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!
There is nothing else on-line better than this video explaining how to clean the 2000i carburetor. Great job 👏🏽!
Great video. Mine was also only running with the choke on. Bought some new gaskets, cleaned it all according to your video and it started right up👍 I was so happy to find your video after a note was left on my door late last night, that my power would be off for the day due to a elec. pole exchange. I couldn’t find anyone that could clean the carb today, so I did it myself. Now I can run my fridge tomorrow. Not bad for a 67 yo woman! Thank you
Holy smokes, this young man's video is fantastic. Step by step, clear illustrations, clear instructions. I've never cleaned out a carburetor before, never taken one apart. I was able to do it, at my slow pace, within an hour. Make sure you have the carburetor gaskets, kit, et cetera because mine had to be replaced for sure. I can not thank this guy enough. Absolutely amazing.
I hadn't ran my generator in 4 years. Couldn't get it started. Followed this video and it started right up! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Glad we were able to help!
Kinda helpful video...obviously the mechanic is very knowledgeable about this generator. The camera operator on the other hand...whew! Maybe if they stood further back we could see the factory in Japan. We can’t see through fingers, and we can’t see the removal of the jets, arguably the most important step. Also, zipped by the exact location to aim carb cleaner at the carb. Between squinting to see the tiny carb in hand and trying for x-ray vision to see through fingers and arms...er....
Yes, the info was great but as a whole; the video was horrible. Don't forget that Flow Bolt when ya put the darn thing back together either!
For those who don't know, the long tube is under the main jet screw. Tap on the side of the carb extension you removed the screw from with a screwdriver handle and it will fall out.
Thank you so very much. I had bought this generator and after just 15 hours use, stored it away. Just 3 months later, the Honda EU2000i would not start. Everyone here wants hundreds to fix this generator but no one was able to even look at mine in a timely manner. Thanks to this video, I managed to clean the varnish from my Carb and it is working great again.
That's great! Glad you found this video useful!
Excellent video...thanks. My 2000i only runs with choke wide open so I'll be doing the carb this weekend!
I learned an important lesson, spend plenty of time with the carb cleaner, particularly with the 4 openings in the body of the carb. It took a number of cleanings to get those as clean as needed.
Great video very helpful
Well done. Followed you step by step. Was having throttle control issues with my choke. Your video helped perfectly. Generator is running exactly like it should. Thanks for posting the education!
Saved me a ton of money doing this myself, and it was even fun. My first carb job. Still might have to replace the main jet as the choke needs to be on but that will be easy now!
Thank you so much for posting this. I put everything back together and had to take it apart to clean the jet. After I did this, it works like a champ!
Glad we could help! Thanks for watching.
After prolonged storage I couldn't get my EU2000i to start. It runs like new now. Thank you!
Great video! I bought my EU2000i from you guys years ago and it’s still running strong
Thank you! This is the most helpful video ever. I was able to get my generator running again!
Used this video to clean the carb on my 3000is. Very similar takedown. The holes on my jet were all clogged. Used a sewing needle to push out the varnish on the tiny holes. Runs like a champ!
Thanks for watching. Glad we could help!
This a a great video. I fixed the idle surge in just 10 mins. Thank you for your time!!!
We are happy to help, Jay! Let us know if we can be of further assistance!
Great post!! Very well filmed with good information. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Appreciate you posting the video. Mine had been sitting for years.. now it is running. Thank you.
Glad we could help @Ray O. Have a great day!
Thanks so much! I watched 3 other videos that were longer and didn’t help. This was perfect and got me up and running
Glad we could be of service.
Thank you for this post. I am a very reluctant mechanic, and this is a very thorough explanation. Everything went as you described.
I had a clogged jet. After reassembly, it started first pull.
+Chris Johnson Glad we could help, Chris! We'd love to see a video of the machine in action. Let us know if we can be of further assistance!
The only corner I had to cut was the bowl gasket. No one local has one and I needed to take a chance and reassemble due to potential power failure and a basement sump pump.
No leaks, but I did order and will replace in a couple days.
Great video even ten years later
Awesome instructions, thank you! I am a total mechanical moron and you made this look so easy and explained each piece so well it gave me enough confidence I was able to clean up the carb on my unit that had sat for two years. I put it back together and it started on the second pull and runs better than it ever did before. Thanks for the tip in the comments about removing the jet tube as well, I had to ease it out with a screwdriver as suggested.
Glad you found this video helpful! Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
Great video it really helped me get through this. In Puerto Rico we have problem with the electric company. Thank you for helping
Thanks your video was helpful in solving the issue with my EU2000i!
Glad you found it useful, Ken. Thanks for watching!
I copied your video step by step and sure enough one pull got me back in business after seemingly spending hours trying different things. Thank you for the easy to follow directions!,, I will make sure to start periodically so I won’t have this problem again.
Thanks for watching Mike! We're glad we could help!
Hi! I just cleaned my Honda 2000i using Tom (2013). Thanks for the excellent video. Bob
Hi Bob, I'm glad that we could be of service.
Thank you for the video, it was awesome!! :-D We had a power outage last Friday and I could not get the generator running. Following the video instruction this evening after 2 hours the generator is running great!
Thanks for watching! Glad you finally got it up and running. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or concerns about your generator. We'd be happy to help.
Thanks for the great video. One thing that gets glossed over is the removal and replacement of the inner fuel jet located under the jet screw. Mine doesn't want to come out!
If the emulsion tube is stuck, it is mostly due to varnish. You will need to soak the carburetor in carburetor cleaner for a couple hours and use a small flat head screwdriver to try and push the tube down and out of the carburetor. If you are still unable to get it out you may have to replace the carburetor. If you have more questions or concerns please feel free to let us know. You may also call our store to speak with someone directly. weingartz.com/locations
Thanks you for this great video that was well done. Thanks to you now I got mine up and running that wouldn't start.
Glad we could help! Let us know if we can be of further assistance.
Excellent video and east to follow, one thing, note how the second jet comes out of the carb as he tells you that once he's reinstalling it and it doesn't show on the video.
Excellent video, and wonderful teacher. I was able to fix my Honda 2K in the time it took to watch the video. Well done.
It took me six minutes after watch the video
Great info. like to add my husband used a tip cleaner that he uses to clean his ax./ox. torch tip, there like real small round files to clean the jets.
Thanks for watching! Glad we could help!
Great Video, My generator only ran with the choke on too. I cleaned the carburetor out three time with carb cleaner and air, now my generator runs like new. I did not remove the electronic control wires, the wires are long enough to do the job connected. Now I will drain the carb. bowl by loosening up the drain plug before storing the generator.
Glad you found it useful, Mark--thanks for watching!
You saved me quite a bit of money. Thank you for this video, this is exactly what I needed.
We are glad that we were able to provide valuable information.
Thanks so much for helping out, great straight forward vid, got mine running
Exceeded my expectations!
Detailed explanation with good video demonstration!
Thanks! Wish you would do the EU1000i. It is slightly different.
We will put the EU1000i on list - Thank you for the suggestion.
Very good idea. Followed you step-by-step until you removed the main jet. Took awhile to figure out what you had actually done with that step. As it was, we weren't able to undo that screw down inside the tube. Thought we might strip it by mistake. So we didn't go any further. Plus we need to buy some replacement parts before we try again. Thanks for your help.
Susie, glad you found this video helpful! If you need assistance in the future, please let us know. We'd be happy to help!
If this can help, you can download the service manual, page 181 for the carburator issuu.com/eacf/docs/honda-eu1000i-service-manual or here: www.boats.net/parts/search/Honda/Generator/0/EU1000I%20A/CARBURETOR%20(EU1000I)/parts.html
This is one of the most reliable easiest to maintain generator out there. Mine is 21 years old and works perfect. Whenever I’m don’t with it and ready to store it I just run tru fuel through the last tank and spray fogging oil in the cylinder. Mine was stored for 5 years the last time. I just pulled it out put fuel in it and a couple of pulls to get the gas through and it started right up and ran perfect. It’s all about maintenance.
Thank you for this post. Now my problem. I bought a replacement carb. The new one has the same hose configuration as yours. my old one doesn't have the extra two hoses that yours do. (the two clear hoses that join into one) not the fuel drain line. Do I just let them hang? I didn't see in the vid where you connected them.
Very nice demo, thanks!
Thanks for watching! Glad we could help!
Thank you for this video!!!
I'm a Rearend mechanic I put this Rearend in a lazy boy.😂😂
Outstanding video. You did a great job all on every level.
+dseyna Thank you! We appreciate your kind words!
Nice video. Very informative. Thanks, Barry
The most important part you missed is to remove and clean the pilot jet under the idle screw, the hole is so tiny you can hardly see it , tiny hole is easiest to clog, much smaller than a wire brush bristle, replace is best
Good stuff. I guess the row vinyl hoses with a y connector just sit in the bottom of generator housing as I can’t see anywhere they might attach on outboard end?.
Great video. thanks for sharing!
Glad we could help! Thanks for watching.
Excellent tutorial!!
Great presentation ...good job !
Thanks for watching!
Just cleaned mine and it runs well. The carb parts add up in a hurry - I wanted all the gaskets, a float needle, a main jet, and the main tube. Roughly $55, against a whole new carb at roughly $125.
Which main jet is the standard one - 58,60,or 62? Mine is the EU2000i A/B variant.
Fantastic video and great instructions. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you it worked great!
Thanks for watching Justin! Glad you found the video helpful!
Thank you for that great video!!!
Do have a complete list, and part numbers, of the parts you recommend replacing? Thank you. If nothing else, Your video will help me feel better about paying the Honda guys to do this for me.
Simple and sweet🙌
Very well done video. On the comment from Cash you said
"The number you'll need for the bowl kit is 16015-ZM7-003, while the number for the gasket kit is 16010-ZM7-D01"
What comes in each kit? Which kit has the bowl seal that you say needs to be replaced each time it is worked on?
Great video. Thanks to you I had success.
Glad you found it useful - thanks for watching!
I had a problem taking tge long tube jet out after removing the bowl and big jet in bottom. Is there an easy way? I taped it gently but it wouldn't come out. I'm sure holes are partly plugged. Need to run a wire through these holes!
On my Honda eu1000i I backed out my idle adjustment screw. In doing so, I lost my bearings and was not certain the amount of turns from total seating. Do you know how many full turns I need to adjust it. Thank you.
Thanks for the video.
Missing the spring on top of carburator, we didn't show that part...
Weldone
What is the cost of the bowl and gasket kit for the Honda EU2000i trying to compare rebuilding the carb verses buying a new one.Thanks
You are a legend. Thanks so much for your time and a great, well explained video. I'm assuming this is the same procedure on all Honda generators?
Glad you found this video helpful! This is not the same procedure on all Honda generators. Depending on the model the internals for the carburetors are different. Feel free to let us know if we can be of further assistance.
Very useful video; well done!
Thanks for watching!
what way does long brass tube go on back in carb for main jet
Great video! Started on the first pull. The longer jet underneath the main jet didn't come out though. Is there a trick to getting that one out?
Thanks for watching! Try removing the carburetor, go behind a butterfly value and ply it out with a screwdriver.
If you have more questions let us know. Also, feel free to bring your machine into one of our stores or call us and a representative will be happy to help with any questions or concerns. weingartz.com/locations
I wanted to thank you for this video. Last year took my machine to a small engine repair shop. Said I needed a new carb. Had about 10 hours on machine. Said they didn't have a rebuild kit. $140 for a new carb and $60 to install. I'm feeling pretty stupid now. Watched your video a few times and 30 minutes later, she's purring like a kitten. I've always run ethanol few fuel in it. How could Honda ever put out a machine so prone to this. You need to come up with a fix.
Thank you
+Stuart Hill We are happy to help, Stuart! Please let us know if you have any other questions!
The permanent solution I added the tri fuel conversion kit on my Honda 1000 and Honda 2200. I bought both new and no gasoline only propane. Down side you loose about 10% power using propane 900 and 2000 watts max. Running propane cleaner, no fouling spark plug or engine, no dirty oil, no cleaning carb or spark arrestor. Engines on propane or natural gas lasts longer and less maintained. On propane or natural gas no carb problems or treating fuel.
great aid thank you.
John, Glad you found this video helpful!
Thank you!
Great video thanks!
Tony, thanks for watching!
Excellent. I m half way with my EU1000i (same set up). Now i have to find a carb cleaner in vietnam. I only ran that genset 3 hours. It is dirty like hell. Any way well done vid. Cant make it clearer.
Very well done video, very informative.
+Gregg Palmer Thanks, Gregg!
Hi Tom, great video! I have an issue I can't seem to fix regarding the float bowl and the seal ring. It just will not seal and drips gas. I've replace the seal ($13 ouch!) and it still drips gas when started. I tried tightening the screw really (really) tight as well as leaving it just snug tight... still drips. It's almost like the bowl is "out of round". Is this possible? Any fix ideas? Thank you!
Hi Jason. There are 2 sides of the the float bowl gasket. Make sure the round side of the float bowl gasket is inserted into the carburetor and that the bowl is centered in the carburetor body. It is possible that the float bowl was damaged during tightening.
Please be aware that generator models EB2800i and EG2800i were recalled due to a carburetor fuel leak issue.
I would also like a list of parts you recommended replacing. I noticed you guys are able to reply to many post, but not to the ones requesting a list of part numbers. It might even be a good idea to just post a link to purchase. Otherwise the video was very helpful. Just as stated, the gasket around the flow bowl warped, and now not sure how to get another one.
Good simple video great job
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video...
I have same Gen but it is not starting..what should i check step by step
Thanks for watching. There are various items to check on generators based on the brand, make and model. However, you can start with the basics: Is the switch and gas valve on? Is the generator filled with oil? Some generators shut off when the oil level is low for safety. If the generator electric start? If so, has it been cranking over? Have you replaced the spark plug? Has the generator been recently used or has it been sitting for a while? If it's been sitting for a while it might have old gas. Additionally, if it has been sitting for a while it will need to be serviced. You can bring your generator to us or take it to your local dealer.
check for spark

Question? On the EU 2000i carburetor modification for high altitudes. Specifically over 5000’.....it’s says (owner’s manual) to have authorized service dealer make modifications. Could / would you tell me what involved so I can decide whether I could do it ?
Hi Robert. Thanks for reaching out. This process involves changing the main jet in the carburetor and changing the air to fuel ratio. We are not a high altitude dealer but we recommend taking your generator to your local high altitude dealer for more information about the procedure.
Hi Tom, I performed the cleaning and it still run roughly, also gasoline smell on the exhaust and black smoke. Did I have to replace the carb?
Thanks for reaching out. It does sound like you need to replace your carburetor. Feel free to contact us at 855-669-7278. Provide us with your model number, serial number, and all other numbers that appear on your equipment, and we'll be happy to help you. Also, please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
I’ve only done a few of these generators, guess I’ve been lucky, I’m able to reuse all my gaskets including the o-ring. The one thing one doesn’t want to do is get carb cleaner on the o-ring or other gaskets, it will distort them. I’ve heard gasoline can do it too. Carb cleaner is good on the jets and emulsifier, metal parts such as that. The o-ring will stretch. Not all is lost, if you did this, clean off whatever fluid you used, let it dry out, it should shrink back down to size. If it is still stretched, I’ve heard others putting o -rings in freezer for a few hours. O-rings are hell to find local repair shops stocking this, although you might try taking it to an auto parts store, they usually carry lots of o-rings. Ordering online often takes several weeks before they ship, and usually nobody wants to sell you just one o-ring, without hitting you on shipping or seeking you a bowl with it, and other gaskets. Please do yourself a favor and don’t get carb cleaner or immerse in gasoline on o-ring and other gaskets. It’s okay once you put back together, gasoline isn’t exposed to entire surface to distort such gaskets then. Best of luck.
How often need to clean cab?
I have an older EM 3500 - do you have any videos on how to dismantle / clean a carburetor on those?
+Rick Neubrand Hi, Rick! Unfortunately, we don't have any videos on that model at this time, but we will keep it in mind for future tutorials. If you have any questions for us, please feel free to contact us here: weingartz.com/locations . Thanks for watching!
Thanks - much appreciated.
at 08:45 You mentioned that you recommend replacing the Needle and Nut every time you clean. Please provide part numbers. I found your website difficult to find the parts I need, Links to all parts recommended in the video would be great. Thanks for the demonstration!
Hi, Jason:
Thanks for your question. There are actually several variations of this particular generator, so there are many part numbers out there depending on which one you have. The most common numbers would be 16010-ZM7-D01 (gasket set) and 16011-ZE0-005 (valve set, float), but to better pinpoint the exact parts for your generator, please call us at 855-669-7278 , and a parts representative will be happy to help you find exactly what you need. Thanks!
Puedo instalar el carburador honda al Predator 2000?
Fantastic video. Only 1 criticism...when reassembling 'you are going to want to know how this came out of the carb.." Which you proceed to hide the orientation or comment on which end goes in first. Of course I did not note which way it came out....
It wont' come in if you put in the wrong direction.
I agree - had same question. So I googled an exploded view of the carburetor on the ue2000i and figured it out that way.
Hi, I have this generator and it's been sitting for several years (with gas in it). I started it today and it started beautifully, BUT there is gasoline running out the bottom. I took the cover off and it appears there is a hose on the carburetor that isn't attached. It's located on the right side but out of reach unless you take the air cleaner off. Is this hose supposed to be unattached? I tried to see it in your video but couldn't quite tell for sure. Thanks! Sharon
Sharon, glad you found this video helpful! Call our service department at 248-471-3050 with your model number and a representative will be happy to assist you.
well done
I have this generator but don't know exactly what I can and can't connect or how many at the same time. Can I do a big fridge , computer and LCD TV? Can someone explain if long extensions (50ft) and then connecting a multi plug affects performance? Thanks
Please select the following link. weingartz.com/PD/2298116/Honda-Generator-EU2000i. Here you will find information relating to Honda Generator EU2000i. Select the documents tab. On page 7 of the document you will find information about starting and running wattage requirements for using different items. According to this information, you should be able to run fridge, computer and TV at the same time, but long extensions do affect performance. The longer the cord the more resistance, and this takes away from the amperage used to run your household items.
Would the same procedure apply to eu2200i? Thanks!
Yes
Was hoping you would show how to remove the choke lever. Mine will not stay in the choke position so I manually hold it until it starts then when I release it, it returns to the middle position and flutters. Lately, I have been taping it in the open position after it is running. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks for watching. Do you have a Honda generator? Honda generators are vacuum operated so when you release the choke position, it is supposed to return to the middle position and flutter as you said.
Hello, friend, could you tell me where I can get the Muffler model No. S351 for the Honda EU10i generator '?, Please
Sorry, we are only able to order parts for US models.
Thank you! Great video except one thing. Might want to go back and explain that the main jet is below the pilot jet and you can push it out from the inside of the main throttle body. Thanks again. Mine is back to 100%
Do you have any other EU 2000i videos?
Hi, Bob:
Thanks for checking in. We do have a EU2000i Buyer's Guide video that can be found here: ow.ly/GxpO5 . You can also find more information about the EU2000i on our blog: ow.ly/GxpYk . Please let us know if you have any questions--thanks!

What are the honda part #'s to lean out the carb for 5,000' elevation?
Thanks for reaching out. Has your machine run in this elevation before? If so, does it have old fuel in it? If not, check the fuel first. To get a high altitude kit for the carburetor, you need to have your model number, serial number, and information on the altitude handy. We can look into getting the kit and possibly having it shipped to you, or we can help find a local Honda Dealer. Please feel free to call us with more questions or concerns at 248-471-3050.
how come you forgot to clean/check the pilot jet [ located under the throttle stop screw ] and the pilot set screw ?
“You going to want to know how this came out of the carb”..... then proceed to have some random camera angle that doesn’t show in case someone forgot...

You should have shown how to remove carburator slender jet Valve with the Very small holes as well as the black idle screw and the black jet with
O-ring with very small hole that needs to be clear of debris.
