I just got the Yamaha in spring and so far it has been great. It is really quiet, and I ran it for 16 hours on one tank, and it was still going. I don't think you can go wrong with either the Yamaha or Honda. For the same price, I would go for the Honda, but I got mine for about $150 less.

I have the Honda EU1000 and my only regret is not spending the extra money on the 2000. Very quiet and dependable. I had a problem with mine the first year because I did'nt change the oil often enough. The manual recomends changing every 8 hours of run time. I change mine every weekend now (very easy to do) and no more issues.

Honda EU2000, bought one at mayberrys.com 899 shipped to the door...then purchase a gas cap so you can hookup a outboard fuel tank 6 gallon and run it for 3 days without refueling because that little Honda tank is no fun to fill on 30 below in a wheel house.....i had a champion 3500 and it was great just to heavy to load by myself on the ice....and ran wide open all the time... full-12782-3942-externaltank3.jpg

For ice fishing I run a Honda Harmony. It's got the "throw away" 5hp Honda motor. It was bought at Northern for around $550 about 10 years ago. It runs on a full tank for about 24 hours. Recently I bought my first replacement part for it, a $35 recoil as the original one wore out and started eating pull cords.

Before I bought it I asked the sales staff at a small gas outfit and they said don't buy it. Glad I didn't take there advice and if it blew up tommorow figured I'd have gotten my moneys worth.

Used to stay in my wheeled house for several days on end. One night my dtv started flickering a bit. I cracked the window and heard a gurgling noise from the genny. It had been run so long during a warm spell it started to since. The muffler got to the water level!!! Can't count how many times it shut down from low oil. Just like my Roll Air, Dewalt, Emglo 5.5 Honda compressors.

Even though I'm a big USA guy can't beat a Honda.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
