honda vs yamaha generator
I have been thinking about a Honda EU2000i genny and while looking found a Yamaha EF2400iSCH genny. They claim it will start and run a 13,500btu A/c on an RV. Reviews are pretty good. Only saw one rev...

Bionic, that fuel cutoff is a phenomenal idea -- the only way I can run my Honda carb dry is by burning the whole tank, a time=consuming waste of money. But a dry carb is the key, they say, to avoiding gummy crud. Why can't Honda do that? It is not as if the Honda 2000 is a budget device! Grumble.
I take the side cover off my Honda 2000i and there is a screw at the bottom of the carb. The carb has a hose coming off it so I just put a clean container under the hose and open the screw and let the gas drain into the container and then pour it back into the tank. I was told to do this by a Honda service shop as a way to keep the carb clean. I also use fuel that is 100% gas and use Stabil in the gas all of the time. Seems to take care of the problem.
a person would be best off to not use alcohol containing fuel in these devices. Perhaps the new ones cope with that better however. I have been in marine repair shops where it is prominently posted that they are not responsible for ethanol caused issues.
