My EU2000i always starts with 1 or 2 pulls if it's been run in the last few days. But if it sits for a month or longer, it's a good 20-30 pulls to get it started. But after all those pulls and finally starting, if I shut it off, it restarts in 1 or 2 pulls.
Anybody else have this problem and been able to fix it?

Back years ago I installed a piece of 1/4" tubing from the intake assembly into one of the intake tubes, drilled a hole in the bottom of the 2000 next to the bowl drain tube....
After my 2000 has sat for a while and won't start after a couple of pulls I just squirt starter fluid up that external tube and the 2000 starts after the 1-2nd pull..
I did this to a couple of buds 2000's too... A life saver.

Actually pretty easy to drain. Flat blade screwdriver...turn it, watch gas drain 30 seconds, close it.

How? The device is described as a switch. To cut off fuel, one needs a valve. Is it both?
The round run/off dial when turned to off, shuts off the fuel supply and shorts out the spark plug lead. So adding the remote kill switch allows it to run out of fuel. You don't even need to use the switch. Just let it run out of fuel. Approx 2-3 minutes.
On a side note.
I am reading some posts from many years ago that state that there is some fuel left in the carb bowl after running the gen to stall.
I may have a look on mine.

I'm confused. How can an electrical switch cut off the fuel? Is there an existing solenoid valve in the fuel line? Thanks.
On edit: Is the OEM fuel pump electric?
