My Honda 3000 generator starts and runs for 30 seconds and turns off. Does anyone knows what the problem could be

a problem has arisen in the converter panel /board
take it in for a proper diagnosis and repair

If the plug isn't fouled and looks all right, it could be the resistor cap on the plug wire. It could also be a warning from the CDI that it is giving up the ghost.

Make sure that the spark arrester screen on the exhaust isn't plugged with carbon. It takes just thirty seconds to pull it out. If it is clean, then the fuel filters are the next step. Hope that helps. Rod

I would check spark arrester and clean it and the muffler first.lt could be the inverter unit. If you have a meter determine the output voltage, and freq. You would need a scope to look at waveform the repair should be lest to a repair center. suggest you call Honda for more guidance.
You could spend a lot of money on maybe parts./

i usually do a quick test of a small few onzes of fuel down the plug hole and reinstal plag and see if i9 fire up and run for a lil bit. maybe 5 -10 seconds. now i know i have spark . most usually our wonderful fuel is the problem. its just nasty now. it can stick a needle to the seat. it can hold her open . one way ya flood out. the other ya starv out. give it a try.

is gas old? is choke on? is fuel turned on?

try removing the float bowl on the carburator and cleaning, sounds like needle valve is partially stopped up

starving for fuel. the generator will always rev up when it is under a load or about to run out of gas. there will be a few adjustment screws on the carb... one for air and one for fuel. try increasing the fuel a quarter turn and see how that does

I am looking for an EV6010 Honda generator. I know they stopped manufacturing them, but I would like to know if anyone has a leftover for sale?
