20 Most Recent Honda Eb 3500 Generator - Page 6 Questions & Answers

a GX390 Honda Motor but the used generator stator can be different cannot give more suggestions then measuring the circuitbreaker it can be broken the suggestion 60 mf capacitor can have trouble and electronic modul and bridge rectifier for some other dc connectors the coil diodes inside the stator. several options to go.

As far as I know this generator has not a manual activated valve opener. Therefor the exhaust valve may be stuck in the open position. Spray the valve stem/shaft at both side where it enters the casing with penetrating oil and leave for a while. (Hour or so). Try then to get the valve to move freely by moving the valve up and down. Use pliers but the jaws must be covered with a thick cloth as not to damage or scrape the valve stem. Ps. if the inlet valve moves but the outlet doesn't then the outlet is just stuck and need to be loosened.

will it blow any circuit? if so, the a/c has an electric problem. will the a/c run when plugged into a service power supply?

This generator will run an a/c unit up to 13500 btus and is good for 2800 watts. This is a small generator, the nameplate rating numbers need to jive before overloading the energy supply.

If the generator is an auto stop/start type for standby use, it would seem those solenoids are the reason why fuel isn't getting through. It would be a fairly sensible method of stopping the engine remotely. An auto start/stop generator would need a battery for starting purposes, a battery that would presumably also provide current to energise those solenoids and allow fuel to flow. I suggest you refer to the instruction manual in the first instance...

Was it ever electrically overloaded?

Try the tube that runs between the fuel tank and the carburetor. I have seen them crack since the tank is stationary and the engine is on rubber motor mounts. That line is in constant motion.

You have to pull the rear (muffler end) cover, rear muffler protector (the metal vent), the rear handle, the lower end plate, and the fiber muffler protector so you have access to the head cover. Remove the head cover, disconnecting the breather tube as you do it. Turn the engine (using pull handle) to top dead center compression (both valves fully closed). Use feeler gauge to check the valve clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem. Intake should be .15mm +/- .02mm (.006in +/- .001) Exhaust should be .20mm +/- .02mm (.008in +/- .001) Adjust as needed by loosening the rocker arm pivot locking nut and adjusting the rocker arm pivot. Tighten the locking nut once set. Put it all back together. :)

is this a car or a generator. we are talking about? if its a generator then goto this link might help you out. https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=Repair+manual+Honda+EU10i

Flooding carb perhaps or maybe lots of short duration runs that never allowed it to become thoroughly hot.

Disconnect the auto choke assembly and hook up some sort of mechanism to manually open and/or close the choke. Spring load the choke so that the default position is fully open.
