Well guys! I'm to my last hope here!
I have a Honda EU1000i inverter/generator that never let me down, ever! But somehow I can't get it to stay on after cycling it to start with robust pulls to the recoil rope.
I searched deep in the web and all they offer is advice on how not to store it for too long in between starts so that this will not happen. No data on what to do "after" it happens!
I removed the oil and gas, cleaned the stuff expected to get dulled or else and put in new oil with the highest octane gas I could find *even went to the length of adding some extra octane juice too. Still it won't stay on after the many tries and methods I employed!
I followed some guy's advice and left the throttle a bit open than the usual close position, another's and tilted the thing about 10 degrees, yet one more and poured some alcohol on the gas mix. All to no avail!
I neeeeeeed this thing to work! It's the only thing able to let me use my A/V high end equipment without worries in remote locations. We have a family outing to the "wild" this weekend and I "neeeeeeeeED" this once trusted "man's best friend" to work!
Exactly what I need to do for it to start working like always once again? I know already that not having it started for 4 months caused this, but I don't need the why it happen but how to fix the problem!
And yes! I did turn off the eco throttle option on the front panel just in case, as adviced by 99% of the web posters until today!
Given how many expats use alternative power solutions in the DR *with the electrical service problems as we'll know, I hope at least one owns a comparable model of this line from Honda (been told they all share the same technology, so pretty much what applies to one does it for the other).
I bought it using my commercial account and was told that my warranty from Honda covers only the first year on labor and parts for that sector!
Is there anything I'm missing do to here???
I'm handy with tools so don't fret about mechanical solutions that may work!:nervous:
