Gummed Up Honda EU 2000 Gen
Almost every year I have a gummed up carburetor where it will only run at full or half choke. I have used seafoam. I have started the Gen up every three months to let it run for 15 minutes and still carb gum problems. I saw a interesting Video on youtube where I think the guy had a great plan for running carb dry before storage. I apologize if this has been covered before. On the EU 2000 (and I assume the 1000 as well) the shut off switch not only turns off the gas but also turns off the ignition which makes it impossible to run the carb dry without draining the tank. if you open up the cover on the EU2000 down at the right corner you will see a couple of plug connectors. The one with the black and green wire, disconnect it. Now when your turn the switch it will cut the fuel but not the ignition.. The EU will run for about 2 minutes and sputter then stop. Actually I am thinking about leaving it disconnected all the time... I still will run a Seafoam fuel additive to the tank. We will see how it goes next year when I go to start it up...
