Re: Which 1 Ton SRW Diesel Truck Has Highest Payload???
What’s the reason for srw, you driving it daily when not towing? Dually is much more stable when getting that heavy. I’m looking at a toyhauler that has a max weight of 17k so that would be 4K at the pin. I see guys pulling with srw 2500 rams with 32” tires, 42 footers. The ratings are all over the board with the manufactures. I think you need to look who’s towing what down the road, or go to a rodeo and see what is the most popular rig. #1 Ram, #2 Ford and not many chevys. I guess for me it would be a 450394Views0likes0CommentsRe: Honda 2000i Carb Job With Photos Must Read!!!!!
She ran it 5 days, 8hrs each. Good so far, hers is 12 years old. HofstraJet wrote: 2oldman wrote: The OP really needs to be fixed to get those pictures back.

Well, my Honda ran great for three tanks then started the stuttering again. Pulled the plug this time and it was a little wet on the threads but grey in the electrode. Cleaned it off ran good for another 3-4 tanks!! I so hate this Honda right now. This one must have been made by the same guys who make the F1 engine! A friend had hers running bad so I got it to at least run just by half opening the choke. I told her what to order, a rebuilt kit, filters etc. she decided to take it to Bliss power equipment in Sacramento. They did the ultrasonic carb clean service for $80 that included oil change. I may just do that? I may also just sell this thing!! I’m gun shy of converting it to propane, no confidence604Views0likes0CommentsRe: Honda 2000i Carb Job With Photos Must Read!!!!!
I had posted in July about just getting my eu2000i generator and it ran like ****. I ended up sending it back and was contemplating a Yamaha, I didn't as in unison they don't have as much power. The goal was to get two but after the first one with issues I decided to see what the new one would do,another Honda. New one arrived, new fuel ran good for first tank, then same bologna. Runs great with eco off and with choke half way on, with eco mode. I then pulled the oem screen mesh (wouldn't call it a filter)out and it had some crud in there, threw it away. Installed an inline filter, took the carb off cleaned all the jets, float etc. Put it back together, same chit!!! I had been communicating with Reddog1 and I went over to his place today to see if we could get this figured out. Pulled the carb, clean, clear, no issues, but still sputtering and dying without choke half on. Reddog1 pulled his carb off and it ran fine on my engine. So, it's the carb, but what's the issue? So we put both carbs side by side to compare. When we took mine off, the spring on the throttle/eco switch that's under the plastic cover where the eco switch is located was in an odd spot? When I took the carb off last time, that's where it was also. I had pulled up the diagram online before but the carb diagram doesn't show it together so I had nothing to compare until today. Reddog1's spring was in a spot between the two plastic pieces and ( I wish I had taken photos as this may be hard to visualize)had a purpose. So I took it apart and installed the spring just as it was on Reddog1. Put it together and now it ran wide open?? We pulled it apart and the part that housed the spring was too low and preventing the eco servo from moving and 3/4 throttle . pulled it off again, Added a gap so no interference, fired it up and it purred. So basically the part wasn't installed correctly (in china) and Months of aggravation. Sorry if this is hard to understand, this site is so old and adding pics is a nightmare. Maybe Reddog1 can expalin it better604Views0likes0CommentsRe: Yamaha EF2000iS Generators
I'm ok with doing that, although I did empty the tank, run Seafoam through it. Ran great for 2 tank fulls, (2gal). Like I mentioned early, this seems to be a common issue, especially in California with **** fuel. Will see how it feel about this on Monday.

I used 87 when this started. A mechanic in another forum recommended 91 because when there's ethanol in the fuel your 87 is less. I pulled the plug, it's running lean. Cap has been adjusted half way, 1/4 as some have suggested, no help. Only runs good with half choke. Another guy had the same problem, the Honda dealer couldn't figure it out? I'll pull cover off to check inline fuel filter. We can't be down a week or two. This is new and the benefit with Amazon I can get two Yamahas within two days. Honda isn't want it use to be across the board imo. I've owned over 12+ Moto's and cars power equipment in the past is why I went back. There's too many issues with the fuel/carbs with Honda. Not as many with Yamaha, not as sensitive with poor fuel as we have in California (placerville) Thanks all Don605Views0likes0CommentsRe: Yamaha EF2000iS Generators
I pulled the plug again and it's actually running lean, makes sense with stumbling. I cleaned the "muffler" out. Opened the screw drained the fuel out. Took air cleaner off, put some Seafoam in carb. Fired it up, still rough. I moved the on/off gas cap switch as I've read that it opens more half closed, didn't work. Only thing that smoothed it out is half choke. I've probably read 500 threads on this issue and only one other guy had that issue with half choke. He even took it to the dealer and they couldn't figure it out? It's cool in livermore this weekend so we don't need the ac and we have enough propane to run the fridge. Wife needs it on for coffee. I've read where guys do all this stuff, modifying, using jet fuel ! And draining after every weekend out?? This isn't an old Coleman here, it's a $1000 Honda. I'll take the inline filter off (find YouTube how to get to it). If it's clear, I'm not taking the carb off. If this was a year old or I didn't maintain it, I'd understand, It's not. If this doesn't work I'll be returning both. Thanks449Views0likes0CommentsRe: Honda 2000i Carb Job With Photos Must Read!!!!!
I just posted in another thread. I bought one and ordered another to combine. Two weeks old and shuttering and stopping. I used a new plastic fuel can, new fuel, ran good for a day after cleaning out with Seafoam. Then issue again, maybe it's Californians ethanol ****? I used 91 grade. I don't see this happening with the Yamahas as much. I was thinking of converting to Propane but that's $200 per hint. I've owned many Honda products, from cars, motors and power equipment. Never any issues except the 09 civic wasn't as good. I bought through Amazon, I'll send them back. One I had to rest on my trailer tongue against the diamond plate since I couldn't set on tailgate (has to use truck) and it scratched up the plastic. Other choice was on ground with dry hay, didn't plan on returning it. Had dogs in trailer with ac on. Dry camping arggggg409Views0likes0Comments
