Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need to drill any holes in the Honda casing during the installation process?
Hutch Mountain wants your generator to look as close to the manufactured product as possible. Depending on your model of generator, drilling a hole is minimal and does not require any holes larger than 3/8" in diameter. Where there are some conversion kits out there that require you to drill massive holes in the side of your generator causing it to look like Frankenstein!
Will I need to glue anything when I install the Hutch Mountain Conversion Kits?
No, our conversion kits do not require any use of any type of glue during the installation process like some other kits on the other had that require hot gluing parts of your generator.
Can I pair an old Honda eu2000i (outside the serial number range) with a newer Honda eu2000i (inside the serial number range).
No, the older and newer generators have different inverter boards. In time it will cause the electronics to burn out in one or both generators.
Do I need a regulator when using my RV propane/natural gas where it already has a regulator?
The propane/natural gas coming from the RV is already being regulated so you would only need the demand regulator on the conversion kit.
Will propane dry out the engine rings and seals on my Honda Generator motor?
Because of today’s Technology in generators, the seals will not dry out while using propane or any other type of fuel.
Do I have to adjust the regulator on my Hutch Mountain propane conversion kit?
If the generator is not running as expected, an adjustment may be needed on the demand regulator portion of the conversion kit. Higher elevations could possibly require an additional adjustment. Our customer service team is ready to help you if an adjustment is necessary.
Will the Hutch Mountain Propane Conversion Kit void my Honda Generator's warranty?
Because the propane conversion kit is not a genuine Honda part, the kit will void your warranty. In the past eight years, we have never had a problem with a conversion kit harming the generator once properly installed. You can buy our warranty for $125.
How hard is the Hutch Mountain Propane Conversion Kit to install on a Honda Generator?
We know that not all our customers are professional conversion kit installers, so we provide an easy step-by-step installation guide with every Hutch Mountain propane conversion kit. You can also contact our customer service department and we would love to walk you through the installation process. We are here to help.
Do you have to use the choke on my Honda Generator when using a Hutch Mountain propane conversion kit?
No. The only time you will need to use the choke is if you choose to use gasoline.
Is a Honda generator running propane hard to start in cold weather?
Yes. Propane can be harder to start in colder weather. However, we have also found that extreme cold weather could require an electric blanket or a cold climate kit to prevent the regulators from freezing.
Can I run my Honda Generator on a 1-pound propane tank?
We recommend going with the standard 20 lb. BBQ Propane tank while running the Honda eu2000i or Honda eu2200i models and a 30 lb. Propane tank while using the Honda eu3000is.
How do I connect my Honda Generator to Natural Gas?
You must have a female 3/8” disconnect on the low-pressure side of your natural gas line coming from your source and a patch hose.
Can I change the length of the vacuum hose during installation of the Hutch Mountain Conversion Kit?
No. The vacuum hose is a calibrated 3 ft. length. If you need longer lengths, you will need additional adaptors including the Quick Connect Kit and a patch hose between the source and the generator.
Is there any power loss when using propane or natural gas?
We take pride in knowing that your Honda Generator will run at its highest performance level possible as it runs on clean burning propane. Most propane kits on the market have a power loss of approx. 10-12%. The Hutch Mountain conversion kit has a hardly noticeable power loss of approx. 3-5%. We love the fact that you receive the power you need when you need it most.
Do I need to gap my spark plug on my Honda Generator?
We recommend gapping your spark plug if you have a Honda eu3000is generator as it is necessary to run at its highest power and performance. We also recommend that you gap spark plugs no matter the model of generator you own so that your generator is running and performing at its best levels.
Do I need to purchase the iridium spark plug when I purchase my conversion kit?
No, your stock plugs will work just fine. However, we really love the Iridium spark plugs because they are dependable, they take less energy to make a spark and make a clean spark which is ideal for igniting the fuel, giving you the most power available.
How long does my Honda Generator run on propane?
There are a few factors that change the runtime on propane. First, the length of run time depends on the size of the generator model and the size of the propane source. On a standard 20 lb. BBQ Tank a full load will run for approx.. 12 HRs, Half load for approx.. 22 hrs., and a quarter load for approx.. 33 hrs.
Can I still use gasoline on my Honda Generator after installing the Hutch Mountain Propane Conversion Kit?
Yes. Our conversion kits are tri-fuel conversion kits which means that you can run your Honda Generator on propane, natural gas, or gasoline. We include a sticker in our conversion kits that replaces the factory Honda sticker to ensure you are using the correct fuel.
