We've lost power enough at my house that I was wanting to get a generator. My current setup has been a 750w inverter connected to my Crown Vic. Not the most efficient use of gas since its about 1/2 gallon an hour no matter what the load is.
My work had this Honda EB5000X for sale. $800. I was looking at getting a 2kw inverter gen but for about the same money I have twice the power. Its 6 years old. With how good Honda stuff is and that I expect to only do 20-30 hours a year it should last me quite a while even so.
After I get it, Im going to go through it, of course.
So far after looking through the manual Im going to do
Oil
Air filter (foam, so clean and oil it. yuck)
Spark Plug
Adj Valves
Fuel sediment trap
Clean spark arrestor
Im kinda thinking about buying a generic hour meter/tach off amazon and putting it on there, just for my curiosity.
Anything Im missing?
