Had to laugh. My neighbor has a Honda e-2000 exactly like mine that he
uses for camping. He saw me out earlier trying to get mine started but
left before I tried the hair dryer trick.

He called me a half hour ago to see if I ever got mine running.
I told him yes, and what I did.

He was psyc'd because he had discovered that his wouldn't start either.
He did the same trick with his wife's hair drying and after a few
minutes pulled the cord and his fired right up!

Now he thinks I am a small engine expert, which I am not.
