In eco mode, with zero load, mine does not idle smoothly - the governor seems to bounce the idle up and down, not finding a middle ground where it can settle down.

With a little bit of load, it settles into a smooth RPM range and stays there though.

I've considered calling Honeywell and seeing if there's anything I can do about this. It is a bit irritating when the genny is running under such light load (while in standby waiting for a load for example) and it's bouncing all over the place RPM wise.

This uneven idle is a fairly common problem with the eu2000i. Partial choke smooths it out, and the cause is a gummed up carburetor.

Thats how mine runs eco, but in full throttle runs awsome, dont have the other ones at my place to run them long enough o try them.

you can try turning the plastic screw on the carb, in 'clockwise' a little bit 1/2 to 1 turn. also a new engine is going to be a little tight

Can a really gummed up carb prevent the engine from starting at all? Or will it just run really bad?

when i was , buying and selling mopeds, one of the first things i did was disassemble the carb and soak it in a bucket of parts cleaner ( do not soak the gaskets an orings )

Starting to find that the primer bulb on these things might become the weak link with them. Im going to try and find a after market one and see how that helps with starting. Ill keep you updated, if that was the faxt it would be cheap to replace.
