Earthmover Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hi, Any one use a Honda generator like the one mentioned above ?. I have one which when I try to start it, it runs for 10 to 15 seconds then stops, something that as not happened before, at least not after a couple of attempts (adjusting the choke). It has stood for Two to Three months and i Think perhaps a carburettor jet is blocked ?. Anyone know of a PFA drawing download and where a service kit can obtained. The oil, air filter and spark plug have all been changed. along with the fuel. I have the Honda book that came with the genny but only shows external bits and a few Do's and Don'ts . Cheers Em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I don't know what a PFA drawing is, but there's a Honda EU1000i Owner's Manual .pdf file here https://www.absolutewaterpumps.com/media/blfa_files/31ZT3610.pdf and a GOOGLE-search on "honda eu1000i diagrams" retrieves links to various drawings relating to this generator. https://tinyurl.com/2p94b9wf This link should be as good as any https://www.hondalawnparts.com/oemparts/c/honda_power_equipment_generator/parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthmover Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thankyou Witzend, Yes, there is a drain pipe off the bottom of the carb bowl. If I undo the drain plug will it drain just the Carb bowl or the fuel tank as well?. Regards Em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I only ran enough thru to see if the fuel was contaminated but can't remember it being a problem when bowl was removed 10 yrs ago now. Just undo the drainer an see how long it runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthmover Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 Hi Ocsid Good to see your paying attention, PFA, PVA , I was close !. The F and V are next to one another Diagonally. Thankyou.. Cheers Em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthmover Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 Thankyou Witzend, Yes i did the same to check for contamination in the bowl, but when i changed the fuel completely i tipped it straight out of the tank. On refilling the tank i seem to remember having to pull the starter cord to get the fuel to flow and get rid of any possible air lock. Regards Em.
