[RE-wrenches] Request for Gennie Recommendation

[bob ellison]

I am a reformed Honda Engine dealer, last that I knew Honda built NO engines
to run on propane. 

It seems that after 400 or so hours they had a bad habit of dropping a valve
from lack of lubrication (or so I ASSume) to the valve train I have seen 3
or 4 engines do that, and I have only seen 4 or 5 Honda engines with propane
conversions.   

There are companies that do the conversions and just handle the warranty on
their own.

 

Just another opinion,

Bob Ellison

I'm installing a small off grid system that has an existing generator.  It
is a Honda EU 6500 converted to run on propane.  It is sweet.  I haven't
found out yet if the conversion cancelled the warranty.  

This would be too small for Allen's current project, but it seems like a
good solution for many systems.
