Can't comment on the Yamaha, like others here, I'd think about a couple of 2000's together, just for the lifting issue.
For those who have mentioned trouble starting their Honda, I keep the gas fresh and use Seafoam when there is trouble. I had previously bookmarked the following thread dealing with the carburetor on the Honda 2000i. Archived, but still on line and worth the read if you're having trouble with starting or running.
