You have to remove that emlusion tube and clean it. That's where the debris will restrict the fuel and lean out the motor.
That little tube is right under the jet (screw). It sometimes is difficult to get out. You will see the small holes for the fuel, they will plug up. You can not clean this tube while it is in the carb, you have to get it out. Be careful if you use a blast of air from some of the ports of the carb. The tube can come out flying!!! I nearly lost mine the first time I did it.

This was a great article. I am shopping for a generator now for my purchased 2005 Mobile Suites and I think I will go with the Honda 2000 and in the future, if needed, run a pair of them. At the moment, I need the generator at the storage site to begin preparing the unit for full timeing. Not sure if I will purchase from Camp World (~$1000)or order online with free shipping and no tax (~$800). Thanks

I bought mine at the same place and i couldn't find it for less anywhere else. Another RV forum i belong to all talk about wise sales as being a good place (which i agree with)...... I had it in about four days.

Thanks for the great thread, it's come in handy...
I do have a problem still however -
EU1000 is my model, last year I used it pretty hard for one weekend max load 16 hours straight a day for 4 days,,, new oil to start and new oil afterwards - always use Seafoam then it was put away and the first time I started it no proper idle - choke required - ah dirt ok - followed instructions near exact for 1000..
It never responded - so 3-4 attempts of cleaning and reassembly taking very close note that all gaskets hoses etc were proper...still same hunting at idle and needed half choke to run,,,
Ok now finally get back to it today - determined to fix it - pulled it all apart thoroughly cleaned all parts with carb cleaner and compressed air 3 times,,,, not tested yet fingers crossed....
First issue - I noticed the throttle doesn't spring back it stays were I place it - did a thorough cleaning of it...I guess I managed to leave it in wide open position as when I started the genie for the first time after re-assembly it ran at 5440rpm with eco throttle on..
SOOO I pulled all apart again another thorough cleaning and drying with compressed air and turned throttle closed this time no spring action...reassembled and voila seems to work great at idle with max load it increases idle and goes back down -
Second issue - idle on eco is now running 4150rpm no load when it use to be 3950rpm,,, is this a problem I can resolve..
Third Issue - it hunts with full wide open throttle with max load... not terrible hunting but it is hunting almost 200rpm up down with max load on,,
Any suggestions ??
Again great site and Honda Genie thread
Thank You,
Regards,
Brian

Brian, I am curious as to what you use to determine the generator RPM?
I have not had my carb apart for about five years, always just drained the water from the bowel and fuel tank, when it started running rough. It is about due, and I think I will take it apart this time.

Not this brand but similar I just glued it to the case and ran the wire into plug access. I got it more to monitor eng hours but tach is handy too.

I wanted to echo the OP's caution about removing the eco throttle mechanism from the top of the carb.
I did a carb clean out tonight and got cocky about taking the eco off.....and out shot that little spring he mentioned. Fortunately I found it and was able to get it back on....but I got lucky!
Great write up. Thanks.
