Picked up a new Honda 2000i generator today , get it home and it wont start. I'm a car guy so I know we need three things. (1) fuel , we have it. (2) air - clean filter. (3) spark ... don't think we got any there. plug is brand new , no fouling. Already removed the "start/stop" plug from the front , still nothing.
Whats the chance of a new Honda coming in with a non-working coil pack? Anything else I should be checking out in the mean time? |

Quoted: Oil? If it senses a low level, it will not run. Definitely true. OP if it is brand new can't you just let the dealer sort it out? It's a great gennie and mine has always been reliable, but perhaps yours has some flaw that the dealer should be able to diagnose pronto and fix under warranty. |

Started on the second pull once I got out a multi-meter and figured out there was a loose connection in the electrical wiring. Pisses me off you spend that much $$$ on a generator that everyone swears by and I manage to get the one I have to diagnose and play with. Such is life.
One step closer to finishing that prepping list though

One step closer to finishing that prepping list though Hey, at least you COULD diagnose it. Lucky Honda, saved them a headache.
