Yes I did. I even pulled the line going to the carb to verify it was pumping correctly. What worried me more is that it wouldnt even start when spraying it with starting fluid. I was leaning more towards a timing issue but the marks all match the shop diagram says.

So guys to give you an update i got it all tore apart and put back together. I was hopeful that a good cleaning was going to solve the problem after seeing the inside but im back at the drawing board. Once I got it torn down I was able to see the valves and piston and the amount of crud and...

Haha yeah that video is actually how i got this far in my tear down its a pretty decent explanation. Unfortunately he didn't pull the piston or the valves so I wasn't sure if there was something else I was missing as the only way it can come out the bottom is if I remove the crank.

Does anyone know how to get the piston / valves out of an EU2000 generator? I have mine torn down but im at a loss on how to get the piston / valves out. Since it does not seem that the head is removable im guessing i have to remove the crank and remove them from the inside? For those that want...

Wow he sure did get his moneys worth.

Yeah I picked up some filters the other day and noticed the ones toward the front of the shelf had over spray. Anyone know how to read the date codes? I figure its probably just a newer batch problem. Wouldn't be surprised if they already fixed it.
