S.A.E grade 10w-30 multi grade oil its recommended from 60F and up. For temp lower than 60F use the 20W oil if its a new Gen(first operation). replace oil after 20Hr. Other than that in normal working environment replace oil evry after 100Hr. Dusty area shorten the time of replacing oil and cleaning air filter. remember not replace hot oil or if the Gen runing !!

Type maker, model, user manual in computer search engine. It will bring up sites to get user manual. In the manual, there is a wiring diagram

Find the correct grade oil ,remove drain plug ,when completely drained refit the plug and fill with new oil to correct level change filter if applicable.

the generator is not big enough to run what you want it needs to be 3500w minimum or 4.5w to be safe although it is stated at 2500 watts , in fact that is the peak load on electric motor start up and its continuous rating will be around 1.8 watts all of this is clearly stated on the specs plate on the generator

The first thing I would do is drain out the old fuel and put in fresh.

Hi Richard Not even the Service centres get circuit diagrams any more. Proprietary Info I guess. Is this a Sign Wave or Inverter Model. Dont Flash the fields. Probably an Alternator Stator controlled by the Rotor Field via brushes & controlled by regulator. Then it may connect to a Semiconductor Solid State Inverter to give clean power for electronic devices Good Luck

Possibly bad gas. Use SeaFoam fuel system cleaner. Check spark plug.

these carburetors are not adjustable any longer. my guess is that the carb my look perfectly clean but some of the jetting may not be perfect. When it's cold, it surges, when it's warm and under a load it runs OK If its under warranty, the dealer doesn't want to spend the $$ to replace the carb.

talk with an accredited electrician as there will have to be a special relay/ breaker in the fuse board of the house the problem is that your genset cannot be running when utility power comes back on as it will destroy the genset the electrician can wire the board so that when utility power is available the gen set can be started but not connected to the house when the utiltiy power fails the relay switches over to the gen set and allows it to start and power the house when utiltiy power is restored the relay disconnects the gen set and reconnects to the utiltiy power supply This is not a job for anyone except a fully qualified electrician

THAT POOR ENGINE HAD TO RUN WITHOUT LUBRICANT AND IS SEIZED UP

Use carb cleaner and spray cleaner into carb to clean. For preventative maintenance use SeaFoam fuel system cleaner.

Type Honda, the model number of your motor, customer service into your computer search engine. It will being up Honda customer service web sites you can contact and ask for info.

How To Replace The Starter Rope On Your Recoil ...

? 4:47 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3NjVomUQJM Feb 25, 2009 - Uploaded by craig1974 Me showing you how to replace your starter rope on your recoilassemblies.

Check voltage on battery (if under 11 volts, charge battery); check voltage from alternator with car running (if volts under 13 volts, get new one); If the above are functioning correctly, check wires going to starter (if wires are ok, you need a starter)

I think there is overload .kindly measure ur load of consumption. Do not run the generator set with high load it can be cause of circuit breaker Tripp off .

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.

if the motor engine is working and no power output then you need to check is there any power out from the generator motor directly (not in the power out put box I hope you already checked in there) generator motor coils could have busted due to over loads. so even the engine is rotating the generator it can't produce any volts.

If it's not a bad receptacle, then one of the generator windings is bad. A Honda is worth fixing, or at least it's worth selling to someone who only needs 115v. It _is_ worth fixing. Or, it _is_ worth selling ''as is.'' // Fixing, assuming it's not a bad receptacle, will involve returning it to the factory for repair, and it will involve either a new winding or an entirely new generator section. You can call them to ask how they will handle such a repair and get an estimate of cost.

No, as with most small equipment engines, the culprit is the carburetor. You'll need to soak it in carb cleaner overnight in a sea;ed container and install the rebuilt kit for it.
