Hello Chris,

I've wired a 5,000 watt Honda to an SW.  Seems to work out, but I'd
recommend getting the remote start option from Honda (a little pricey at
about $200).  It has the correct plugs and it is easier to determine
what wire goes where (I think it is actually referred to as a three wire
start configuration).  I had to extend the cable and put a 14/3UF in the
trench along with the ac wire.  I also wired up the honda starter gizmo
in the house and then used a three pole, double throw switch to allow
the homeowner to start the Honda either way (they'll appreciate it if
the inverter ever has to get sent in). -- Kurt Nelson
