I’m looking to buy a Honda power generator. What size do you all think is necessary to power a house?

I have a Honda EU3000 Generator. I bought the generator for the yearly hurricane season after losing power for a week in 2004. I’ve only needed it a few times since. Because we haven’t lost power in over a year, the generator went unused. It wouldn’t start a couple of weeks ago, so I had to take it to the shop, where they cleaned the carburetor that was clogged from old gas.

I know I can put “stabilizer” or other type gas treatments in before I store it again for the winter, but would it be better to run it till it ran out of gas and just store it like that? I’ve read a couple of forums that recommend much more mechanical stuff that I really want to do, such as draining parts of the carb, removing spark plug, etc.

My goal is to start it up every 3 months or so. So any advice on the best way to store it in between those months is appreciated.

California basically generates almost all of the power within it’s state with natural gas fired generators. There are emission reduction systems which achieve almost zero emissions, yet it isn’t required to be that clean so the power generators don’t use this technology. The best available emissions control technology should be used on this power generation equipment.

Hi! I would like to know when do you use a generator. When do you need one. And also, who normally uses one. (I mean those portable generators by Subaru, Valsi, Powermate, B&S, Honda… any brand) Please consider this as a survey. I really need many answers. Thanks!!

I am currently running a Honda 5000 while we’re without power. I’m just wondering — does it make a different if I run 1000 watts of power from it or 5000 watts? Will I use less fuel if I hook up a smaller amount to it?

Thanks.

Lakely asked:


I inherited an emergency Honda electrical generator.. the generator side is American made and looks very standard to me, but oddly enough, it says “Cycle 50″ on the generator. Now, I thought all electric in the US was 60 cycles per sectond. Why in the world does this say 50. Do I have an oddball thing here that is useless, or is this probably just a misprint or a misundestanding on my part.

I want to use the generator to run my small well pump in emergency if the electric goes out.

Hi. I’m thinking about getting a Honda Power Generator. Talking to the dealer he told me that the oil has to be changed every 50 hours. So if I run it at the rated 9 hours at a time, does that mean that I have to change the oil once a week?
if I run at half load, will that extend the maintenance period?

Hey There. asked:


Looking into buying a generator at my local hardware store and one has a 5.5HP Honda engine and the other is a 6HP Briggs and Stratton. The one with the Honda engine is $40 dollars more however. Should I just pay the extra for the Honda engine?
