I found one of these by a dumpster about 4 years ago. The beach life guard threw it away because it wouldn’t start, I took it home and rebuilt the carb and replaced the rubber isolated feet. It has worked fine ever since.

Nice upgrades. I'm getting all of them. The cover is not going to hide the generator as it shows the known profile very well, but it doesn't have the Honda Logo. The hour meter and the oil stick are the two best. Good show.

Slip a piece of shrink tubing on the wire first and cinch down the wire end with heat without using any zip ties.

At the price of Honda Generators, there should already be an hour gauge installed from the factory!!

[RonKris]

I might write on the 'silver' cover "sewage dump tank".

GOOOD VIDEO, NO NONSENSE AND INFORMATIVE!

I would like to know how many people end up with loose magnet inside the engine after some time off use.

I would’ve drilled a small hole adjacent or mirrored of the pickup wire hole and put the wire through that. Much cleaner job than what that company recommended. Do cha think?

[BladeRunner-tdbe]

This was well done. Three of the upgrades interested me. The one that didn't was the protective cover. I'll just wrap mine in an old blanket or moving pad if I think it's needed. Cheers!

You can get a metal bracket that bolts right up to the air cleaner bolts. I stuck the same hour meter to that metal bracket and looks like it was factory installed. I used 3M 2 sided tape. Same generator you have too. I love it but it's not quite enough to run the A/C on my camper.

Do you have a link for that rv plug on your generator at 4:04 ? It looks like it plugs into both generator outlets at the same time .

Can you cut off the excess wire on hour meter

[v.dembsey]

1. The newest EU2200i has an hour meter in the bluetooth app so be sure of what you need.
2. These straight funnels don't really solve anything. They just bring the terrible fill angle outward plus you will overfill even more oil than normal when you fill up the funnel. Skip all of that and just tip the generator back and pour 13.5oz to 14oz of oil directly into the fill oil and then level the generator. Be precise because any excess oil will drain out when you level it.
3. A useful funnel is a plastic screw-in flexible tube they make for these.

Hey brother. How are things in Minnesota 3 years later?

Remove everything red and repaint it all black so it's not as much of a theft magnet. Then it matches your new handle.

The companion is great. It offers the 30 amp outlet. But remember running one generator gives you 13 amps, adding the second generator gives you up to 27 amps. So one generator will not give you the 30 amp

[ShowemRight]

I love my Honda EU 2200 I generator, though as I researched a little more after buying and using it, I should have gotten the Honda EU 2200 I Companion for that $100 more, to have that 30 Amp option.. I may get it next year because I want to pair my generator, and that companion model will be the one I will buy to pair it with.

I have a different tach/hour meter and haven’t bought a cover yet, I have the same oil cap/drain kit and security handle. Installing the Hutch Mountain LP kit tomorrow too. Be careful with the blue locktite near plastic, it will eat it if it touches it.

[Hambone]

Might want to mention that the handle protecter is NOT a standard Allen wrench. It is a special size. Don’t lose it, and mark it if you ever want to take that handle off.

Does yours vibrate bad in eco mode? I just bought a new 2200 Honda and mine does. I’ve read that it is normal for it to do that but I don’t like it. Any ideas how to stop it? I watched one video of guy gapping the spark plug correctly and it stopped his vibration, I tried that and it did seem to help a little, but still vibrates
