Jim, I think you could accomplish your mod. What you would need to do would be to buy two liquids jugs. Modify one of them by inserting a bottom drain. From the bottom drain you'd connect the line. You'd have to drill out the bottom side of the main unit and make a slit about 2 times the height of the line. Then you'd need to rout out a bit of the floor to accommodate the line as it feeds back under the head to drain into the black tank. The Oatey plug that you'd use to cap the tank will...

Hey Eric, We are down for 2 days on space 71 under Cap, my poor record keeping requires me to ask, are we showing up on Thursday for Thursday night and Friday night? Or are we to show up on Friday for Friday night and Saturday night? Sorry to ask, neither one of us can remember... Thanks, Ed (aka Cap) and Terri (aka T.O.)

Leemom3: The first-day-lesson you'd learn in a gasoline engine class is: 1) They need fire to run. 2) They need air to run. 3) They need gas to run. Let's presume the first two are ok and go to the third. The reason for this is something you said about filling the tank 100%. Just as you can hold a liquid up in a straw if you put your finger over the end of it, you can sort of do the same thing with your engine if the tank is not vented. The cap is acting like your finger over the top of the...

You guys have done a greatjob of identifying possible issues & solutions. I am betting on the gas cap vent not being open & or over chocking.

Normally an engine will start with the gas cap unvented, but the engine will just stall unexpectedly after running a while. Sometimes the pressure will rebuild in the tank from the evaporating fuel and equalize things (if it's warm weather) and the engine will start again, and run for a while, before stalling again...

The Smarter Tools 2000IQ doesn't have a vent or a cap vent at all. The way I "unflooded" my unit was to: 1) Let it sit for a few hours (if you aren't in a hurry to use it) or 2) Turn the fuel source to "off" , also set the generator to "off" (as in on/off) and just pull the string about 10 times. then, wait a minute or two, turn the fuel switch to on and then turn the generator to "on" and pull the choke out about 1/2 way and give it a big, honking pull. Also, make sure you have the "eco"...

Sorry the 2000i does have the manual vented cap, made the assumption the 2000iq did also.
