I am a firm believer in "if it ain't broke don't fix it" Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

I have the same generator, but the US version. I converted mine to tri-fuel using the MSK7000 kit and it runs great. Only 73 hours on it right now since it is for emergency backup power only. Hopefully it lasts as many hours as yours. These are amazing little machines. No wonder many of the food truck vendors rely on Honda generators for daily use. Best of luck to you...great channel and review of your service history!

Thank you for all the great content! 🙏 I had Honda 1100XX Super Blackbird motorcycle and valve adjustment is every 48tkm, or 30 000 miles. My mechanic is Blackbird specialist and he measures the valves before and after. After 14 years and 48tkm, the valves exceeded factory specs. They measured like they have were adjusted yesterday. The mechanic said, in reality, that 152-164hp/11000rpm engine "maybe"needs valve adjustment in every 100k miles. Maybe. And the engine lasts at least half a million miles, with just basic maintenance. After that, it will be sold to Africa and they use it for next half a million miles. What's mind boggling, that engine needs 10w30 mineral oil. Mineral oil! If you put something better in it, prepare for problems. Trust me, I know. I tried maybe the best oil there is, motul 7100 and the whole bike vibrated like crazy when opening the clutch. I replaced the oil back to Hondas own mineral oil (from the 1990's). Problem solved.

I have so much confidence in this machine, I will definitely keep you posted, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

How many hours are you at now?

​@@aaanton11doesn't matter if it's original or Chinese clones. The key to longevity is to use motor oil from reputable brand, frequent oil change if frequently used, use quality spark plugs from NGK, champion or DENSO, clean the air filter. And as the generator starts to age , use a slightly thicker oil, whether synthetic or mineral. I use mineral since it's cheaper and I do frequent oil change

Thanks for the info!

w 700mm d 700mm h 760mm hope that helps Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

⁠@@aaanton11 Hi I hanks for the speedy reply. So if I have leftover 800mm square space in the back of van then I can easily manoeuvre and store securely please.

by the way... it is a little used generator.. less than 100 hours of use

So for info: I checked the spark plug... looks clean, no wear, dry, ... I checked the fuel tank, no water in there... I checked the wiring like the loop plug... all ok Is there a way to check the fuel filter? Fuel pump?

when it cuts out disconnect the spark plug, remove spark plug reconnect the lead to the plug hold it to the engine block and crank the engine, do you have a spark? is fuel vapour coming out of the plug hole? Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

This one has just stopped, needed to repair it here is the video, have you seen this fault before ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MDwyOmbOCyE.html Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

I heard a knocking sound when engine was turned off. Definitely need valve adjustment.

just under 10,000 hours, new video coming soon, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

@@aaanton11good stuff, proper test you are giving it ! Let’s hope it makes 20,000 hours. Guess if it was a car it would have done just over 300,000 miles for those hours. Considering it runs all day and not too many cold starts I can see it feasibly doing the equivalent of 5-600,000 miles, 20,000 hours! If it starts to smoke or gets rod knock fitting a short block would be a good project! Hope that’s 10,000 hours plus away though !

Glad you like them! & the Honda generator it a great tool to see how a engine works, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

No, I have not noticed another filter in the system, Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Still have the senci, but it doesn't get much use. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

95 Ron unleaded , Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Thanks Gary the Honda is a gem, Solar system still in the pipeline, I am still waiting on a good deal, its got to be the right price or the project will be unviable. I am sure it will all come good. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

When determining service intervals as a rule of thumb under normal conditions, we equate hours to km equivalent in a motor vehicle as 1 hour = 50km. So this would work out at about 405000km. In this application, there are relatively few heat/cool cycles, so with a good quality (Honda is) piece of equipment and good servicing, 8000h is not a huge surprise. However, considering its a smaller petrol motor. For it to still be running this smoothly is a great endorsement to the product and the care taken of it.

Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Buy nice or buy twice.
