Hi, my generator is less then a year old, i did several welding projects with it but now i am experiencing less power output that i can even see a grinder blade starting up very slow before picking up speed. Welding has decrease drastically, i sense lack of power output, it serviced it once and hasnt used it for long, what do i need to look at?
Check the required oem specs for the speed. Make sure it's running at the correct rpm's otherwise if not you'll have a reduction in AC output at the receptacles.

I'd say your battery in the generator is going bad or bad. They are very small and do not hold a charge for very long. The noise you heard was probably the starter shaft hitting the flywheel cogs. I doubt any harm was done as long as you did not repeatedly try to start it with the key. Why Honda put a battery in these is because they are intended for use in a campground setting, where they would be used on a daily basis and the battery would constantly charged. Whereas people like us buy them for emergencies only, they sit for long periods, and the battery goes flat, and the fuel clogs the carb and we get the surging issue. That's my 2 cents. When I brought mine home new, I Sta-bil'd the heck out of the gasoline, this past winter, on start-up, the unit surges. Of course the battery was flat.

I think that your Honda has the so called "Automatic idle".
If the load falls under some minimal load (20 - 100 W) it automatically goes into it.
This option has to be cancelled or adjusted, in order to handle small loads.
Otherwise you should connect permanent load of 50 - 70 W in order to use your small consumers.
SOURCE: Slow throttle reponse to load
Put something else on the generator (like a light bulb) so that it senses a load, otherwise you wont be able to deal with the load sensing and the lag.
