Honda 1986 Trx200 Sx Fourtrax 200sx 87 Generator Flywheel With Starter Clutch - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Sounds like a weak spring on the governor

Drain out the overfilled crankcase do not run this engine like this, you can lock up the engine.

Voltage regulator, carbon buildup in the cylinders, the carburetor may need overhauling, engine governor may have a stretched spring, Spark plug may need replacing, Timing may be off, air filter may need changing, and lastly, your load may exceed the ability of the generator.Checking this list will uncover the loss of power

If you filled the fuel tank with gasoline enhanced with ethanol the fuel may be bad and caused the carburetor to gum up. Also Honda engines have a low oil sensor and from your description of the oil, can cause problems with the sensor and the engine won't start. Try changing the oil first and then adding a small engine gasoline additive that helps with stale gasoline starting problems.

The minimum wattage needed to start a air-conditioning unit is usually 3000 watts but there can't be anything else at all using power at the time. If this is on an RV there are components such as the refrigerator, water heater, power inverter and house battery charger that will automatically start when the RV is connected to the generator. These may need to be manually shut off sometimes at the main power box.

it appears to be insufficient fuel flow to the carby check for blockages in the tap , lines , tank filter, needle and seat area

I know it's not a honda, but my generac governor went out, had to take it to a repair shop (still under warranty) they showed me the problem was the pin had snapped, u may have to "bite the bullet" and have a small engine repair tech do it. Its not easy to get to.

Type maker, model, user manual in computer search engine. It will bring up sites to get user manual. In the manual, there is a wiring diagram

Use carb cleaner and spray cleaner into carb to clean. For preventative maintenance use SeaFoam fuel system cleaner.

Type honda em 1900x owners manual into your computer search engine, it will bring up sites to get manual.

S.A.E grade 10w-30 multi grade oil its recommended from 60F and up. For temp lower than 60F use the 20W oil if its a new Gen(first operation). replace oil after 20Hr. Other than that in normal working environment replace oil evry after 100Hr. Dusty area shorten the time of replacing oil and cleaning air filter. remember not replace hot oil or if the Gen runing !!

The first thing I would do is drain out the old fuel and put in fresh.

Always use ONLY fresh fuel... (page 32 of owners manual) it is very easy to forget about because HONDA is such an awesome machine... but EVEN MORE LIKELY... HONDA has a very sensitive self protection device Your oil pressure cut off switch could be responding to the WRONG OIL... DIRTY OIL... LOW OIL or WORSE... OVERFILLED Oil. Check it out in your owners manual.

Hi Richard Not even the Service centres get circuit diagrams any more. Proprietary Info I guess. Is this a Sign Wave or Inverter Model. Dont Flash the fields. Probably an Alternator Stator controlled by the Rotor Field via brushes & controlled by regulator. Then it may connect to a Semiconductor Solid State Inverter to give clean power for electronic devices Good Luck

these carburetors are not adjustable any longer. my guess is that the carb my look perfectly clean but some of the jetting may not be perfect. When it's cold, it surges, when it's warm and under a load it runs OK If its under warranty, the dealer doesn't want to spend the $$ to replace the carb.

Hi,
I have a EM5000SX. My problem is my generator will not start unless I turn the fuel selector to off. Then crank it until it does start, turn the fuel back on. Run's normal . I run this generator for my cabin every weekend.
