Honda EZ1800 Generator Won't Start 

Nice work Dr. Eliminator! Happy New Year!

As always great reasoning and fix. Thanks for sharing

Hey Jake Thanks for all you do. Your expertise has helped me and I’m sure many others immensely. Question, I have an 1982 Honda generator that needs a new ignition coil and condenser. It has points. All are mounted under the flywheel. Those parts are no longer available. I’d like to switch it over to an electronic ignition system. Do you have any advice on that process? I don’t want to throw in the towel and let it win. Cheers

Really good video, thank you

Tried to follow step by step but failed and I ended up with my both my ears pierced thanks for the help

Question: I got a tach so I can set speeds at a professional level when I restore equipment. I've easily been able to find specs for things like chainsaws. I just got a Ryobi BP 42 backpack blower tuned really well (after cleaning out the carb, which seems to have been the problem with a screen clogged with paraffin) and no amount of Googling turns up any specs. I assume the Low is probably around 3000 RPMs, give or take a couple hundred, but have no idea what the High RPMs should be. I suspect it won't be nearly as high as a chainsaw and maybe in the range of a string trimmer but I really want to set it just right so I protect the equipment no matter what. Any suggestion as to an approximate High end range? Even better, could you direct me to a source for that information? Right now I have the High set at around 7000 and the Low is set at around 2700 and those seem to be the sweet spots. Of course I've backed off on the High end to not run too lean, but the adjustment on this machine is very tweaky and I could be off because I just don't have enough experience to know exactly what it should sound like, even though I do know what four-stroking sounds like on a chainsaw. Thanks a lot for reading!

Nice video Jake, you got her purring like a kitten. 👍🏼👊🏼 Tell Mr Wayne I said hey and to send me an email please sir.

thanks for taking the time to make all these great videos.. nice job....

Nice video Jake... thank you sir!!!!

Awesome video man. Love the channel man. Very helpful content I know it took a lot of work to make. Keep them coming.

I’m only 3 mins into your vid but felt that I had to comment. The explanation regarding why a choked engine might run when an unchoked one doesn’t is top notch. First time I understood that. Thank you!

Greetings from Germany 👍🏻I like your Videos…very helpfully. BR Fabian

Prime for a good time , I Love It . The quickest diagnostic method we can use . Love the Honda carb easy to clean and has a fuel shut off , which should be used . Great video .

Another good video Jake. The fuel system is more than tank and carb. Fuel filters often get overlooked. The 87 fuel we get here in southern Ontario has too much ethanol for our climate changes. Stay Safe. Rick

Yo yo Jake me old mucker.. lots for information for people here.. you are so great in showing the main details.. hope all is good brother

Try using K100 gas additive and your water-in-gas issues will disappear, great stuff. I use it in my two Honda generators , my Honda lawnmowers and my John Deere riding mower, never had an issue with water in the gas. I use 89 octane here in NC.

great video. process of illumination! love it EP

Great I found a video I haven’t watch yet Good day 😊

Very helpful video! I have the same generator and am curious if you know what engine is on these EZ 1800's.

Ok. I think this is one of your best videos. Not sure if it’s because I have this tank on my Honda snowblower, or because the diagnosis was in real time. But thank you for these videos. You do these on your cellphone? Or a dedicated camera? Top notch. Great. A+ and happy new year.

Do manufacturers install similar filters in plastic tanks?

What about sealing the tank with Red Cote?

Nice diagnostic video Jake! Alot of people overlook the tank filter and just start replacing parts. I just noticed that EP is moving in on 50,000 subscribers. Great channel and i always like the wisdom that Wayne shares on some of the livestreams. 🇨🇦🇺🇸👍Roger

That so awesome Honda rapir generator

Hi so much detail thanks

Nice!!! That tank would have been a good candidate for some red kote!

Great video thanks

Good stuff.

Honda engine itself seems to be indestructible

Good job Jake . Bad gas such a pain.

Great diagnostic video.

Awesome. Happy New Year

As Mick would say this is one posh video, well detailed information and smooth running at the end. Keep up the great work, the OLD MAN over and out!

👍

What type meter/tach did you use to check the rpm
