If someone is having repeated carb problems with a Honda EU2xxx which are rectified by cleaning, odds are they need to change their maintenance habits (to include fuel stabilizers, carb drain and/or run-dry with fuel cut-off). Without a change, the problem will continue regardless of make and model of generator.

FWIW:

I've never cleaned the carb on my 30 year old Honda EX650 that we take camping for battery charging.

I use regular ethanol gas in it. It starts on 1st or 2nd pull after sitting "any amount of time" (is sat for ~2 years once, a few years ago, and still started right up). Sometimes I have Stabil in it's gas and sometimes I don't.

I guess even Honda isn't making them like they used to.

I believe you missed my point: the OP has a fuel or maintenance issue that's causing his Honda to constantly need carb cleaning. Until he identifies the source of his fuel or maintenance problem, the same issue will probably crop up with any make and model generator he chose to use. Whatever he is doing wrong, the vast majority of us with old and new Hondas are not.

Honda still makes them right :)
