Honda EU20i parallel connection

Mine has the parallel ports standard and I suspect that they all do and there is a misprint on the flyer.

I purchased the cables in case I needed to join two one day...only have the one genny but forsee the possibilty of being with fellow traveller with same genny and a need arose perhaps some time in the future

Hi check you local Gumtree...I purchased mine for $1,200, It was brand new never used from a couple that sold their caravan and had no need for it

G'day Lyndon

I have a EU20i and from the same place.
Never used the twin hookup with someone elses generator. Possibly you will never need to.

Observations.
After a run in period I use 5w50 Mobil 1 in the engine and as it is 5w when starting and no thinner than 50w would be when running hot, it gives the best of both in the performance/life. Not much oil in them anyway, so check OFTEN if run for long periods.

If storing after use the book says to drain the carby. Done via the engine access hatch. This entails using a screwdriver to undo the drain the carby bowl down through the clear plastic tube to the gen base. Rag needed.
If you DON'T DRAIN and STORE for a WHILE WITHOUT DRAINING, the fuel will dry in the bowl and cause jet blockage and then it will require the carby removed to clean it out and make it go again.
Best never to forget the draining of the carby bowl.

Can anyone tell me if the EU20i has an hour meter?

Just had a look at one this morning, Lyndon.

Didn't notice an hour meter. Some small engine & motorbike shops sell those small hourmeter/tachometers, that run on a button cell and get the tacho drive from a wire wrapped around the HT cable. Small enough to fit somewhere, with bit of velcro or silastic.

Hope it treats you well Lyndon. I'm from Honda head office, let us know if you have any issues but you're in for a treat!
