Love Hondas, every Honda sounds the same they have a signature tune , you can tell them a mile off. 50 yrs doesnt matter you could come back in another 50 yrs and it will still go . Amazing
ok so i recently aquired one of these delightful generators. naturally it didnt run when i was given it so i found the youtube rabbit hole to fix mine. unfortunatly on mine it was a bad spark plug and points. then the cord for the pull start broke. OH WELL i will get it running somehow. TY for the vid
Mike, the smallest generator I've owned was 100 watts and had a 2 stroke petrol engine on it that produced 115 volts. The bearings had gone out, and it was scrapped. In retrospect, I have a Honda 3 horsepower engine I could have made it work on, but it's too late now.
OMG i want one so bad!!! I would never start it and would never use it or make the mistake of keeping fuel in it, would keep it inside my apartment. :D I would love it like it were my child! :D All the best! Cristian
Well Mike I loved the video and it appealed to me so that's what counts! I think that with all the modern gadget's about nowadays that a 200w 4 stroke quiet generator could be a real hit with campers taking computers and phones with camping . Could run a 15 amp battery charger which is a decent size.
Hey Mike love your video. Question thou. My neighbor was a avid old radio collector. His daughter just brought over a brand new in box looks never used Honda E 40 2. Is it worth anything ? I cant really find anything online about the EU 40. Any direction would be appreciated. Thank You....
Hi, will this generator power my Ebike charger, which works on mains 240V and is converted to DC42V 2A? It's used to charge my 36V 16AH li-ion battery. If not, I've seen another of this Honda E300, will that work? Reason for asking is that I'm hoping to bring a small generator on my ebike tour, but am not willing to cart around a big generator. Thanks.
Good job with the video, Mike. I have an E40 like yours and the rubber fuel connection from the tank to the carburetor is hardened and cracked, which causes the gas (petrol!) to leak. I tried different things to try to seal it up, but the rubber parts are too far gone to fix. Did you find the rubber parts ok? I do not have a source of replacement parts; parts are too old for Honda now. Any suggestions? (From Minnesota)
If the generator is damaged in might need new windings. A very tedious process, but theoretically simple. If it's some other part of the electronics just identify the specs of the part and replace it. If the spark plug isn't working then it could be an issue in the ignition circuit. Can be a pain but perhaps quite simple. You would need to know how it works though.
Those " little flyweights things" referred to at 14:14 which open up due to centrifugal force are reminiscent of the Rotary Governor Control mechanism of the steam engine, we used to call them the " Governor's Balls" and they were big balls as the steam engines were normally rather slow and when a governor has to operate at slow rotation the Governor has to have big balls. th-cam.com/video/VP-olwxkw7s/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/NhxRW4l8muc/w-d-xo.html

Very nice. Deserves to be in a museum.
I found one in an old shed of mine and we got it running

That was awesome; I've never seen the inside of one of those generators before!

I have an E40 sitting in my garage. Maybe I'll try and get it started one day
40w is enough to run a moderately speced gaming laptop or a large lcd tv or a good size amplifier & speaker

BTW, you made one hell of a video! Love it! All the best to you and family!
Cristian
I have one , in great condition , even have the original foam packing it came in. where do you live ?
@@scottm7878 I'm interested!
Fantastic video, I'd be worried about shaking the sintered brass filters too bits with the ultra sonic cleaner

Sounds so Quiet...I just found out about this and the 300 watt one... I would Really like to find one... that's a Wild little machine.
Hi mike I have one just like yours had to fix fuel valve with urethane wind sheld rubber mine I think gage says 120 volts

Hi everyone!!
Does anyone have the owner's manual??

Berge Johnson hi, I've been quite fortunate that no parts are needed so far . You are right, finding parts for it now might be very difficult.
