PI power mgnt system w/Honda generator.
My 5er had the Progressive Industries when I got it and now I have a Honda 2ki gen. The PI doesn't see a gnd. when running on the gen (floating neutral) so it shows E2 error - no gnd and I have to hit...

This will do it:
Go to a big box store and buy a 3 prong plug. Wire the GROUND pin and the NEUTRAL pin together. DO NOT WIRE ANYTHING TO THE HOT PIN. Plug this into an outlet, any outlet, ON THE GENERATOR ITSELF. Your problem is solved. No permanent changes to the generator. Unplug it when/if desired.
This is called "bonding" the generator.
SCVJeff's method will work but is a little more cumbersome. There is no need for another outlet when the outlet on the generator will work just fine.
