The manual states no changes needed until over 5000ft. If needed take to honda service center for modification... blah, blah, blah. Not sure what "modification" they do other than replace the limited adjust (thanks "CARB") air fuel with adjustable, but as memory serves it's not that simple... if you break away the limited adjust the needle wont stay where set (thanks again "CARB").

Probably the easiest and least expensive for a DIY is order an adjustable replacement carburetor off ebay (~$15 US delivered).

Due to the low air pressure in the plateau region, the air is thin and the oxygen content is small. Especially for naturally aspirated diesel generator sets, the combustion conditions are deteriorated due to insufficient intake air, so that the diesel generator set cannot emit the original specified calibration power even. The basic structure of diesel generator sets is the same, but the diesel generator sets have different calibration powers, so their ability to work in the plateau is different. The following are the considerations for the use of diesel generator sets in the highlands.

The reduced atmospheric pressure at high altitude means the standard carburettor settings will not allow sufficient fuel to flow for efficient running.
The dealer or manufacturer should be able to provide details of alternative settings - the jet sizes are usually increased a few points for every 5000 ft above sea level.
The cooler temperatures experienced at high altitude would probably change the engine oil specification to a lighter or thinner grade.

SOURCE: good 2500w generator and my r/v Dometic 13,500 a/c.

The 2500w gen. is good for approxiamtly 20a. so, you have to look at the initial draw on start up of a\c, ur 13.5k unit will pull around 10amps under load. Refridge, pulls probably 10a. so, there's the math of it. Check around on my figures, I'm not always right, but, I come close enough to it.

SOURCE: Honda EU30001 generator causes erratic pellet stove operation.

Ok Motors and the like generally DO NOT really go all that well from a generator, what load does the Stove use?, You must add up the cumlitive "Wattages" of ALL things connected, see your generator is about 3000 Watts, 3KW, How much "headroom" is there between the two? Whats supplied versus whats being used? Purely inductive loads, like Motors etc, are less responsive than electronic loads. I suspect that your generator is NOT providing enough current to the Stove, especially when "Other" things are connected. also. Look, if the, any, generator is 3000 Watts really you should only load it up to a couple of KW's, 2.5KW being about maximum. To do what you are doing would require, IMHO, at least, 5KW, to get the "Headroom" of current drawn over current able to be delivered by the generator. Also inductive loads loose heaps of power and actually cause a higher draw. So that your answer, you must use it well, inside it's rating, not right up to the limit.

SOURCE: Getting error code 13 when heater runs 2-3

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly

The error code 13 from memory is indicating a venting / flame / improper combustion problem. I recall seeing a C7 or a C4 before an error 13 though.

There is one sensor called the Oxygen depletion sensor and the code 13 appears for this sensor when it is sensing poor or incomplete combustion

Oxygen Depletion Sensor

(Poor or Improper
Combustion)
I honesly am not certain but I think it is item 4 of the parts list below (Flame rod) PN: RTG20164H
^- I believe this is the sensor causing your problem This is a stand alone sensor.

Your other 4 sensors.
PN: RTG20164P (Yellow) Heat exchanger Thermisor
PN: RTG20164R (Blue) Ambient Air Thermistor
PN: RT20006AR (White) Inlet Thermistor / water line
PN: RTG2006BB (Black) Outlet thermistor / water line

The inlet and outlet thermistors will have the same resistance Pair 1
The heat exchanger and Ambient Air thermistors will have the same resistance. Pair 2
It is best to check these when the unit is at Ambient air temp as the resistance values will be the same. If you note any major resistance differences or opens..between each of the thermistor pairs, the thermistor is bad.
Your parts are in this link pages 14 - 16:
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Rheem-TanklessParts-Accessories.pdf

These thermistors if they outright fail show up as error codes 29, 31, 33, 34 and 35 You could just have dirty / corroded thermistor terminal(s) connector(s) or minor corrosion on the main PCB.

Just make sure your repair efforts are directed toward the flame rod and associated wiring.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

High altitude operation of a ryi2200 generator (5000 ft)

You require a high altitude carb (or carb jet) to operate correctly at this altitude. The jets are smaller to compensate for the thin air.

You need to get in touch with Ryobi to see if they sell them.

Do not adjust anything else on the generator!!!!

My honda 2000 whisperer generator runs then shuts off after about 3 minutes. What could possibly be wrong?

Always use ONLY fresh fuel... (page 32 of owners manual) it is very easy to forget about because HONDA is such an awesome machine... but EVEN MORE LIKELY...

HONDA has a very sensitive self protection device

Your oil pressure cut off switch could be responding to the WRONG OIL...
DIRTY OIL...
LOW OIL or WORSE... OVERFILLED Oil.

Check it out in your owners manual. ((below) http://cdn.powerequipment.honda.com/pe/pdf/manuals/31Z07610.pdf

I have an Ef3000iseb runs great here at or about 5000 ft. go up in the mountains it starts loading up and wont run. is there a higher altitude kit?

Yes thats true
there is high altitude re jetting in the carburator your carb has to be re jetted for the normal operation of the generator at high altitudes by the authorised personel but when you will bring it back again at the orignal altitude it will get heated quickly and may not function properly so you will have to bring the carb settings to its orignal position so be careful

Honda eu3000is generator surges

Inverter Generator Benefits
  • The EU3000 series generators are inverter generators. The generator features an alternator, which produced high-voltage, multi-phase AC power. This power is converted to DC power and then converted back to AC. This process is controlled by a microprocessor and is necessary to provide stable, consistent power capable of running equipment sensitive to power surges. This type of generator provides higher fuel efficiency and lower operational noise ratings in a lighter model than home and work generators produced by Honda.

EU3000i Handi Specifications
  • The Honda EU3000i Handi is a 3,000-watt inverter generator that features wheels, folding handle and a recessed convenience light. The engine is a Honda GX160, which features a 163-cc displacement. The AC output is 120 volts, with an average rating of 2,600 watts and a maximum production of 3,000 watts. There are three receptacles to include a 20A, 125-volt duplex and a 30A, 125-volt locking plug. The DC output is 12 volts and 100 watts. The EU3000i can hold 1.56 gallons of unleaded fuel, which will provide consumers with 3.6 hours of run time at 25 percent load for 7.7 hours.

Need an emissions schamatic for my 1984 K10 silverado 305 engine

Unfortunately, there are 13 variations for this engine and year. Was this truck sold or modified for high altitude? Was it sold in California or modified to meet the CA emission standards? Does it have a manual or auto transmission? After narrowing down based on answers to these questions, there are still alternative configurations depending on the particular equipment, so look carefully at the diagrams to see which components are used on your engine. Sometimes you can match the 3 letter code for the diagram to letters in the VIN or a sticker in the engine compartment. Please let me know if you have questions.

Humming noise

Most times a humming noise in a Plasma tv is associated with high altitude. If you live over 3500 ft. and when you first turn on the unit is has a slight buzz and it gets worse as it warms up then you have what is referred to as high altitude sickness. You shoul contact the manufacture with this problem and the should exchange the unit with one tested for proper operation at high altitude. If you do not live at high altitude then there is a problem in the unit that should be diagnosed.
