@iulik17d No problems, except for high ripple on the generator output, its normal on asyncronous brushed generators hough. I do recommend break-in of the engine with some idling and replacing oil and adjusting valves at shorter than normal intervals, first time after a couple hours. Mine has almost no use, but havent got any electric and mecanic problems yet, I recommend running the carb dry after use, and storing it with no fuel in tank, It will allways start first pull with fresh gas.
@Da9eI hello again! thanks for reply! I have another question: brushed generator WITH AVR or brushless generator WITHOUT AVR? I find a generator with 6.5hp Kohler and Sincro alternator brushless but no AVR.
@iulik17d Of cource if you could get a permanent magnet syncronous generator(brushless) it would be the best choice, IF you got the money. Im not sure if mine is equipped with AVR or not, usually it is not needed as you can adjust the engine speed to change voltage, most electrical equip. will work fine within 10-15% of specified frequency and voltage. Cheap generator sets are usually better without AVR as it has one less part to fail. In many cases an aftermarket AVR can be added if needed.
@iulik17d Mybe, keep in mind the fridge and pump require a little extra current at startup, a 60hz (3800rpm) generator has slightly more peak power (intermittent) than a 50hz (3000rpm) one. 2kva is 2kw in a resitive load (light, electric heater, etc), but can be less on inductive loads (electric motors and incandescent lights) usually rated at 70-75% of resitive. Small (and cheap) generators are really bad on inductive loads.
@Da9eI sorry for my englesh! I have 255W of economic light bulbs, 100W incandescent light bulb, 240w fridge, 750w pump, 50W TV, 60W laptop, 100w pump and 50w fan for wood heating =1600w. i need a 2kva or 3kva generator?
the 2kva is kipor kge 2500x (25l tank fuel, AVR)
the 3kva is a generator with kohler engine (3.6L fuel tank)
Ive got a 6yr Yamaha inverter gen. the eco mode idle surges..ive cleaned out the unit completely full tune up..still surges.. I just let it run full power unless someone has a suggestion
@netwerkthis Have you filled fresh gas? Old gas can sometimes cause surging at idle. I have never used inverter type generators, but as far as I know they electronicly control engine speed in eco modes and speeds up when power is needed. Just a guess (a theory), if carb is good, the engine speed could be _too_ low which forses the electronic to speed up the motor again. The generator is most likely an AC -> DC (managed) -> AC (inverted) type gen, and sometimes the diodes making DC can fail.
@rowen211 I think it was a 50hp 4-stroke honda outboard. I wish it was mine, I was just keeping it inside for a friend of mine while he was rebuilding his boat.
I actually bought it used, from a friend of mine for about £160. Here in Norwai thats cheap, however I have seen similar ones at much lower prize on ebay (new)! The good thing is, it was never used. I was the one who filled fluids and started it up the first time! And yes, the muffler is big, and the carb actually makes most of the noise.
hello! i want to buy a cheap generator. what you can tell me about clone honda generators? do you have any problems? thanks!

@netwerkthis This is JUST a theory, take it with a pinch of salt. In most cases in quality gen sets its a fuel related problem.

Thats actually a JD (Jang Dong) because i have a snow blower with the exact same engine on it but the muffler looks like the Honda ones

Is the voltage still or floating? Does the AVR work properly when you changin load?

Nice generator, its got one hell of a muffler on there, how much did you pay for it?
