GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
How Often should I change the oil
? With clean
burning propane or natural gas, vs. gasoline, the oil
doesn’t get as contaminated with combustion products
but we still recommend sticking with the OEM’s required
oil change period as outlined in the Honda owner’s
manual.
What maintenance should I do
? Please consult your
OEM owner’s manual for scheduled maintenance
including valve adjustment after 1000hrs. In particular,
you should keep your air cleaner element clean and lightly
oiled. A dirty air cleaner will cause your generator to run
rough or not at all. Conversely, too much oil in your air
cleaner element will also cause the engine to run rough or
not at all. In addition, you should check hoses and fittings
for dirt, cracks and debris, and occasionally check the
spark plug to make sure it is clean and properly gaped per
the manual.

GENERAL OPERATING AND STORAGE TIPS
1.
Don’t let your generator tip over - this can lead to oil
leaking out and/or saturating the oil filter element
(chokes off air supply to unit).
2.
Don’t run your generator inside an enclosure or
with its built-in enclosure panels off - cooling air
must flow correctly inside and around unit.
3.
Let your unit cool down before putting the cover
back on.
4.
Check your propane/natural gas hose for cracks
and leaks with soapy water if you suspect a
problem.
5.
Store your generator in a garage or in-doors to keep
clean and ready to use but YOU MUST keep
propane tanks outside.

(generators and kits)
POOR STARTING TIPS
1.
Check the oil level. To do so, you do not screw the oil
stick in - just put it in then remove it and read the
level. These do not ship with oil inside.
2.
Check your air cleaner foam element to make sure it’s
not pushed into the air cleaner cover air inlet and
blocking the incoming air. See Picture 1
3.
Check that your air cleaner element is not flooded
with oil. This can happen if your generator tips over.
If it is, squeeze filter between paper towels, then
properly dispose of oily paper towels. (oily rags can
spontaneously combust in garbage or in pile - hang
until dry, then soak with water and detergent before
discarding)
4.
USE ONLY THE ORIGINAL MFG BATTERY. Check
your battery voltage especially when below 40 deg F.
If the battery voltage drops below approx. 10.4Vdc
while cranking it may not turn the engine over fast
enough to get the vacuum actuated fuel system to
allow fuel to flow. In extreme negative cold
temperatures we recommend adding a second
battery (car battery) in parallel with the generator’s
battery or jump starting with a car battery.
5.
Check that quick disconnect from hose to unit is fully
seated and locked.
6.
Do not prime it unless you are trying to pull start it. In
the event you have to pull start it, listen for slight
“hissing” sound for 3 seconds before starting when
pulling up on purge ball knob located on top of lid
inlet. This also lets you know if fuel is flowing to the
generator.
7.
If using propane,
a.
Check that propane tank connection is fully
screwed on and tight.
b.
Turn your propane tank off then back on slowly
to check/reset tank internal valve.
c.
If your propane tank tipped over, the tank valve
may freeze up. Return tank to upright position
and let it sit for a while without use to let valve
thaw and/or drain.
d.
Check that your propane tank isn’t empty, or
near empty. If you shake the tank slightly you
should hear the liquid propane slosh around a
bit.
8.
Change the spark plug. We now recommend the
Champion RC12YC gapped to .020-021 (as of
6/1/2023) inches for best starting with natural gas in
all weather conditions. Propane can start with a
larger spark gap of 0.024 - 0.026. A spark plug can
have a damaged resister inside that cannot be seen
from the outside. The generator can sometimes still
operate but it will run rough and not be able to get
over approximately ½ power before dying as the load
is increased.
9.
If your generator is connected to a remote start/stop
device through the remote port on inside the front
battery compartment, disconnect it and re-install the
Honda shorting plug back into the connector and try
to start the generator. If the generator starts and runs
fine then you know the problem is with the remote
starter.
POOR RUNNING TIPS
1.
Make sure the generator is not being run sitting flat
on the ground or hard surface. There is a clear vent
tube exiting out of the bottom of the generator that
must be open.
2.
Check that the battery strap is fastened down and not
sucked into the air intake at the back of the battery
compartment.
3.
For IMPROVED ECO MODE OPERATION - email us at
sales@genconnex.net us for our free EU7000is
upgrade kit. This is if your generator runs fine on
natural gas or propane when ECO MODE is off, but
runs rough, occasionally sputters, or even
occasionally turns off with ECO mode on. It takes
about 5 minutes to install and it solves this by re-
routing a vent tube and having you re-gapping the
spark plug.
4.
If you cannot seem to get all of the available power
out of your generator for powering your home or
equipment:
a.
check that the voltage selection switch is in the
correct position and make sure that you are not
trying to get more than half of the available
power from one of the generator’s two power
legs. This inverter generator that has two
separate inverters that are either placed in
series for 240Vac or parallel for 120Vac
operation. So, for instance if you are powering
your home, make sure you do not have
4000Watts of load on one leg and 2000Watts
on the other. Even rows of breakers in your
main panel are on one leg and odd rows are on
the other. They make your main panel this way
so a double breaker for 240Vac appliances is a
double breaker that catches both legs when
installed. The 4 prong 30/30Amp outlet on the
generators front panel has 1 Neutral prong, 1
Ground prong and two Hot prongs (leg 1 and
leg 2).
b.
make sure your fuel source has enough
capacity for the given load. For instance, if you
are trying to run 6000Watts from a 20lb BBQ
tank on a very cold day the tank will not have
enough surface area to heat and vaporize the
propane inside to match the rate the generator
is calling for. Get a bigger tank in this case or
stand the tank 1ft behind the exhaust to blow
heat at the tank.
5.
Check for shipping damage inside your generator.
Open the side door and locate the top of the engine
and look to see that the main brass pipe and Tee
fitting hanging down from the top of the generator is
not touching the top of the engine. This can happen
if the shipper had an accident and another heavy item
fell on top of the generator box causing the top metal
lid to push down into the generator. This can be
gently fixed with a large flat blade screw driver by
prying up between the top of the engine and the
bottom of the heavy duty brass fitting to get an
approximate ½” of clearance.
6.
Change the spark plug. We now recommend the
Champion RC12YC gapped to .020-021 (as of
6/1/2023) inches for best starting with natural gas in
all weather conditions. Propane can start with a
larger spark gap of 0.024 - 0.026. A spark plug can
have a damaged resister inside that cannot be seen
from the outside. The generator can sometimes still
operate but it will run rough and not be able to get
over approximately ½ power before dying as the load
is increased.
7.
If your generator turns off (and you may get an
“EOA” code and or oil light on your generator’s
display):
a.
Check that you have the correct fuel orifice
installed if your generator is hard to start and
runs very rough then turns off. It is possible to
run from natural gas with the propane orifice
installed, for instance, but it will idle very
poorly, have very little power and will shut off
after the first 10min of running or so (once
warmed up) then quickly on subsequent
attempts to run. The number on the individual
orifice bags corresponds to the drill bit size
used to make it. I.e. the #25 orifice is made
with a #25 drill bit measuring 0.149 inches.
Propane has a higher energy density than
natural gas so the holes size should be
noticeably smaller than the natural gas orifices.
b.
Make sure you have the correct temperature
orifice installed. There are 2 orifices available
(free) for natural gas and 2 orifices available for
propane. High temp, normal and low temp. If
you are running at or near 100deg F outside
then you should install the high temp orifice. If
you are running at or near 0 deg F you should
install the low temp orifice. Most installations
should not need this but it depends on your
area. See the temperature recommendations
on each orifice bag.
c.
Check that the upper air box is not cracked or
has broken open if your generator will not start
or run for very long. It is located behind the left
side door (when facing the outlets) and is to the
upper right of the main air filter box. It is
approximately soft-ball size, shaped like a clam
shell and has 4 small clips holding it together at
the corners. This damage can possibly happen
if you did not turn off the fuel as we
recommend first before turning the key off, or
for off-grid and remote start units your plumber
did not install per code a secondary lock-off
fuel solenoid. Note we now sell a lock-off
solenoid that have gas quick disconnects on
both ends so they can be easily connected to
the top inlet of the generator then connect to
your hose. It’s powered from the generator’s
un-used fuel pump wire harness so no
electrician or plumber may be needed. Click
here for our Tech note on how it’s installed.
d.
If you are using your generator above 5,000ft
you should install our free high-altitude orifice
to correct for operation in a thinner atmosphere
8.
We do not recommend running your generator inside
of any other enclosure, building or facility without
making sure to meet all town, state and federal gas
and fire codes. We also do not recommend this or
changing the airflow into or out of the exhaust with
exhaust extensions that are not professionally
designed and tested for this specific generator. Note
all of these issues can be dangerous a person’s
health, and cause poor running (and it may be
sporadic).
a.
If you are operating inside of a shed, garage or
building that space can fill with carbon
monoxide and most importantly become a
death trap. It may also re-route some of the
exhaust back to the inlet and cause poor
running.
b.
If the shed’s air inlet is too close to the exhaust
port it can re-route some of the exhaust back to
the inlet and cause poor running.
c.
Modifying the exhaust or removing it can
change the back pressure and significantly
change the engines performance or ability to
run

6.
Pull the starter cord faster. Too slow a pull will not
create enough vacuum in the system to allow the
fuel to flow through the vacuum actuated internal
regulator.
Change the spark plug. A spark plug can have a damaged
resister inside that cannot be seen from the outside.
The generator can sometimes still operate but it will
run rough and not be able to get over approximately
½ power before dying as the load is increased.
POOR RUNNING TIPS
1.
If a EU2000i made roughly between 2017 and 2018
is running rough or turns off, change the rubber
boot around the spark plug cap. Honda put out a
service bulletin mentioning that under certain
conditions th boot can become conductive and
partially or fully short out the spark plug.
2.
Check for shipping damage inside your generator.
3.
For EU2200i generators made starting in 2021,
make sure the pink vent tube just below the large
side door is not clogged.
4.

Trouble Shooting
GENERATOR WONT START
OR RUNS VERY ROUGH
(All generators)
WONT START ON NATURAL GAS
1.
Check that you have correct fuel orifice installed. We
supply both propane and natural gas orifices. The
orifice with the largest hole is for Natural Gas.
Actually remove the orifice in the generator and
compare to make sure it was sent to you as requested
at the factory.
2.
If you generator has the top 1”primer ball do not pull
up for more than 3 seconds or you can flood the
engine with fuel. If you do this, disconnect the hose
from the generator and turn the engine over by hand a
few times, or just wait 5 minutes for the prime charge
to dissipate out through the air cleaner. Re-connect
and prime for 3 seconds again then pull or push
button to start.
3.
Check your spark plug gap. For natural gas we have
found that a gap of .020-.021 (as of 6/1/2023) is the
best for starting in all weather conditions. Natural gas
ignites better with a slightly higher spark temperature
than gasoline or propane so a smaller gap can help.
4.
Check that your natural gas hose is as short as
possible for the job. The longer the hose, the more air
will be in it when you first connect it up so it will take
more time to pull start or key start as it will not run
until the gas/air mixture works through. We
recommend not using a hose longer than 12 feet and
not oversizing the diameter such that it’s bigger than
needed. It could take 8-10 pulls to start with a 20 foot
hose, where is may still take 5-8 pulls the first time you
connect up with a shorter 12foot hose.
WONT START ON PROPANE
1.
Check that you have correct fuel orifice installed. We
supply both propane and natural gas orifices. The
orifice with the smaller hole is for Propane. Actually
remove the orifice in the generator and compare to
make sure it was sent to you as requested at the
factory.
2.
If you generator has the top 1”primer ball do not pull
up for more than 3 seconds or you can flood the
engine with fuel. If you do this, disconnect the hose
from the generator and turn the engine over by hand a
few times, or just wait 5 minutes for the prime charge
to dissipate out through the air cleaner. Re-connect
and prime for 3 seconds again then pull or push
button to start.
3.
DO NOT use our propane hose with/regulator in
series with any other regulator. If you are connecting
to a large storage tank (vs stand alone BBQ tank) your
propane dealer or installer will have either installed a
two-stage regulator on the tank to get the propane to
household ½” psi pressure, or will have installed a
primary stage regulator on the tank to reduce the
pressure to 10-15psi then a second ‘final stage’
regulator on your house to get the pressure further
down to ½” psi as used by all appliances. DO NOT
connect the generator to the mid point at 10-15 psi or
else you will have uncontrolled propane leaking
through the generator which could combust causing
serious injury or death. The hoses with regulators we
sell are all designed to operate ONLY from high tank
pressure and CANNOT be used as a final stage
regulator by attaching to the intermediate pressure of
10-15psi. The generator may run but it will run very
poorly and this could damage the generator.
RUNS VERY ROUGH ONCE STARTED
1.
Check the air cleaner element to make sure it’s not
overly dirty or clogged. If your generator tipped over
too far the engine’s oil can come out through the
crankcase vent and saturate the paper or foam air
cleaner element. If this happens you will need to get a
new air cleaner element. Also check that the cleaning
element is where it is supposed to be see picture 1.
Route through protected lined
hole with wire bundle
and cut to 2” on other side.

This is a solid billet-aluminum machined replacement for the Honda
EU7000is upper air box cover. It bolts directly to the EU7000is main
carburetor studs with NO MORE CLIPS! It has the same profil to seal to
the original inner air box half with its gasket. This kit comes with
standoffs and bolts for mounting, a hose clamp for the crankcase
breather tube, and an anti-dive screen for installing in the lower air box
under the Honda foam filter. This keeps the foam filter from diving into
the incoming air stream which causes overly rich operation. This kit will
still work even if your inner air box is missing a clip or landing.
Works with all version EU7000is
NO CLIPS EVER AGAIN!
