My 2002 Honda EU3000is, hunts at high idle. (IE: When ever subjected to a load or the econo switch is turned off) It appears to be running very rich at high idle. I have disconected the inverter unit to see if it was causeing a "hidden load" to no avail. Ive taken the air cleaner right out to no avail. Ive changed the spark plug to no avail. Ive checked the float level and needle and seat all are good. Even disconnected the throtte motor and when I manually activate to full throttle, same thing IE: Hunting and running very rich. IE: black smoke comming from exhaust. Unit make have run many hours is it possible the engine is toast? Runs well at idle and even continues to power up light loads at idle. Any suggestions? Cheers Will.

Runs rich on high speed or hunts with black smoke
and fine on idle Lets understand it this way whenever there is black smoke that means there is not proper combustion in the cylender head means un burned fuel means less power which is either fuel is not pure due to dust particals or there is not proper current through the spark plug that means fuel is not burning properly and resulting in to smoke in the exoust if you have checked the fuel already then check for the current coil for proper currrent through a wiring diagrame which can possibly make you check up to the inverter level to see if your inver is malfunctioning if its ok then check the air fuel mix screw on the carburator to check that the full oxygen supply is going in the carb for proper combustion try adjusting the air fuel ratio on high speed or on load even than the problem persists check if your spark plug is wet after a brief running if it is dry thsn its fine if it covered and wet with engine oil that means engine oil is comming in to the cumbustion chamber and burning with thr fuel and resulting in to smoke for that matter you will have to check your piston rings

I just cleaned the carb and now it starts and runs fine, but starts burning oil after a couple of minutes. Did I get it wrong on assembly?

There is a series of spacers and gaskets that go on in a specific order. I can't remember offhand. If you get them on wrong it can mess up the alignment of the choke control which causes it to bind up and not move freely. That can make the engine run rich and smoke which makes it look like it is burning oil.
Check online for an exploded view of the gaskets and spacers along with the bracket for the choke control. Make sure they are aligned properly.

Honda eu3000is generator surges

Inverter Generator Benefits
  • The EU3000 series generators are inverter generators. The generator features an alternator, which produced high-voltage, multi-phase AC power. This power is converted to DC power and then converted back to AC. This process is controlled by a microprocessor and is necessary to provide stable, consistent power capable of running equipment sensitive to power surges. This type of generator provides higher fuel efficiency and lower operational noise ratings in a lighter model than home and work generators produced by Honda.

EU3000i Handi Specifications
  • The Honda EU3000i Handi is a 3,000-watt inverter generator that features wheels, folding handle and a recessed convenience light. The engine is a Honda GX160, which features a 163-cc displacement. The AC output is 120 volts, with an average rating of 2,600 watts and a maximum production of 3,000 watts. There are three receptacles to include a 20A, 125-volt duplex and a 30A, 125-volt locking plug. The DC output is 12 volts and 100 watts. The EU3000i can hold 1.56 gallons of unleaded fuel, which will provide consumers with 3.6 hours of run time at 25 percent load for 7.7 hours.

My honda cr 250 idle's high when takin over. and before it runs out of petrol it rev's up on it's own.

The air/fuel mixture is Lean as opposed to rich. Adjust the air/fuel mixture screw clockwise in quarter turns until the idle normalizes. This screw can be found inbetween the carb and air filter. It should be a brass screw with a flat head (not cross or philips).
When you're almost out of fuel cab will go lean and therefore idle up.

I have a 2002 honda vtx 1800 will not idle but loads with gas

Check for a blocked airbox vent, sometime we put things under the seat that will cover the airbox inlet which will automatically make the bike run extremely rich and all that needs to be done is to remove the paper or gloves or whatever there is blocking the inlet snorkel. You may also want to check for tight intake valves too. That is classic Honda, tight valves will cause a rich mixture all the time if it is the intake valves making the problem.
Please let me know if this works, if not give me more specific data and I will better assist you.
