Re: Should i use regular gasoline in 2000 watt generator
It is ok to use 87 octane regular unleaded gasoline in a Honda EU2000 generator. I have been running it in mine for 4 years with no problems. Using the higher octane blends is just a waste of cash.

It helps that you said it was " in storage".
I am assuming the unit runs on gasoline.
If so, it is probable the gasoline has turned to gummy deposit and the carburetor must be rebuilt.
This is common with any gasoline engine that sits for a long period of time.
I have this problem with my 2 generators.
In the future, if this was the problem, the gasoline must be drained out at the very start of the "storage" time.
God bless your efforts.

Before starting the genset remove the air filter and check the throttle plate on the carberator, it should be closed. If it is opened, then you choke coil is worn out and needs to be replaced.
