Honda EU3000is will not start
Starting a new post. Bought a used 3000is, was told it has been sitting for 1yrs. Things that I did to it: *Carb rebuilt *Fresh new gas *New spar plug *Fresh oil (FILL TO MAX & OVERFLOWED) ...

The eu3000i and I suspect the iS power the ignition coil just like the battery ignition of an automobile. Unlike a lawnmower ignition, the coil on the "3K" must have the primary wire hooked up to energize the coil's primary winding. The coil gets its initial power from the exciter winding on the generator when first starting the unit. The owner's manual provides a wiring diagram and the best place to start checking is disconnecting the terminal at the ignition module and back-probeing from that point. My brother gave me his dead 3K in some pieces and I found a bad ground (green)wire. Details upon request.
