We have used the kzfaq.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

How long will this generator last with natural gas? Longer or shorter than if used with gasoline? Is the 1 in the video immediately ready to disconnect from propane and run on natural gas?

@FireplugKLR 4 жыл бұрын

Andrew Borntrager it connects and disconnect very simple and quickly. I have not tested mine running down a full tank, but I found this on the web: Propane has approximately 10% less BTU's than gas. If your generator will run 8 hours (and that rating for the Honda assumes 1/4 loaded or 500 watts average per hour) on 1 gallon regular unleaded than it should run about 7+ hours on propane. But there is a caveat. Sometimes Propane is actually more efficient than the gas if the jets are properly adjusted for your elevation. So if you have a 4 gallon propane tank (20 lbs) that would give you 28+ hour run time at 1/4 loading. ETA: I should mention that if you are running on propane that you may not achieve full load wattage. This would mean that instead of 2000 watts you might only achieve 1800 watts.

I have watched more recent vids of this mod and they don't drill 2 holes. Is the 2nd one just for a kill switch? Not sure why this is needed as most show just turning off the tank valve and then just burning the fuel out of the hose, then unplugging the quick release. A kill switch would leave fuel in the hoses, etc.

@FireplugKLR 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, it is for the kill switch. Used mainly in between uses, but when storing the generator, you would always drain the fuel.

The choke is not needed, as pressing the spring button on the regulator acts as the choke. When the generator overloads, it trips the breaker but the engine keeps running.

I think you put the air filter spacer in the wrong spot. You leave the metal bush in place and the spacer goes over the bolt behind the filter housing. This is to raise it the same distance out as the gas mixer did the other side.

@HutchMountain 4 жыл бұрын

FireplugKLR did the install correctly in 2018. However, as pointed out, all NEW kits place the nylon spacer BEHIND the air-box rather than inside the air-box. Also, the metal bushing is no longer removed. Look at 7:21 thru 7:34 - do not remove this metal bushing. Instead at 8:34 the bolt should now be inserted into the air-box with the nylon spacer BEHIND the air-box. **Recap** 7:21 thru 7:34 - do not remove the metal bushing. Place nylon bushing behind air-box at 8:34. 8:42 thru 8:49 is already to be completed at 8:34. As always, read the instructions for the most current info. Reach out with any question!

How is the gas flow governed? Is it just a constant flow running lean, then rich as the existing throttle is opened and closed???

@jonsmith2217 5 жыл бұрын

On most propane applications there's a line from the carburetor over to the one way pancake valve. And the pancake valve to the regulator going into the propane tank. And the carburetor pulls from the pancake one way valve what it needs and if the motor shuts down and loses vacuum the pancake valve stops the flow of propane or natural gas. So that way it won't just keep filling the motor up and propane or natural gas out the air cleaner causing a potential fire hazard. The propane specialist I have worked with say they want a motor on propane to run lean they say they don't want you to run propane to rich. And several propane Specialists I've worked with said this to me. Because I put adjustable dial knob regulator after my standard regulator on the tank so I can adjust the flow of propane for maximum fuel efficiency. And it's very simple to set it it's just a King Kooker adjustable dial knob regulator I installed it in line. I was very cautious a few years ago of running a Generator to lean on propane. The propane professionals tell me they've never heard of it out there running on propane running too lean and burning the motor up. It's not like gasoline where you can lean it out and burn up the engine. because I've done that before racing on gasoline.

You are right it does add more propane once the throttle flap is opened up and engine speed increases.

I like to thank you for doing a real Nice, well explain video...... I have a one Fear, Yes .. Fear .. about this type of Fuel conversion. What happens if the generator decides to stall or someone forgot to turn off the propane source. Wont the gas seep out through the air filter and create a possible Big Problem. Factory Engines with built in fuel conversion usually have a electric fuel solenoid built in to them, so when the engine stops it automatically turns the fuel Off.... One example. when your in the process of firing up the propane Grill. you turn the gas on and that manual push spark Igniter Doesn't work the first few half a dozen try's. a gas pocket forms. Then on the 8th try it Ignites, This . Whoosh . of a Fire ball comes out of you grill, you heart skipped for a second, but you'll lived. The grill situation happen all in a time of 10 to 15 seconds. For a generator stall, it can be easily many minutes before someone gets to the generator, in that time a lot of gas has flowed out creating a potential Hazard. We go from a Whoosh situation to a Boom ! .. I don't mean to scare any one. So Please be care full. If you are using these conversion kits.

@nickkatchmar9687 4 жыл бұрын

This is not the case. The regulator passes gas through it ONLY when it is being drawn from the vacuum of the carburetor. Once the motor shuts off the carb seizes to draw vacuum and the reg stops the flow of gas. So when the engine is off, little to no fuel is being delivered to the genny. Even if it was passing a bit of fuel through the system, your genny should be outside! Thus eliminating any possibility of explosion. If you store the genny indoors please remember to disconnect the fuel supply and leave propane cylinders outside.

Ok so you switched it over to propane but my question , is the upper valve train and head built for this very dry fuel? Most propane engines have different valve metals and different valve seats that won't crack from dry hot propane. see a gas engine also lubes and cools the intake where propane does not, you could be actually shortening the gas engines life. I lived off grid for 12 years using a 1100ui Honda and it lasted 9 years changing the oil 3 times a week, it only held 1/3 of a liter but eventually ring wear caused it to use oil fouling the plug. I still have it somewhere.

@jonsmith2217 5 жыл бұрын

Did you run on gasoline or propane for 9 years? And everyone says running on propane the motor will last two to three times longer. My 2200 watt suitcase style Sportsman dual fuel generator running on propane is super clean spark plug is always new and so is the oil. I only have to change the oil often because I like to keep it in excellent shape. And I like things to last close to forever. And when propane comes out of the bottle it's super cool. You are right gasoline cools and lubricates. but gasoline fouls up spark plugs and gives carburetor problems eventually giving problems which cost time and money. And you have to run a fuel additive in gasoline in the winter and when you're storing it. I've always had good luck out of the Dollar Tree and used there gasoline fuel additive more for alot less. I've used those expensive name brand fuel additives before but did not see any difference in stabil and seafoam overpriced additive. Every bigger house or commercial generator is usually propane or natural gas. They do not make them in gasoline except for the portable units.

Also in my area I found a place that is $2 a pound cash only for that price. and the date is April 21st 2020. And I sell propane tanks on the side I've got plenty of them good-looking tanks and constantly get them 20 lb tanks. I have a few more other sizes of Tanks also for sale. My tanks are used, mostly 20lb with the new valve overfill protection device triangle valve, in date code so anyone will fill it. And if someone buys several of them I'll cut a little stronger deal. And when the date goes out in years of course you can trade the propane tank in for a new date. Stock up prep on Propane fuel the never goes bad and it'll almost last close to Forever. And there is no prepping the Propane fuel like it is gasoline or diesel. I had one full propane tank of fuel that was about over 25 years old. With the things that's happening today with this plague in the world the government can shut off Natural Gas, electricity, water and more but the one fuel they can't shut off is propane. And propane can run a generator, heat, gas grill driveway sealer, Little Buddy Heater, small engines, a car because I've done it and more. Now keep in mind when I run a car on propane I have a universal propane kit for emergencies. I ran the car but it would only go about 11 miles an hour because I couldn't feed it enough volume of propane on the V6 motor to make it go on home because the fuel pump went out on the car but it got it home. And if someone buys some propane tanks off me I'll show em my custom made I made it rain proof generator box and how you run propane on small engines in a car and to start gasoline engines to help get them started on propane and run them in an emergency on propane and how to tune them on propane for fuel efficiency. You can also put a adjustable propane regulator on your propane Honda for maximum fuel efficiency I did it to my 2200 watt Chinese propane inverter generator.

Sportsman Dual Fuel 2200 generator $549 Honda Generator $1000+ Tax and then the $300 dual fuel upgrade kit for a total of $1300 :o/ I could buy two dual Sportsman 2200 generator at $549 for a total of 4400 watts and on $1,100 :o)

to @@ELEVOPR the honda Eu series are in a different class of generator... as a tech I have done extensive testing on gens... the honda eu 1000i, 2000i, 2200i, 3000i, 6000i, and the new 7000i have better clean power output than the rest of the inverter units out there as of 01/2019... not saying that some day some one will come out with a better gen.. but will all the expensive electronics gear I have... why not get the best power?? and now days there is way more sensitive electronics in rv units as well... buy what you want... but my choice was honda eu2200i

@@FireplugKLR Sorry about that. I was not trying to say you were selling this product. I just found it a tad bit expensive, for rubber hoses, regulators and connections. I guess it' the neatest looking conversion out their and looks like quality as well, So It may not be all that bad? Well, I was able to pick up a Honda EU2200i for 700 brand new in the box from a friend that bought two but only used one sold me the other new one "Boxed" for cheap because I have done favors for him in the past and helped him out at times. For that price "$700" I snatched it up, then pimped it out with an Aluminum Oil Filter cap that has a Magnet and hour digital meter inside the unit on a bracket as well. For that price "$700”, I will most likely do the Upgrade conversion to try fuel. Now it's more affordable :o) Also picked up a Sportsman 1000 For Power tools I used on the go for small jobs :o) Love the Sportsman, very light, quite and runs clean.

Do any of you Honda generator owners use your generator full time off grid running a heat Source like an electric blanket for 8 to 10 hours a night in through the day some? Heat sources like electric blanket, Peter Carlo crock pot, rice cooker and more heat sources kill the inverter side of the generator. I know because my Chinese 2200 watt propane generator died. Running a heat source for 8 Zoom 10 hours a day during the winter there is a difference this is almost you could say commercial use. I just don't know if the Honda generator the inverter is bulletproof like that. What's crazy is my 1995 model 1850 watt Coleman generator on gasoline lasted for 25 years and still going. And the 1850 watt Coleman generator I run pretty hard the engine valves with rattle in it to run something and at times I would overspeed the generator just to get it to run something. You overspeed a generator in an emergency to run something the generator normally wouldn't run. But of course this little hand portable 4 stroke Coleman generator it's mostly all American made with a 139cc engine on it. and my 2200 w. Chinese inverter generator on propane didn't last a year. The Chinese generator on propane 2200 W will not make Power the motor runs but the inverter side is messed up. And everyone talks about this sine wave garbage but what's funny I used all kinds of electronics on that old 1850 watt Coleman generator but you never over speed it when you're running sensitive equipment like Electronics because it will burn the Electronics on most things up. It's amazing how old Meraki made stuff would last a lifetime and Chinese garbage today won't last Almost outside of the warranty. Please leave a comment if you use your honda off grid alot with a heat Source thank you. And people that are not off-grid or only using their generator once in awhile which of course it will last alone time when you're only using it once in awhile. When you're running it everyday is your only source of electricity it's a lot harder on it and there is a difference.

I put three together myself before these kits were available. You'll spend a lot of time hunting down parts and have lots of leftovers. Probably can save about $90 over the kit price, but if your time's worth money, just buy a kit. There are several at different prices. You usually get what you pay for, and Hitch's kit has an orifice, so you don;t have to mess around making and adjusting a needle valve. Also a heck of a nice guy who will go the mile to help you out.

@@izifaddag8221 Dude. I converted my Onan 4K genny with this same regulator and 20 feet of hose, fittings, a second stage regulator from my 2 stage regulator system off of my 1000 gallon tanks, and it was about the same $, without all his nice QD connectors, custom screened stickers, switch, etc. This is well thought out and put together. The guy should make a profit for figuring out a nice retail DIY package that any idiot can install in minutes and save having to deal with the high price of gasoline, long term storage of gasoline with additives, and the unsafe volatility of gasoline, etc. I have 7 generators including 3 of these. I'm converting at least one for the absolute ease and reliability, and cleaner air, as well as the safety factor of not having to pour gas into a hot generator. Not to mention having to go find all these parts and build it myself. Here in Commiefornia, with the commie gas tax that nobody voted for, this will save me $ and keep me from feeding the commies their extortion taxes when PG&E turns off the power so they don't get stuck with paying for damages brought on by arsonists and weather, or worse, giving our commie totalitarian governor anything when he steals PG&E from the investors who own the company, in a hostile takeover like true communist regimes do, and of course, for the $... but that is another discussion.
