Yesterday, I came across a Craigslist ad in Northern California (Mendocino County), selling two Honda Generators. I was shocked at the hours on them.
They had an EU7000is inverter generator with over 9100 hours. This is the current version sold. They also had an older, EU6500is inverter generator with over 6300 hours.
I happened to own the EU6500is with "only" 3900 hours. Mine was bought used, for cheap with high hours after coming out of a local steel factory. Had the replace the rings, adjust the valves, replace the fuel tank and it is as "good" as new. Filled it up with Mobil 1 15W50 (I know dinosaur 10W30 is recommended) and it purrs again.
I will try to find out from the owner how you accumulate 9100 hours on an air cooled generator from the owner. Can anyone top these hours with their generator.
