Is that the one that the float opens/closes? I actually forgot to clean this one than the float controls but engine is running fine.

To the guy who said to drill and bore the jet out oversized….Is that really a thing on generators? I assume it’s not really an engine performance mod, but rather just creating a larger hole so as to make it less likely for the jet to clog up in the future??? Please explain. Here’s one final...

Ok so yes it turns out this was a dirty jet in the carb. I cleaned it and problem solved. I wish parts were readily available for these carbs honestly. Maybe they are and I just don’t know it. I did find the gasket kit but that’s it. Here is a pic of the adjustment screw (not mounted to...

Honda EM5000S generator in seemingly excellent condition, and has good fuel, air filter, spark plug. Generator does not surge at idle. Only surges under a load, and it's not always a consistent surge, meaning it will fluctuate slightly, and come and go. I can hold my hand on the governor...

Ok cool gotcha, didn’t realize that.

Yes Sir, exactly what I’m doing. I really prefer propane because apparently natural gas comes from the county only around here and I prefer to have my own fuel on site in my own tank. Does anyone have natural gas delivered to a privately owned tank or is that only propane?

This question applies to any product, but at the moment I want to buy Hubbell twist lock plugs and I’d like to order them ASAP, get it done tonight and have them delivered ASAP of course too. This always turns me to Amazon with whom I have a love hate relationship as do all of you I’m sure...

Anyone care to tell me the premier Honda generator parts and info source online? Preferably a company with a good knowledge base on Honda generator parts etc? There’s gotta be someone who is Tier1, no? Parts is my main goal here. I don’t care about who sells the most generators. Anyone can do that.

On a similar note, I recently bought an older but very low hr Honda EM5000s and I’ve been wanting to ask you guys who is a good parts source for these Hondas? It would be nice to find a parts source with a good knowledge base on these Hondas as well. For instance, at the moment I’m trying to...

Great info above guys. Thanks. That just gives me an idea. As for diesel and gasoline storage though... The moisture and algae growth issue has always intrigued me. I've worried about this issue for years, with old diesel trucks sitting for long periods of time and I have never once...

Trying to decide on gasoline vs diesel vs propane/gas generator to primarily provide power for heat pump and A/C unit in a small 1500 sq ft house in a power outtage. I think the A/C is 3.5 ton maybe? It pulls only 8amps after startup and I do have a Micro Air Easystart box if needed to help...

I’m not totally sure what “angle” feature means? Is that where you torque a fastener to *** ft-lbs and then go plus 90 degrees for instance? Most vehicles I work on are of older vintage, but it would be nice to have the ability to torque on modern vehicles as well. Please elaborate. Thanks for...

Thanks for the Norbar recommendation. I’ve never tried one. One more thing, if I were to convert to digital, what is the recommendation there?? Norbar as well?

Man I also hate the plastic plugs that fall out of the handles as well. The torque wrenches work well, and I feel they are consistent and accurate, but I feel there is better available on the market.

Is there a line of click style torque wrenches with a high tooth count and a decent working FWD/REV lever that won’t inadvertently flip from FWD to REV on me every time I slightly brush it up against almost anything? If you breathe on this thing the lever loosely flops over and it always happens...
