Hutch Mountain Generator Propane Conversion Kit Honda EU2200i - Tri-Fuel Conversion for Propane, Gasoline & Natural Gas - Portable Generator Backup Kit for Home Emergencies, Camping, and RVs

Watch the original video on Youtube before you assemble. It's easy but some things are not obvious.

I have had this for awhile, working for a propane supplier I don't know why I waited so long. Have this set up at remote cabin. Oil changes and spark plug changes last so much long than burning gasoline. Gas where I live is $2.32 a litre while barbeque cylinder refill is only $27.00

Easy to install, works like a champ on my Honda generator. Great customer service

While this kit is expensive, the quality of the provided parts is very good. Instructions are clear, and the basic kit also comes with jets for >5000ft elevation, and Natural Gas option. The jets actually install on the hose, so no need to disassemble the carb. You will need some additional hose as well for the Natural gas option. I put this on a Honda EU2200i, and it works great. I am at 4600' elevation, but the standard jet seems to work fine.

I feared installing this item on my eu2200, but it turned out to be pretty easy. The job took me about an hour including getting my tools out and putting them away, with frequent stops to study the several excellent You Tube instructional videos on the subject. (As of this writing all of these videos cover the eu2000 only, but because the eu2200 installation is a very similar but simpler operation they're still useful for the newer model. It's obvious which steps to omit.) At first my generator-- which runs perfectly on gasoline-- was a bit rough on propane. When I contacted the good people at Hutch Mountain about this, they answered the phone almost instantly and spent nearly an hour patiently talking me through the problem. It turned out that I'd received a defective propane regulator. They promptly shipped me a new one, and this did indeed about 98% solve the problem. I don't have a lot of hours on this setup yet, and probably won't for years to come since I don't run my generator very often. But the installation was easy and the support excellent. All the components seem to be rugged and of top-quality, and the finished product looks like the factory engineered it that way to begin with. I've found that I much prefer propane to gasoline operation, especially for short monthly check-up runs. With propane, I don't have to worry about even tiny residual amounts of gasoline drying out and gumming up the carburetor. Plus, propane is much easier to store and handle. Yes, it costs a bit more and reduces the power output a little. But for me the positives far outweigh the negatives. As a side note, I used a spade bit instead of the recommended step bit to drill the required hole in my housing. It worked perfectly well. As another side note, I learned in passing while completing this project that a professional shop requires a special certification to perform this conversion, and very few shops have one. So if you buy this, you'll probably have no choice but to do the installation work yourself. The job is so simple that it's silly for a certification to be required, but that's just the way things are.
