks again
This got my generator going after sitting 3 years and a bunch of orange honey-like gas drained out before I started. Running like a top now! thanks, this guy :)
I saw something from your episode that I found with mine that when I turn the gas on and pull start it sometimes it takes two or three poles and then I let it sit for a few minutes and then pull it again on choke and she starts up. What you mentioned was to pull it a few times in the off position to create a fuel vacuum that will help it start when you turn it on I will definitely try that
Thank you very much for these perfect instructions! You solved my problem, I’m prepared for the storm, and I feel pretty good about myself! Blessings!
Thanks buddy, I was just visiting my mom and checked her geni... this was exactly what was wrong with it. I owe you a beer.
Worked for me, only took about 15 or 20 minutes. Now it starts with a easy half pull like it should. Thanks so much for posting this tutorial!
Thank ya sir , possible power outage tonight with flooding,watched your video and now I’m ready to run my sump pumps if need be , no trash bag ties had to use a guitar string and she fired right up God Bless
Glad to help, a guitar string is perfect 🤜🤛
I did exactly what you said and it started right up thanks for the great video stay healthy.
thanks so much for taking the time Adam!
Thank you for the help! She fired right up!!
Great tutorial. The off switch on original Honda eu2000i generators shuts off the fuel and the ignition so pulling it over several times does nothing to help start the engine. I have two of these quality generators and both are hard to start after setting for awhile so I pressurize the fuel tanks which helps prime the fuel pump. This makes starting much easier and always use non-oxy fuel.
Very useful video. I have had the same unit for 4 years. No problems so far but I know it’s coming. Thanks
Can't wait to try it once I'm home
You Sir are a lifesaver!! I followed your steps and it cranked right up. Thank you!!!!
Glad it helped Troy!
Thank you! Mine wouldn't start, followed your excellent video. Started on the 3rd pull!
Perfect, ty so much for letting us know 👍
Fixed my jenny with your vid, thanks much good job! Jet was clogged pretty bad after sitting almost 2 years with no use.
Great video. I did this with an older Honda generator well before your video and it took me a lot longer to stumble my way through the same steps, in the dark and driving rainstorm. It was nice to see the steps for my newer generator and that I'm not the only one to forget the small foam air filter on reassembly.
Thanks...you basically fixed my Honda Generator. Paid minimum for "non-running"unit. Still have a problem with the ECO idle or switch but at least it runs. Nice work.👍
This is most likely from ethanol in the fuel🤔 my jet tube was stuck in the housing so penetrating oil is a good trick to soak it🤙 used a stainless rod the size of the center hole to break it loose "voila"it dropped out😎 I used a unwind off a guitar string, acts like a pipe cleaner makes thems holes real pretty🤠
Be sure to drain the bowl after use for storage😴 add fuel stabilizer to the tank🚽
awesome jim great thinking
Did this with my Honda EU2200i, and fired right up afterwards! Thank you!
i got one to repair it and saw this video..thr best video we can get, thanks a lot!!
Loved it! Clear and concise.
I appreciate the fact that you were teaching in your coat with ratty sleeves (like my shop coats) no false airs.
Awesome! Thank you Stan!
followed by instructions, all true ,100% confirmed , thank you buddy for help, mine now is working perfectly
Glad it helped
Great presentation and this is the sharpest in- focus CZcams video ever! What a camera.
Thank you so much 🤜🤛
This guy's cool😎
Thank you! Now I know more about (hopefully never needed) future repairs.
Today I did my quarterly generator test run, only to discover that when I attempted to close the choke, the generator would turn off. I opened the gas cap, and a blast of air came out of the gas inlet. I closed the gas cap, and after that the machine worked perfectly.
Thanks so much mykel, that is s fantastic habit to have, doing quarterly startups. As I like to say panic is for the unprepared 🤜🤛

That’s a great expression which I’ll remember, thanks.
Floridians expect hurricanes, and I’m one of those who are food/water and lighting (kerosene and oil lamps, plus candles) prepared. I’m not a so-called hardcore obsessive “prepper”, in any respect, but as a former LEO, I know to expect anything at anytime, be vigilant and be prepared.
Also- I’ve a 2 story house, and on each closet door knob there’s a Horror Fright 3 AAA cell flashlight, with rechargeable batteries. And, I’ve counted the steps down to the first floor - in case there’s a blackout.
Thanks for this video. Lost power yesterday and sadly I couldn't get it to start when we needed it. This was my issue and your step by step guide was perfect. Gummed up bowl and injectors was the culprit.
Now to fix the disintegrating foam.
This is where you should start when it doesn’t start or run for more than a second or two. Great description of how to clean your carb !
Glad it was helpful! thanks paul
Thanks … going to give it a try tomorrow
This video is awesome, my Honda 2000 Always started up in the first 3-6 cranks since I got it in 2012 I hadn’t run it in maybe 2 years and this was the first time it wouldn’t start. I literally followed this video step by step and it cranked up on the first pull.
Thank you sir for making this video. It served me well. Generator started up like a charm! You da man!
🤜🤛🍻
I still can’t get it to start it sounds like it’s ready to turn over but nothing. Great video I liked and subscribed I appreciate the time you took to go through this.
Great video, me and my daughter fixed our EU2000 from your video mahalo!
Awesome to hear that,thanks so much, Mahalo!
Thank you so much for this very informative video. I followed your instructions to resolve my non-starter's problem. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦 .
I appreciate you taking the time Robert 👍
After I performed this video, it started on the first pull. Thanks for your help.
My generator would not start. I did exactly what you said to do. It started first pull.
Perfect
You video was awesome! Mine sat for a few months with fuel and wouldn’t start! I followed your steps and it fired right up!
Glad it helped! really appreciated
If you have a wire brush for welding you can remove one bunch of wires from the wire brush and use those stiff wires as a tool to clean the orifices if you do not have the proper jet cleaning tool. Good video.
You saved our butts. Thank you so much for the tutorial. Ours is working good now thanks to you. God Bless
Awesome ty so much for letting me know
Tank you, mine was really dirty and rusty on the carburetor inside, I clean it and I did what you said and it works 😃
Thank you so much for the video. You saved the money for the repair👍🏻👍🏻
Glad it helped
That EU2000 looks very fresh and clean!
Just what mine needed- thanks!
Great video. I’ll let you know how it works. 🤙🏻
Thanks for the video! It worked just like you said.
Glad it helped
My old arch nemesis the Eu 2000 lol. Worked on many of these. problems mostly caused by lack of use (old gas etc).

@Alessandro Wyatt i would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google :)
thanks for the great explanation video.
You bet!
The last 15 seconds solved my problem.
Turn it off, pull the string a few times to create vacuum on the fuel. Then start.
My parents gave me their generator about 8 years ago after they sold their RV. It's been sitting in my garage never used. Had a storm last night and couldn't get it started until after watching this video. Then it started right up.
Thanks so much, really appreciate you taking the time 👍
This is the most helpful video I have seen. Thank You so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Hello there Shaun!! Nice cleaning job on the carb. Quick and easy, that's the way I like it!!! Take care!!!
Thanks mike 👍
Wow!!! Thank You so much for your video!! You did a fantastic job and love how easy you made it to follow. I’m no mechanic but like to try and fix things on my own and you gave me the confidence to tackle this one. I was about to take it in and get it serviced. Have a new 2200i and used it one time and it sat for months. Went to turn it on when I needed it and of course nothing. I was ticked and of course it had been about a yr or so since I last turned it on. Followed your instructions and BAM!!! It turned on after a few pulls. Great Job Sir!!!
Great vid and it was what was wrong with mine. I thought it was the problem before I started but thought check the internet before I break something.
great vid man, my 1 year old eu10i wont start last 2 days, tomorrow Ill pull it apart and do the jet clean.
Gonna try this on saturday. 🤞🤞
Perfect video many thanks 👍🏼
