Yamaha EF2000iSv2 – Portable Inverter Generators

Yamaha EF2000iSv2 – Portable Inverter Generators, Blue. Fuel Type - Unleaded Regular.

Powerful, portable, and efficient, the Yamaha EF2000iSv2 Review and Price History Gas-Powered Portable Inverter deliver maximum electrical output without sacrificing portability. Thanks to its innovative inverter system, the generator is able to generate up to 2,000 watts of clean AC power. It can run up to 10.5 hours continuously without refueling and uses premium technologies to maximize fuel efficiency.

Yamaha's EF2000iSv2 inverter generator quietly powers a wider range of applications for an extended time, while still being portable and retro-cool. The completely new controller with advanced programming gives the EF2000iSv2 the ability to power a much wider range of applications than the previous generation EF2000iS. At less than 45 pounds, it is lightweight, very compact (2.2 cu.ft.) which makes it easy to store and transport.

The Yamaha EF2000iSv2 – Portable Inverter Generators are fitted with Yamaha’s most technologically sophisticated muffler with a USFS-approved spark arrestor. It’s so quiet that you can have a conversation near one and may not realize it is running. (51.5 dBA to 61 dBA – ¼ rated to rated load). Rubber vibration isolation helps smooth operation and reduce noise. See fuel gauge at-a-glance. Gasoline petcock lets you shut off the gas to run the carb dry for storage and helps prevent stale gas problems.


Get Product Review:

I bought Yamaha EF2000iSv2 – Portable Inverter Generators. I ran it for an hour or so,l put it up, and never maintained it. Of course, it wouldn't start. With Hurricane Florence approaching, I was inspired to try to get it running. First, I found the spark plug gummed up. I replaced it. I found a youtube video on how to remove the carburetor and used it to disassemble the unit. Now here's a tip. You might not have to remove the carb to fix it.

With the fuel shutoff, drain and remove the bowl. Clean any debris from the bowl. Mine had a thick layer of old oil that looked like a gasket in the bottom! Now, here's the tip - On the side of the fuel uptake is a small brass screw. This is the jet, and it has a tiny hole through it that can clog. I ran a piece of fine strand wire through it to clear. This is an "unusual" jet design that I didn't see a video on.

There is no venturi to remove in the fuel uptake, as I call it. Once you clear this screw, reassemble. Make a mixture of gas to Seafoam at a ratio of 2 to 1 and pour into your tank. Crank the generator - it should now run. Run for ten minutes or so and shut down. Allow that mixture to sit overnight and you should be good to go. I was able to get mine running and I am by no means a mechanic.

Just take your time and Yamaha EF2000iSv2 – Portable Inverter Generators will work out! One small complaint I do have is that I'm disappointed in Yamaha outsourcing to China. I've heard Honda did the same but haven't verified this. If Honda is still made in Japan I'd have gone that way in retrospect. Though I really like the fuel shut-off and gauge on the Yamaha. That is what sold me. The cast-iron cylinder and metal valve train are also nice.

I added the Motocross Hardline hour meter and the magnetic oil pick-up. The initial oil fill was exactly 400ml of 0W-30 Royal Purple Break-in Oil. I'll switch to Castrol 0W-40 synthetic European SN-rated oil (German made) after a 20-hour break-in. I'll also break in with ethanol-free fuel (Trufuel, Husqvarna, VPT4, etc). I had the earlier model and found it to be very reliable and easy to start in an emergency situation.

I decided to buy a second unit and the twinning cables to allow me to run my heating furnace fan in case of a power outage during the heating season. You can spend a lot less money for a higher output inverter type generator but I doubt you will get the equivalent quality. One of the best features is its; lightweight and compact size.


Won’t take up too much space in your garage or shed. I've been through 3 hurricanes losing power for a week each time. I need to be able to keep my refrigerator cold and a fan to sleep at night hook up to the Internet using the smallest amount of fuel. During these times I can only get out by boat so being able to manage on less than 1 gallon of fuel a day is great.

I sure wanted a 5kw for less money but fuel consumption won the day. Oh, I have a Yamaha motorcycle. And a Yamaha gas golf cart. Not 1 problem with any of them. Think long and hard about fuel consumption and reliability when purchasing. Yamaha EF2000iSv2 – Portable Inverter Generators are also very quiet. You can hear it run but it is not totally distracting like the larger units.

From The Manufacturer:

Upgraded, Power-Packed, Quiet, and Lightweight

Yamaha EF2000iSv2 – Portable Inverter Generators quietly powers a wider range of applications for an extended time, while still portable and retro-cool. The completely new controller with advanced programming gives the EF2000iSv2 the ability to power a much wider range of applications than the previous generation EF2000iS. At less than 45 pounds, it is lightweight, very compact (2.2 cu.ft.) which makes it easy to store and transport.

Clean, high-quality power The Yamaha EF2000iSv2 Inverter generator supplies clean, high-quality power. The EF2000iSV2 – with its inverter system – features Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) so voltage stability is within ± 1%, and frequency stability is ± 0.1 HZ. Its pure sine wave is as clean as or cleaner than public utility power.

The New controller powers more tasks

The EF2000iSv2 incorporates a completely new controller with advanced programming resulting in improved output characteristics between 1600w-2000w operation ranges. The addition of the new programming allows the EF2000iSv2 the ability to power a much wider range of applications than previous generation EF2000iS.

Long Run Time The EF2000iSv2 features Smart Throttle, a load sensing rpm control that allows greater fuel efficiency and noise reduction by automatically adjusting engine speed to match the load. It will run up to 10.5 hours at a ¼ rated load on a tank of gas.

Twin Tech Parallel Generator Operation If you need extra power the EF2000iSv2 has you covered—a convenient parallel function lets you connect two generators to deliver up to 30 amps. The EF2000iSv2 may be connected in parallel with an earlier model Yamaha EF2000iS. Note: Requires Twin Tech Cable and 2nd generator, not included.

Quiet Operation The EF2000iSv2 is fitted with Yamaha’s most technologically sophisticated muffler with a USFS-approved spark arrestor. It’s so quiet that you can have a conversation near one and may not realize it is running. (51.5 dBA to 61 dBA – ¼ rated to rated load). Rubber vibration isolation feet smooth operation and reduce noise. An Ounce of Prevention...

Warranty:

This generator does have an excellent 3-year warranty. The warranty will be voided, though, if you haven’t completed proper maintenance or if you’ve installed any non-Yamaha parts or accessories.


Product Update:

The generator can only operate continuously at about 1600 watts, if each warmer is rated at less than 800 watts each, yes. It basically is as good as a house circuit that has a 15 amp circuit breaker. Most garage and wall plug outlets of a house are usually 15 amp breakers.
