dahkota, a word of hard-earned wisdom -- run that Honda generator every month, preferably under load, for about a half hour. Use some Seafoam, also. Otherwise, the carb will clog, especially if your gas contains a lot of ethanol (as it does in Calif). If the carb clogs, you will need an expensive service. Please don't ask me how many service calls it took for me to really and sincerely learn this lesson.
Someday, have your service tech show you the carb jets on that genset -- they are about as small as a human hair.
Ack! Thanks! Good to know. It's about 6 years old now and never been serviced. I guess we just always assume it will work. We leave in three months to go fulltime - I'm thinking it would be a good idea to get it checked out?
Add some Sea Foam to the gas also.
