What the #$%#&*
 
Just lost power for 2 hrs. Got my new expensive Honda EU2000i generator out from it's nice cosy warm spot in the den and struggled with it for at least an hour. Had it going a half dozen times but it would surge a bit and then die. Checked my manual and I was doing everything right. Fiddled with the choke to no avail. I had it running in January no problem. Back to the Honda dealer as soon as the storm lets up...tomorrow or Thursday.
I paid the big money for this model to get reliability.

You really shouldn't be commenting on the language skills of other
posters, Alex, since yours are barely at the junior high school level.

"Cosy" is a Briticism of sorts. It is the British way of spelling the
word "cozy" as used in the United States. Since Canada uses the Queen's
English, spelling "cozy" "cosy" is neither unusual nor incorrect.

Probably did not turn off the fuel and let generator runout all the fuel in
the lines. Lesson learned the hard way. Had to dip and clean the carb.

Maybe commenting on having a generator stored in a cosy/ cozy spot in the
den. Most store it in the garage or shed. No fuel smells that way.

I did exactly as the manual indicated...nothing less and nothing more.
Closing the little vent on the fuel cap is supposed to take the place of an actual fuel tap.

That may be right. No vent. If in doubt, take the cap off.

I bought the generator brand spanking new in early January. The counter guy filled the tank and was supposed to have test run the unit.
I brought it home and a few weeks later started it up and ran it for between 5 and 10 minutes.
As suggested by the salesman, I planned to remove the 2 month old gas this month and put fresh hi test in and run the unit for a bit. The guy recommended I do this every two months.

True North[_2_] March 14th 18 02:19 AM

Come to think of it...I didn't see him open the sealed box, remove the motor and put the gas in....as I had paid $50 For the pre delivery inspection.
Did he give me bad gas....Maybe a returned unit that someone had and decided to upgrade? Even a cynical person like me can get crazy dreaming up all the potential causes. Maybe it's simply a defective part...gas cap, plug, choke etc.

I try not to store anything with fuel in it, particularly if it is
E10. I suppose you can use a stabilizer but I think dry is better.
I am also not sure there is any advantage of high test in a low
compression engine.
I am actually pretty happy with the propane conversion. No gasoline at
all.
On a little genny like that a 20# bottle would not be unreasonable and
if you got a bigger one it would run a real long time. On my 5.5KW I
figure the propane burn is about 1.6x that of gasoline gallon for
gallon.

I try to only run regular gasoline through my Honda. If I can't find rec fuel and have to use E-10 I run it dry and don't leave any in the tank.

Same here. 87 octane regular. Only thing I do is try to remember to
put some Sabil in the gas jug, sorta per the directions before I fill up
the generator. You never know how long it may not be used.

I've mentioned this before but the little Honda I have started up and
ran fine with 5 year old fuel in it. Probably not recommended, but it
fired up and burned through almost a gallon of the old fuel with no
problems.

Try "Sta-bil" instead of "Sabil". Tying too fast because I am all

Yes, I knew about that gas cap lever. I even loosened the gas cap in case that 'vent' was clogged. I opened and closed it several times..same as turning the off and on control...moving the choke to the starting position and trying to move it around thinking that it was stored in a reasonably warm spot and might not need full choke. Oh yeah, I also did as they suggested with the Econo mode rocker switch. (Off position while starting) Hope the repair guys arn't too busy.


Turn the run knob to off, crank a few times, then back to on. Try it then.

The bad thing about regular crap is the alcohol and hydrogenization of the fuel. it breaks down quickly.

That might be an issue I've avoided with the little Honda I have. I
mentioned several times here that it ran fine with 5 year old gas in it
treated with Sta-bil. However, I've always paid attention to the load
it has, never trying to exceed 6 or 7 amps, because it can deliver that
at 121-124 volts ac and still maintain 60 hz on the "Eco" setting. It
will run overnight on about a gallon of gas that way.

It could be that if I tried to power stuff up to it's full 13.5 amp
(continuous) capacity, it might exhibit lost power at full speed on the
old gas.

I ran a large, built in microwave yesterday. It pulled more than the
Honda's continuous rating ... about 14.5 amps, but it handled it ok.

IIRC, the eu2000i is rated at 1600 watts continuous and 2000 watts peak.

The ethanol he is referring to will be in high test too, usually the
full 10%. The E-0 (REC90) has a higher octane than regular 87 but that

I've no idea why the dealer told Donnie to use high test. The book is very clear about using regular
gas with ethanol no greater than 10%.

Latest issue of American Motorcyclist Magazine has an article:

"The ethanol industry is pushing federal regulators and lawmakers to approve the use of E30 fuel in
non-flex fuel vehicles.

E30 contains 30 percent ethanol and 70 percent gasoline, by volume.

Most of the fuel sold in the United States contains 10 percent ethanol (E10). E15 fuel is approved
for use in 2001 and newer passenger cars, but not in any motorcycles. Blends with higher ethanol
content are restricted to flex-fuel vehicles—that is, vehicles specifically designed to operate on
fuel with high-ethanol content.

The sale of E30 for use in non-flex-fuel vehicles would require a waiver from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency.

Emily Skor, CEO of the ethanol group Growth Energy, said she wants cities like Chicago, Dallas and
Atlanta to follow the lead of South Dakota and permit the widespread availability of E30 fuel.

The AMA opposes the spread of fuel blends containing more than 10 percent ethanol because confusing
labels and lackluster enforcement can lead to misfueling, which can cause engine damage and void
warranties.

Studies show that most drivers and riders shop first for price. Because ethanol blends are usually
cheaper at the pump, motorcyclists could inadvertently fill their bikes’ tanks with illegal fuel
that could damage their engines and fuel systems and also void manufacturer warranties."

Boat people are having the same problem. There are no outboards right
now that say they will burn E15. This is just a huge boondoggle to
benefit Cargil and ADM. Unfortunately the phony "environmentalists"
who really just hate oil are on board in spite of the fact that
ethanol is worse for the environment than petrol.
My prediction that we will run out of water long before we run out of
oil is starting to be more apparent. I know it is popular to blame
earthquakes on fracking but nobody mentions the fact that they have
also pumped the Ogalalla down to the point that they are having the
equivalent of underground sink holes around the midwest as the earth
is moving to consolidate because the water that was holding things up
was pumped out onto corn fields from Oklahoma to Minnesota.

Honda generator owners will have the problem also! Book is very specific - no more than 10% ethanol.

Bingo! That's what the sales guy was getting at. Now that our last
refinery (Nova Scotia) is long gone they bring in boat loads from some
American refinery...Probably whatever they can get a deal on.

The ethanol he is referring to will be in high test too, usually the
full 10%. The E-0 (REC90) has a higher octane than regular 87 but that
does not mean all high test is E-0

I've no idea why the dealer told Donnie to use high test. The book is
very clear about using regular
gas with ethanol no greater than 10%.

Latest issue of American Motorcyclist Magazine has an article:

"The ethanol industry is pushing federal regulators and lawmakers to
approve the use of E30 fuel in
non-flex fuel vehicles.

E30 contains 30 percent ethanol and 70 percent gasoline, by volume.

Most of the fuel sold in the United States contains 10 percent ethanol
(E10). E15 fuel is approved
for use in 2001 and newer passenger cars, but not in any motorcycles.
Blends with higher ethanol
content are restricted to flex-fuel vehicles—that is, vehicles
specifically designed to operate on
fuel with high-ethanol content.

The sale of E30 for use in non-flex-fuel vehicles would require a waiver

This is not my theory, I am just relating things more qualified people

I bet you even think your water supply is safe.
I also understand how these things impacts my state.
It appears you went to college back during the Johnson administration

I have a relative who is a licensed and board certified environmental

questions about such, I'll ask her.

There have been many predictions that we will "run out of water," and
science news programs about the Ogallala Aquifer and its various
impacts. I've watched some of them. Usually, I don't watch pop science

are fine everywhere. Has the static level been checked lately and
where was it 20 years ago?

Bingo! That's what the sales guy was getting at. Now that our last
refinery (Nova Scotia) is long gone they bring in boat loads from some
American refinery...Probably whatever they can get a deal on.

The ethanol he is referring to will be in high test too, usually the
full 10%. The E-0 (REC90) has a higher octane than regular 87 but that
does not mean all high test is E-0

I've no idea why the dealer told Donnie to use high test. The book is
very clear about using regular
gas with ethanol no greater than 10%.

Latest issue of American Motorcyclist Magazine has an article:

"The ethanol industry is pushing federal regulators and lawmakers to
approve the use of E30 fuel in
non-flex fuel vehicles.

E30 contains 30 percent ethanol and 70 percent gasoline, by volume.

Most of the fuel sold in the United States contains 10 percent ethanol
(E10). E15 fuel is approved
for use in 2001 and newer passenger cars, but not in any motorcycles.
Blends with higher ethanol
content are restricted to flex-fuel vehicles—that is, vehicles
specifically designed to operate on
fuel with high-ethanol content.

The sale of E30 for use in non-flex-fuel vehicles would require a waiver
from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency.

Emily Skor, CEO of the ethanol group Growth Energy, said she wants
cities like Chicago, Dallas and
Atlanta to follow the lead of South Dakota and permit the widespread
availability of E30 fuel.

The AMA opposes the spread of fuel blends containing more than 10
percent ethanol because confusing
labels and lackluster enforcement can lead to misfueling, which can
cause engine damage and void
warranties.

Studies show that most drivers and riders shop first for price. Because
ethanol blends are usually
cheaper at the pump, motorcyclists could inadvertently fill their bikes’
tanks with illegal fuel
that could damage their engines and fuel systems and also void manufacturer warranties."

Boat people are having the same problem. There are no outboards right
now that say they will burn E15. This is just a huge boondoggle to
benefit Cargil and ADM. Unfortunately the phony "environmentalists"
who really just hate oil are on board in spite of the fact that
ethanol is worse for the environment than petrol.
My prediction that we will run out of water long before we run out of
oil is starting to be more apparent. I know it is popular to blame
earthquakes on fracking but nobody mentions the fact that they have
also pumped the Ogalalla down to the point that they are having the
equivalent of underground sink holes around the midwest as the earth
is moving to consolidate because the water that was holding things up
was pumped out onto corn fields from Oklahoma to Minnesota.


Gosh...geology, too. How are you on planetary mechanics?

This is not my theory, I am just relating things more qualified people
than both of us say. If you actually paid attention to anything but
MSNBC or Russia Russia Russia, you would have heard something about
the draining of the Ogalalla and it's effect on the geology.
I bet you even think your water supply is safe.
I also understand how these things impacts my state.
It appears you went to college back during the Johnson administration
and then said you knew everything so you did not have to study
anything after that.


I have a relative who is a licensed and board certified environmental
engineer. She knows quite a bit about natural water supplies. If I have
questions about such, I'll ask her.

There have been many predictions that we will "run out of water," and
science news programs about the Ogallala Aquifer and its various
impacts. I've watched some of them. Usually, I don't watch pop science
programs and then regurgitate a bit of them here for the hoi polloi.


So now the depletion of the Ogalalla aquifer is just pop science and
the world is not having problems with water supplies in general.
Maybe you should talk to your relative more often.

No, I think the "science" you present is pop science that is readily
available on TV.

I see a lot of talk about global warming on TV too. Does that mean it
is just pop science?

Simply because there are some fairly serious reporters talking about
water shortages on TV does not mean it is not true. I suppose you
heard about the situation in the western US? The big lakes are down
hundreds of feet but I guess that is just pop science. The South
Africans are pretty much out of water. Again, just pop science and one
of the biggest disputes between Jordan and Israel is over water. But
that is pop too I guess.
It is a documented fact that in my lifetime the static water level in
the Ogalalla is down over 300 feet. You can deny it or even try to
minimize the effect but it is still true.
