Honda Generator
Original Message   Aug 23, 2012 5:24 pm
I just acquired a Honda eb 3500 and a Honda ex 3500 (with electric start).  Neither generator currently runs but both have good compression and I suspect a fuel problem but I wont know until I start working on them.  Both are nearly identical except the em is electric and pull start the eb is pull start only.

Each is rated at 3500 which they should do easily with the GX 240 engines.

Does anyone have a Service / Repair manual for the EB or EM 3500 generators as I have not found on available free on the net.  I can find the user manual but not the service manual.

Thanks

Carl

Honda distributes shop manuals for USA models as printed documents. You can buy one direct from Honda via their eBay store (free shipping):

Caveat: I work for Honda, but the preceding was my opinion alone.

Robert,

The serial number on the frame is EA6-1132317 and the engine serial number is GC04-3855232, would you know what year this was built as I have not been able to ascertain when they were built.

Here is a pic of the eb3500s and em3500s after cleanup and paint and carb work.



Thanks

Carl

Carl:

My records show the EM3500SXK1 was invoiced to a dealer on 5/25/1999. The dealer is no longer in our database, nor has that unit ever had a registered owner. I'd guess that unit was manufactured in the mid to late 90s.

If you will send me your name and address, I can update the records to show you as the current owner. Honda asks for this in the unlikely event there's ever a product safety recall on that model and we need to contact you about it. My work email is robert_coats@ahm.honda.com

Thanks for looking that up for me.  I have sent you an email with my information.

Thanks again,

Carl
