Re: Champion Generator

I really couldn't find anything substantial to say yes or no on the net. Please clear this up. Thanks. I had a chart but can't find it right now. From memory EU1000i, EU2200i, EB2200i = Thailand EB3000c, EU3000i, EU3000is = Japan EU7000is = India All large frame 120/240V EB, EG, and EB models = China EG2800i, EB2800i (Open frame inverter) = Swepsonville, NC - - - I work for Honda, but the preceding is my opinion alone.

• Every Honda generator is test-run at the factory; power output levels, engine speed, circuit breakers, Eco-Throttle, etc. are all evaluated. The oil is then extracted from the engine, but a tiny amount usually remains in the crankcase. • The owner's manual has a maintenance schedule and it says to check the oil level before each use, and to change the oil after 1 month or 20 hours of use. Afterword, change it every 6 months or 100 hours of use. Many models incorporate a sequence of blinking LEDs to indicate the hours of use that have accumulated. • Honda recommends using a petroleum-based oil (SAE 10W-30) but synthetic is acceptable. The only reason Honda recommends a petroleum-based oil is because that's the type of oil used when the emissions system is certified. • Engineers have told me the key getting the most life out of any small gasoline engine is to (a) change the oil per the schedule. (b) Use a good quality SAE 10W30 oil. - - - I work for Honda, but the preceding is my opinion alone. Robert@Honda405Views0likes0CommentsRe: Honda's new EU2200i model...

Yes, if the timing belt should break, the valves will indeed collide with the piston.890Views0likes0CommentsRe: Potentially Dangerous Generator Failure

Bobbo wrote: Everything I have ever read says they must be the same model generator from the same manufacturer. Not true...the Honda EU2000i, EU1000i, and variants (Camo, Companion, industrial EB2000i) are manufactured at a Honda-only plant in Thailand. The plant does NOT make any 'OEM' or other branded products. - - - I work for Honda, but the preceding is my opinion alone. Robert@Honda464Views0likes0CommentsRe: Securing Honda 2000

So I was visiting a big Honda commercial mower dealer out in CA, and they were prepping some new mowers for a client. After everything was inspected and tested, the shop guy wheeled them outside, and use a can of brown and can of black spray paint and randomly painted over all marks, stickers, taking care to not get any paint on the engine or controls. He then sprinkled loose soil, clippings, and debris which really made the mower look like absolute ****. He looked up at my shocked face and smiled, "So they don't look like Hondas, and won't get stolen off the trailer"773Views0likes0CommentsRe: What year are my honda 2000s
Yes, just drop me a PM with the full serial number (EXXX-1234567)I can pull up some history...not an actual date it was built, but I can approximate that based on when it was wholesaled to a dealer. I can also let you know if there are any active recalls, updates, bulletins, etc. that apply to that serial number. - - - Robert@Honda Social Media Consigliere Caveat: I work for Honda, but the preceding is my opinion alone.305Views0likes0Comments
