What's your opinion on valve lash adjustment on these?
I have an Onan 5500 Marquis Gold on-board generator that I had the valve adjustment service performed on last year. It was due for it based on hours. I can't say that I noticed any difference.
My hunting partner has two of the Honda EU2000i (not sure on model number) generators. He treats those like a red headed step child. Regular (not using non-Ethanol) fuel, infrequent oil changes, even less frequent servicing and they still run good. At what hours does the manual say to do the valves on the Honda?
Every 200 hours. Yeah, I was skeptical. I know someone who bought one on my recommendation and they beat the **** out of it too. They are reasonably quiet and have clean power. I totally understand why someone would buy an el-cheapo for infrequent use, though for regular operation these are the way to go. I don't care for the droning overnight at a campground.
