Re: Honda generator EV 6010 problem
#1   Nov 24, 2008 12:37 pm
I have an EV 6010.  It has over 5000 hours on it and it generally runs very well.  I've ben told I should get up to 10,000 hours out of it.  It requires maintenance like anything else.  The best guys in the country (USA) are the guys at Hicklin Power in Iowa.  They are friendly and know this generator like no one else.  In my experience, I've found that the automatic choke, despite it looking normal, needs lubrication on occasion.  I simply spray a silicone or other product (WD 40, etc) on the linkage which does the trick.  Since I put a lot of hours on this machine, I use the maintenance kit every 250 hours (which doesn't apply to you).  It's important to have the precise Honda spark plugs in the machine (NGK).  I tried a different plug and wound up with nothing but trouble.  Make sure the proper (original) plugs are in the machine and try simply lubricating the choke linkage and see what happens.  You may be pleasantly surprised.
