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...

2oldman, yes, one can siphon the gas, but it is a messy process. If only Honda would give us a shutoff valve like the Yamaha, we could easily dry the carb and avoid gummy crud and avoid "surging" due to bad jets and avoid expensive service calls. One would think that Honda would want to enhance the image of its generators as "user friendly," to help justify the price tag.
One can pull the bolt out of the bottom of the float bowl on the honda and drain the contents out before storage. Put the bolt back in in, leave the knob in the "off" position, choke the carb, and pull the starter 2 or 3 times to suck all the fuel out of the jets in the carb, after the float bowl has been drained. Job complete.
