Here I picked up and was going over a Honda ES6500 that only needed a new battery and cleaning.

This was probably the best generator Honda made. The engine is built like a car engine, and can run for days, great for a standby. If you find one running, especially for $5-600 its worth it.

That's a very nice Honda

Usually when a generator has both keys it's led a very easy life. ! Love the es6500 but parts are getting so expensive.

It’s probably my favorite generator Honda made, if not then top 3. Yes the parts are getting expensive and hard to find. I have another clean one that needs a stator but I can’t find one for it.

@@atvrepairsandmore2482 I picked up a very clean Honda ex4500 that still has the tag hanging on it. My es6500 came from Ohio all the way to Florida with me. Off a letgo ad. The ex4500 shared the generator head with the eb5000 so those parts are easy to find sometimes. Honda made some really good stuff. Back in the day for sure. My new eb6500x is nice with it's computer controlled throttle but damn they're made in China now !!!

@@OTAlucard I bought a new 2017 EM4000SX. Really pissed me off to find out it was made in chiner. Sold it in 2021 for $200 less than what I paid new. Bought a new 2021 EU3000iS. It is up for sale, underpowered. I want a new EU7000iS. Problem: They are made in india.

How many DBs does it kick out?

These always leak fuel. You need to keep that valve closed when not in use.

@atvrepairsandmore2482 Жыл бұрын

I have not had issues with them leaking. You only need to turn the fuel off for storage or transporting. If your generator is leaking fuel right after shutting the generator off, it probably has a issue.

Odd ball question that I need answered, and was hoping that you could. Does the rad fan run all the time when the generator is running? Or is it only when it gets hot enough?

@atvrepairsandmore2482 Жыл бұрын

On these, it only runs when it needs to since it is liquid cooled.

On mine the fan runs all the time. Got it for $310 at an auction. Works 100%. Oil change is a pain as the oil filter is blocked by the panel. Awesome generator though.

It ended up being the fan motor. For some reason the brushes backed out all the way and stuck. Clearanced them a bit and worked perfectly.

I just picked one of these up for $40 looks like it might have caught fire at one point. Carb needs replacing and other odds and ends. How well did I do for $40 if it even works, one day?

@atvrepairsandmore2482 Жыл бұрын

Great deal. Easily has over $40 worth of parts
