Gregory Wolfe thanks

Plucky Piwakawaka drain your tank also.

the Observer I don't think it really matters that much you can get a pretty good idea watching the video.... nothing to scientific and it does work very well.... thanks!

ghostdog662 you didn’t learn how to change oil? It is titled how to change oil and drain fuel...sorry there was to much info for you! I am not a professional KZfaq video maker!

1ROADKING I was being sarcastic about learning alot outside of what the video title suggested. It's a good thing!

ghostdog662 Thanks 👍🏼

sorry none yet

Ab Abner You should still drain carb...

its not a peacock....jesus!thats a type of bird.ITS A PETCOCK

Boomer was a good boy in Doggy heaven now. Thanks!!

If you have the all the oil completely drained out it probably doesn’t hurt to tip it over to drain fuel out of tank... you will still want to drain the fuel out of the carburetor though...Hope that helps

Thanks for the info.

For an easier way and avoiding getting oil into the cylinder when you turn it over, which causes a LOT of smoke, watch this short video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8enhpxnv9Kbd2g.html

Thanks...i use it now too! love it

AFTER installing the 0-30W Amsoil, there is almost NO need for the Choke. As soon as it starts, I move the choke to OFF.

wow!! you cant get it anywhere?

SpockMccoy do they have Home Depots in your state? They sell TruFuel in the gray can for 4 stroke engines. It has no ethanol and no pre mix ratios for two stroke engines.

find a local boat marina and go to it. People who own boats will not put ethanol fuel in their boats.

+Brad Davies Your change rate is a bit excessive, even if it probably doesn't hurt. You generally should change the oil every 25 hours or so. Also, whichever brand you choose, make sure that you're using *synthetic* oil. Since your EU2000i generator is relatively new (well, 6 months ago anyway), you should make sure that you've properly broken in your (check the guides on the net).

+BionicBadgerFromHell After reading about all types of engines it appears that the most wear occurs in the early stages of use. The main culprit of damage in the life of a generator is metal particles. Very small particles do the most damage. I figure to keep it lasting a life time that eliminating as much particulate as possible would prolong the life of the unit. I have read several theories on the net about proper break-in. There was one that very complex. I have heard to run conventional oil for the break-in period because synthetic is too slick and does not allow proper wear in the beginning. I have searched Honda's materials and they say nothing about break-in. Thank you for your advice and take a look at this guys procedure and let me know what you think. burningman.kowtow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=323

For those particulates, and general use, you might look into one of those magnetic dip sticks you can buy on Amazon or other places. They have a magnet at the end that attracts ferrous particulates. I think you're right about the oil in the break-in being used for particulates. It's probably also to help break-in the seals. Hmm, not sure about the conventional oil being too slick for the break-in. That could be a good reason. From what I gathered, it's mostly suggested because you'll be tossing the oil after the short break-in period is complete; synthetic would be just a waste. Neither reason impacts the other, so we might as well just stick with it. After the break-in, full synthetic is suggested. That guide on the site you linked to looks pretty accurate. A lot of the info is based on BobTheOilGuy's info as well, which is a really good resource. Plus, the guy writing the guide is probably running his genny almost all the time in pretty harsh conditions at that event.

unnecessary...cant hurt...waste of time and money though

you can leave the oil in up to a year regardless of hours.I have friend whp is an oil engineer.those oil intervals are bogus.if this item had a filter you could leave it for two years.its age that does the damage not use.

Turn the fuel off and you shouldn’t need to drain the gas tank…just add some fuel stabilizer… use alcohol free gas and you shouldn’t have a problem… If you really want to drain it tip it upside down when you have the oil drained out and pour it out. I leave mine full so there is no condensation problem.

yes...it didn't teach you how? sorry....did you actually need to see real oil draining?

welllllll ya you idiot what a farce.

Why did you watch then?

@@1ROADKING So I don't have find the manual, no idea where it is. Waste of a video buddy. 0/10.

@@cafedeadbeef83 thanks for wasting my time… because it clearly shows you how to change the oil and drain the gas… pretty sad that you can’t figure it out…get a life and don’t be a Richard
