Honda EU3000iSAN EU 3000 Watt Generator w/ Electric Start 50 State Legal - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Not getting fuel
If it's sat for a long time, take out and clean the air and fuel filter for starters. I'd clean or replace the fuel lines as well. A good trick that I've used many times is gas line anti-freeze (methyl hydrate), same stuff they use to octane boost. Don't over mix it, but make sure it runs a little higher than normal for a minute or two, like getting the carbon out on the freeway, cleans it right out. Ether (sure start) works very well, but it's very easy to use to much and/or cause damage, to the machine and you, so I only recommend that for emergency situations. Asides, methyl hydrate is a lot cheaper. Hope I helped, Grim
How do u check to see if a ingnition switch is bad ?
Get yourself a continuity test light, with alligator clip on one wire and a probe on the other end. Hook the clip to a ground, turn the switch on, touch the probe to the connection and the light should come on. If not, cold be just a fuse.
How to remove tank on a honda eg5000cl generator
This is reasonably easy to do. Does the Generator run? Start the generator as it's running turn the fuel Petcock to the Off position. The generator should stall and stop running. This helps safely empty the fuel line and carburettor between the tank and the engine.
Disconnect the fuel line from the petcock tap and plug the ends to stop dirt getting in. On each corner of the tank itself there should be a bolt going through the ribbed edge and a rubber spacer. remove these 4 bolts and the tank should lift up and out. On some generators you might have to remove some trim panels to make it easier.
Refitting is the exact opposite of this.
Honda EX5500 power output
It sounds like you are experiencing an issue with your ex5500 generator where the voltage and frequency are not within the correct range when the generator is running. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the load: Make sure that the load you are running on the generator is within its capacity. If the load is too high, it can cause the generator to run at a lower frequency and higher voltage.
- Check the fuel level: Make sure the fuel tank is full and that the fuel is fresh. If the fuel is stale or contaminated, it can cause the generator to run poorly.
- Check the spark plug: The spark plug is responsible for igniting the fuel in the engine. If the spark plug is dirty or worn out, it can cause the generator to run poorly. Clean or replace the spark plug as needed.
- Check the air filter: The air filter is responsible for cleaning the air that is drawn into the engine. If the air filter is dirty or clogged, it can restrict the flow of air to the engine and cause it to run poorly. Clean or replace the air filter as needed.
If none of these steps help resolve the issue, it may be necessary to have the generator checked by a professional. They can diagnose and repair any underlying issues that may be causing the generator to run poorly.

Why won't my portable generator start?
Hi,
if it was a copy-cat item, it might have been built with cheap parts. Please purchase the real item and you should not have these problems. I would also advise against trying to change a generator's parts because if you mess up, you could accidentally spray carbon-monoxide into your environment which can be deadly.
Thank you.
Honda generator eu6500is overload
if you mean the gas engine starts and then dies, its not getting fuel fast enough, a screen or filter,
if its the type you start then engage the generator and it dies, not sure,,
also a lot them have an oil sensor,, the older ones went bad a lot..., the all go bad eventually, most of the time you can unplug them and it will run fine,,, the wire that is connected near the bottom of the crankcase and usually has a plastic plug within a couple inches, just unplug it and see if that fixes it.... those new sensors shouldn't be very expensive.
those are the two top issues....plugged up fuel supply in the carb or the screen in the tank or a filter in between,, or the oil sensor is bad...
the sensor idea is because you're inside the house and the generator is outside so you wont notice if it runs low on oil and the sensor will shut it off to save it from damage...
