Generator questions!
We are looking at buying either a 3000W Honda inverter generator, or the 3000W Predator brand inverter from Harbor Freight. Will be using these to intermittently charge 2X 6V Trojan golf cart battery...

My plan isn't cheap by any means but the Honda should last for years and parts are readily available.
Honda makes good generators. What kind of "parts" do you anticipate needing?
From my experience it's the circuit boards that fail. It doesn't matter the product. The electrolytic capacitors can't take the heat. They dry up and fail. If the board isn't potted I can repair them if I can get parts. If not then I need a source for a replacement. Other than the electronics then the hoses and plastic parts will fail next from the heat.
I currently own two Honda EU2000s and a Honda EU7000 and so far haven't needed any parts other than new rubber feet for the 2000's
