there are quite a few people on the bayliner website that use the honda 2000i....i personally own one as a back up for the kohler that is in my uniflite....i had a cord made up to run from the honda to the shore power inlet...they are VERY quiet and can run for 8 hrs on a single fill up...should be able to power up your battery charger and keep the batteries topped off...wont run my electric stove
my kohler (honda engine) needed some carb work and fuel filters changed and a aux fuel pump added to the fuel line...i found that by NOT running the genny for long periods of time it would get enough air in the fuel line that it would be IMPOSSIBLE to re start and i burned up a $300 starter proving this...so i cleaned the carb and added a fuel pump to the line...starts everytime now (KNOCK ON WOOD) i like to run the kohler for a few hours at a time to keep the fuel fresh and keep it loose and ready to go when i do need it On May 30, 6:42 pm, tomdepot <[email protected]> wrote: > This is somewhat on subject, but if it seems like I have hijacked your > thread, I am sorry.
