- Honda EU2000i has no power coming from the outlet. Here is how you check the stator, wiring, and inverter. Testing high voltage circuits can be dangerous. Please use caution.
Tools and other recommended items:
Fluke Meter is very accurate but cost some money: amzn.to/36f3c72
Eco Meter will work fine but not as accurate:
amzn.to/38SRAHX
Newest Honda Inverter:
amzn.to/3jDJncI
Good Economy Inverter:

Thanks for all the detail. I’m having a similar problem with a ryobi 2200. Your video was the only one I could find that went into detail about anything.
Glad I could help
Thank you! We are going to try this over the weekend. Appreciate the great explanations!
I hope all goes well for you. Thank you for the comment.
Martin, great video. Nice find...I get the excitement...I'm a shadetree guy....It's a thrill to slam dunk a fix like did. Take care.
Thanks 👍
Yeah for sure good video! Glad yours was an easy fix. I gotta open money up now.
Awesome video. Thank you very much Martin. We are anchored out in Georgian Bay and woke up to make my coffe and charge the house batteries. My Honda 2000i had the dreaded no AC,ughhh. I went through your testing procedure and never guess what I found. Yep, my white AC output wire has broken right at the connector. Exact same issue. Jammed the wire back in the connector and put a little dab of JB weld to hold it in place. Just a quick fix to get power, will replace the connector when back home. Thanks again Martin, you're a life safer.
Great to hear. Thank you,
Thanks, I have a dead one also, hoping to figure it out. Thanks for the info...
Nice stuff and good advice in your notes. You are one out of 100 guys who post videos that know how to use a meter and how to troubleshoot. Lots of bad advice on TH-cam. You it it on the head about how these generators function. Get the engine running right, check your motor speed and your wiring. That will solve 95% of the problems. I wonder how many inverters are replaced needlessly. Thanks for a great video. Also, if you do lots of this work, sets of connector pins and alligator clips are made for meters to fit different size jacks.
Thank you,
Mine is having the same problem, no power coming out.
I'm gonna go through what you have shown.
Thank you for doing this video ❤️
Glad I could help
I'd be willing to bet that even if your generator did need a new inverter then it still would have been money better spent than buying a budget generator such as the Predator. I don't need to repair my machine but your video was educational nevertheless.
Very informative video. Thank you
So nice of you
Great video man thanks 👊
No problem 👍
Great job bro. I'm working on one now. The motor is running rough at idle. And I got to clean that jet under the idle screw. But the green light was on till I got it to crank
If the motor is running to slow, nothing will light. You might need to look at the idle control circuit wiring or idle control motor. Try manually increasing the speed of the motor to see if the green light turns on. If it does, than you might have a bad Idle Control Solenoid or wiring to it.
@@MartinMetregerTipsandTricks im working on it for a friend. It wouldn't crank at first. I cleaned the carburetor out and it Crunk up. But the green light stayed on for about 3 sec and went off. It was running rough when green light went off. It ran good for about 4 sec
@@thebull5099 Focus on getting running good. Then worry about the light. You might have bad gas or water in the gas. The carb has tiny holes by the throttle plate. Use the smallest wire in a torch cleaner to push through the holes. Don't force it. Striped copper wire will work too.
@@MartinMetregerTipsandTricks i got it running idle screw jet was logged. Thanks bro
Excellent video
I call that complete happiness.
Thanks for the video
You bet
Thanks a lot! With your vidéo i save 1000$ !!
That's awesome to hear. Thanks for the comment.
very good, thanks
Great video I have a ex 650
Honda suitecase and the voltage is reading very high what do you think this could be
Check this video out at 7:10 for proper governor adjust. th-cam.com/video/IgmSk2-vWNc/w-d-xo.html
There is also a screw to adjust the speed of the engine which will adjust voltage and hz. You need a meter that will read hz which should be set to 60 in the USA. Not sure what the settings would be in Europe. Good luck!
Same exact thing with mine tha
.thank you, problem solved
Glad to hear. Thanks
Great video ty
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello, mu honda eu1000i 220v 50hz has a delay to start ac output. When this problem started, when i started the denerator i had to put eco throttle button on rabit to start to generate ac power inmediately. And now after i start, i have to wait around 10 - 30 minutes to start to generate ac.
Same issue on my brand spanking new eu2200i. I got it yesterday. Kept flooding i paid out of pocket for the fix. Now i get home, have green light, no power. Tested as a ground reverse. I dont know how to fix it so im returning it
Greetings ... Because the safety, protection button on a briggs stratton 2200 inverter has gone down and it stopped generating electricity ...
Hey man my eu3000is has no power output motor runs perfect it’s in great shape and I’ve looked for lose wires ground and everything checks out but I don’t know how to diagnose inverter module or power from stator
I don't think my video will apply to the eu3000is but it will have similarities. Look for the shop manual. I found some for sale online. With the manual, it has step by step test to determine what has failed. Keep in mind that inverters rarely fail. So test twice before buying parts. Good Luck.
Thank you
Do you recall a part number for that wire? After an hour of troubleshooting your video took me right to the problem.
I could not find a part number. I believe it is discontinued. Repair the wire or maybe you can find a dealer with old generator parts. Good luck.
Thanks man 👍
Any time!
Saludos como podria conseguir el avr de ese geneeador eu2000i
Hey thanks for all the info in this vid.
Q: my output light does not come on but I do get power
Do u know what it can be
It works just the light don’t come on
Thanks in advance
Sounds like the light itself is bad. I believe the light is integrated so you can't replace it as it is part of the module. My advice is if you are getting power, then live with it.
Nice video, I had the same problem with mine, broken connector terminal on the white wire. Must be a common issue with these units.
How did you fix yours, did you solder the terminal back together? I’ve been trying to find a replacement terminal with no luck.
I did solder it back together because I couldn't find a replacement myself.
Hey Martin, I just changed my spark plug, carbeurater (old one had a broken choke lever), and air filters. When i put it back together, it will only idle at a very low RPM. No power from AC outlets. Any advice what I should check for? From looking, this is not a very common problem.
Sounds like the linkage to the idle control solenoid is not hooked up right. or the control solenoid is not getting signal to raise the idle. Try disconnecting the linkage to the throttle and manually increase that throttle and see if you get power. If you get power, focus on the idle control solenoid. They do go bad.
I have a question I recently bought a used home eu2000i and I cleaned out the fuel tank and the carburetor and the internals…. The machine runs very good my only issue is that well it starts wanting to cut out around 1600 watts and then it drops and tries to pick up watts and drops again it never shows overload….. the green light does seem to momentarily go out….. lets say I kept it at 1300 watts I would have no issue take up a notch and it starts to stumble….
Also my circuit breaker/ reset switch never pops out would it only pop out on a short circuit or would it also blow on an overload ?
I bought the 2200 but i should’ve got the companion because of the 30amp plug for my rv. Is there a kit to change out the plate containing both plugs? A plug and play kit that contains a 30 amp plug? Essentially turning my 2200 into a companion?
I don't believe so. Sorry,
hi i have question, i have the same generator but nothing turns on in the front panel. i metered the long plug behind it and i get haf voltage on everything. for the 12v i get 6 for the 240 i get 120. but i notice that the rpm is very low. and also no light infront. what can it be ? thank you
Here are a few notes:
If the motor is running to slow, nothing will light. You might need to look at the idle control circuit wiring or idle control motor.
Make sure the motor is running between 4200 to 4600 RPM. You might have to manually move the throttle on the carb to increase the RPM. Voltage will increase with RPM
Make sure you checking AC volts with your meter.
Hi Martín , my eu20i is not giving me the 2000 watts , my other one is fine so I’ve been swapping everything to the bad one and does the same so it’s not the carb or the spark or the other components . I met be thinking about the fuel pump met not be sending the right fuel pressure, I already did everything, if I swap the whole carburetor and didn’t work what ekes could it be ?
Does the generator run but no electricity or is it a no start condition? No start, I would say check for spark. If you have a good spark at the spark plug, try squirting flammable brake clean or carb clean in the carb and try to start it. if it start for a moment and dies, you might have a bad fuel pump or blocked line. check for kinks in the fuel hose. Another thing to check is smell the gas. Maybe the gas is so old, it won't burn well or someone put diesel fuel or something else in the tank. You can check compression and make sure you get at least 90 psi. Good luck.
@@MartinMetregerTipsandTricks thank you for the response , I’m in Mexico so my English may be bad . The eu20i runs well but is not giving my the juice , is not like the other one that gives me the 2000 watts entirely, when I plug a water pump it won’t make it run and goes to red or blocks it’s self , I know is not giving me the juice because the other eu20i I have it does , it gives me all the juice and I even cab run a small portable AC that starts at 1200 watts to run the compressor . The faulty eu20i is not , so I’ve tried swapping the whole carb unit from the good one to the bad one and it does the same so it’s not the carburetor , I even swap the spark plug and even placed a new spark plug and it does the same . What can it be ? The fuel pump ? Or is it the electrical components , I have no idea what can be causing that , I even tried cleaning that black screw by the carburante or that one turns it 4 times to calibrate , this plastic black screw has a tinny hole that I have cleaned already and just by placing the good carburador from the good generator I have it should give me results but it doesn’t . What I’m thinking is the fuel pump may be which is not sending the right amount of gas ?? Do you know how to access and Clean the fuel pump ? Can you help me find a tutorial for fuel pumps ? Happens that my search engines go to Spanish and in Spanish I have nothing good for tutorial on this Honda inverter model . Thanh you so much for the help . I guess you have subscribers all over the world , well you have me on the Mayan riviera and I’m glad I can follow you
How about a link to the maintenance manual for the EO2000i.

i have 2 honda eu20i one of them goes to red when demanding power and the other one its just fine and takes 2 seconds to power uip the AC , portable air conditioner, what is wrong with it? i already swap all the carburator and spàk plug and does the same, so i imagine it is an electriucal issue, can you help me? im at the mayan riviera in mexico
If both generator/inverters are the exact same, then yes you have a problem. They do make a eu2200i that has more power which can easily be mistaken as a eu2000i. If they are the same, try turning off the ECO Throttle and see if it makes a difference. Follow the test procedure within the video to make sure you don't have bad stator stator. The Idle Control Motor adjust the speed of the engine based on demand. If the Idle Control Motor is not functioning, the engine will not speed up when needed. You can try increasing the RPM by manually opening up the throttle. If the light goes green than look into replacing the Idle Control Motor. You can always try swapping parts from the good generator/inverter to isolate the issue. Good Luck,
Great Video
Can you tell us how many hours approximately are on the generator you are working on?
I believe over 300 hours. The light flashes 3 times when I start it up.
@@MartinMetregerTipsandTricks
Thank you
I have a Honda generator that the green indicator light comes on, and no power at the plug ins? Any ideas?
Hopefully you performed the test as described in the video. Closely look at the wiring behind the front panel. I found a broken terminal that caused the problem. Also, make sure the circuit breaker is not tripped. Hit the reset and check the ohms of each wire. Good luck.
Nice work
I have the same Honda, have a problem with 12 volts DC port I found 24 Volts
Any suggestions to resolve this problem?
That voltage test should be checked while hooked up to a 12 volt battery. You should see around 14.5 volts + or -
Bad rectifier module
I have an older Predator 2500 inverter that runs beautifully but doesn't power the 110v outlet. I replaced the outlet with a household outlet and it worked on a small appliance. i started it later and it didn't work again. Any suggestions?
Sounds like you might have a broken wire leading to the outlet. Try pulling on the wire in different spots to see if it wiggles or comes apart. Good luck
@@MartinMetregerTipsandTricks thanks I'll give it a try.
Can you link where you found the wiring harness
I went to a small equipment repair shop and the sold me a used harness. It was hard to find. I actually fixed my harness before I finally got a good one.
What's the reason boss, the coil doesn't exist?
What is the site you obtained the manual from?
It's been so long I can't find it. Sorry
I bought a new fuse and it says line & Load but old one doesnt say anything on it please help.
That is strange that the fuse is directional. Most are not. Line to inverter and load to outlet. Hope that helps.
Thanks so much for the great tutorial on how to test for voltage... and your wife is right that you're a nut -- you should never run a generator indoor!!!!
Glad to help
engine working prefect but no power no green light, any idea how to fix it, what is the problem please 🙂
Did your follow my step by step checks in the video? Start there. Also, make sure the idle is not too slow. Must run fast enough to turn on the green light.
hola tengo un generador igual al de tu video, es 120v. yo vivo en la argentina y la corriente es 220v. tengo alguna forma de convertirlo para 220v
That is a good question. I don't know enough about your electrical voltage to provide safe input. I'm sorry.
@@MartinMetregerTipsandTricks hola no entiendo tu idioma, me podes responder en español
@@juancosta2647 Esa es una buena pregunta. No sé lo suficiente sobre su voltaje eléctrico para proporcionar una entrada segura. Lo siento.
Wow there is obviously no throttle servo control and the engine is in overspeed condition. It would be usefull to note voltages at idle to max.
Good thing you didn't need an inverter. That box runs between $400 and $500 dollars.
Question: Where did you get the manual from?
I searched on google and found it. Unfortunately, it has since been removed. I just searched again and found this halcyontimes.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/eu2000i-repair-manual.pdf
How much would it cost to. Replace the inverter?
When I checked, it was over $400.
@@MartinMetregerTipsandTricks ok thanks. Mine is toast. Just ordered. The Westinghouse. 2200 super. For just about the same amount. Little more. They had. Good reviews. But it’s not a Honda. But it will be new thanks your your comment
If mine needed and inverter, I would do what you do. Change the oil to Synthetic . It will protect your engine in high heat or long running conditions. www.amsoil.com/p/10w-30-synthetic-small-engine-oil-ase/?code=ASEQT-EA&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3smABhCjARIsAKtrg6LbJmsL68tO6hEFB5MxEIrUu6_JYbUGDeBy0YpXDln7fJDvJewN25oaAp6EEALw_wcB
@@MartinMetregerTipsandTricks ok thanks. What do you think about the Westinghouse 2200 sport ?
How come there's no ignition?
Sorry, This video doesn't go over the ignition.
Corrections: Not all AC generators need to operate at a single rpm. Only an ac generator that generates residential power needs to do that because household current is a single frequency (60hz in the USA). An inverter does not generate power by itself. It only turns DC to AC. An inverter generator has a DC generator in it that is connected to an inverter.
isn't that what I implied?
@@MartinMetregerTipsandTricksI thought you did...
Great.. i have the same problem but i think is the inverter ☹
Make sure you carefully inspect the wires. Use an ohm meter to check each wire from each connector. My friend works on hundreds of these generators. Never had a bad inverter. But mostly found bad connection or broken wires.
@@MartinMetregerTipsandTricks The inverters are bullet-proof. I had one that was in salt water for days and it was still fine. Check those wires and connectors!
@@eegg6954 you're right. Check the wiring.

Hi
Carb spring popped out
Honda coils failed
If you had the manual , you would know that , that machine has blue tooth . It will tell you something’s . But if you have to further to diagnose the problem , then this series of vids just might be what you need .
This generator costs $1166 . Oo from a dealer , and Honda generators are damned neer bullet proof . Don’t throw it away if you don’t have to . The Japanese did us a huge favor as their technology to build things has greatly improved over the past 4 decades . My hats off to them .
Do you recall a part number for that wire? After an hour of troubleshooting your video took me right to the problem.
No part number available. I had to find one used at a repair shop. They just gave it to me.
