I've used eu2000s for a lot of years. I've had failures after 3-4
years
of around 6 - 10 hours a day use. And then it was usually just
the
timing belt which you can fix.

Thats like 7,500 hours before the first problem? Is that right?!

I have about 150 hours on mine; I guess it will last a while longer.




One thing that might help for longevity is to use an engine injector type
cleaner into the air intake and spark plug hole when you change the oil
each time.

The guys at honda told me to use Ames Power Foam and run that through it
a few times when you change oil. Seems like if the generator is ran
under low or mid load conditions for a long time it can have buildup
around the valves etc. Turn off the 'econo mode' and spray that crap in
there and give it a good italian tuneup once in a while running at full
throttle.

but yeah .. overall very reliable .. 150 hours yours is bearly broke in
mate!
