Help with Honda Generator

Being a drag racer I can build a V8 to make over 800HP. But when it comes to small engines, I am lost! My class C has a Honda EV4010 generator. There is no spark in either plug. How do I track this down to solve the problem? Any and all help or advice is greatly appreciated.
  • My BIL is a long time Super Gas (Bracket II) guy.
    "Scarlett Fever" '62 Corvette.
    Has had automotive shop, then for many years a Smog Test shop in So. CA.

    Yeah - he has several other cars & trucks (including a self-designed electric pickup), builds engines, etc.......but when the Onan in his car hauler failed him, he gave up & took it to the Onan outfit for a wallet cleaning.

    It runs fine now, so I guess he's happy...;)

  • what I'm about to say is not scientific, but a friend of mine when he had trouble starting his Honda, he would shake the heck out of it and it would start on the next pull.
  • Any chance it's just low on oil or sitting at an angle that causes it to be?
    That will shut down the ign.
