Light and quiet Review by Blackout

I just purchased this Yamaha. Delivery took a few short days. It is very light, about 65 lbs. When I started it I couldn't believe how quiet it was. It is comparably small but powerful. When operating with the econ switch on it's very very quiet. It automatically increases according to the power draw. Very happy!!! (Posted on 12/13/11)

A good unit you must turn off fuel and run the carb dry. Review by Sailor Man

Value
Quality

I bought the EF2800i about three years ago. I have learned the hard way you must turn off the fuel and let the unit run the carburetor dry. If you stop the unit with the stop switch and leave the fuel lever in the run position fuel will enter the engine and end up with fuel in the oil (crank case). The float in the carburetor is nylon plastic with no adjustments. The fuel is gravity fed to the carburetor and in time weakens the float to allow the fuel to flow in to the crank case. I didn’t check the oil before I started the unit and it made some squeak noses after it ran for a minute. I stopped the unit and checked the oil it was over flowing when the dip stick was removed. The oil thinned with gas damaged the connecting rod at the crank shaft. (Posted on 8/18/11)
