    Wheel ..,

    Interesting about the Hour Meter blinks.   But,  still,  the genset can be running,  with that LED not illuminated,   and on my EU2000,  this means that the output has been overloaded (or the inverter quit working),   and there is no AC output on the 120 VAC outlet,   NO?

    Vic...I think you are correct about the green light going out. See page 13 of this manual re: the output lite. http://cdn.powerequipment.honda.com/pe/pdf/manuals/31Z07610.pdf

    OK,  Thanks Wheelman,

    This genset is by far the least used one,  in the fleet.   Am sure it is about 11-12 years old.  It has fewer than 100 Hrs   ...   and predates the time meter models by about 303,000 units,  is the S/Ns are continuous   ...     Thanks for all the info.   Vic

    The spark I pulled it vs the new one... I guess it was time to change it! wow. 

    My father in law, a car guy, told me to just put the new one in... not sure if I should have clean the threads in there or done something else?

    You need to clean the emulsion tube in the carb, see in video around 7 min in, the tube with the small holes, if your mechanical skills are in question have it done for you. Seafoam or other magic sprays are extremely unlikely to have any effect, the carb has to be removed and cleaned, this usually takes me about 30 minutes to do, this is not my video BTW
