I have this Honda 7000 Watt Inverter Generator (EM7000isa), purchased from a marina bankruptcy sale. They had 2 units in storage, still crated and both had never been started, other than factory oil, just a little gas and both started up immediately and run super quiet (Eco Throttle Mode included).
After about 1 hour use each year, one unit is sold and I want to keep the other one but am not sure if there are specific steps to prolong the life of the components ?
The unit I now have has 4 hours on the LCD Panel, brand new gel battery for the starter and I drain out all fuel after each use, including carburator. I've changed the oil once a year and have used Mobil 1 0W-30
While the inverter is stored, used a little CRC on the wheels, handles and it has no rust, spots or blemish but am wondering if something else may need routine care, ie. rubber hoses, other electrical components, something else ?
The marina had these in storage 2 years and I've had the one unit now 3 years. The only difference in EM7000is vs EU6500is are the side cosmetic/noise abatement panels around the body.
