Hi,

Just installed the Central Main Diesel Tri-Fuel kit on my Honda EU 2000i generator. Installation is straight forward, and there is an excellent walk thru on Youtube.

Disappointing thing is, generator doesn't run Doesn't even attempt to run: prime pressed, load block screw backed off half turn (tried different settings).

What I noticed is that the prime button becomes very hard to depress after about a second. I guess that is not normal and might indicate an obstruction somewhere along the line?

Anyone familiar with these kits / regulators, and does that make sense as a diagnosis?

TX!
Bas

First thing is to call the manufacturer, may be a bum part.

After pulling it all off again, and working thru all components one by one. It turned out that the load block is wacky. Screw needs to be pretty much completely out for it to deliver sufficient propane.. All good now.. Pfewwww
