  • That's a great deal and as you said, you can afford to get this one properly fixed and still come out to the good on it.
  • for real.. it was a great price and if anyone wants me to check ill gladly dig for numbers...

    i dont want decent deals that way at all... dude had a vintage airstram and was down on his luck

    seriusly... if there is any way to check, im good with it
  • If it runs out of oil it won't squeal, it may knock a little but mostly it will just stop.
  • Can you check the serial numbers? I had mine stolen a while back and mine made a sound like that too! OK, just kidding, but that price paid was great.
  • it does and i have checked the oil manually to insure that the low oil shut off isnt malfunctioning..

    what it is is i picked up 2 used 2000ius 2 berg 6 gallon extended run tanks which appear brand new as well as the the parallel kit with the meter on front from a guy who needed money.. all that cost me a grand .. the other genset is close to perfect in how it runs

    ill just run it to a honda shop.. with what i paid for it all i can invest back a bit and still be in the black

    it runs fine but id rather get it fixed now if it a bearing going out

    My first thought would be running out of oil but your 2KW Honda should have a OIL ALERT light on the front panel to check..


    I'm sure you will have several authorized HONDA repair facilities around. I too would not want to do anything other than normal operational maintenance on mine.
