Rare 1970s Honda e400 Generator – Will it Run and Make Power?

A subscriber found this 70s model vintage Honda e400 generator on Facebook Marketplace. He bought it from the original owner who said it has not run in over a decade. It looks to be in pretty good shape for its age. Lets see if we can get it to run again.

I have seen gunk like that before in many carbs, Usually its from STABIL that was overdosed and sat a while in the carb.

Honda engine. What a classic. Fun to watch it wobble inside the cool green retro case.

When you were doing load test,,, that thing, reminded me of my old hula doll that was on the dash to my car

R Radar says:

So many upgrades available for this. Exciting work. Does it have a low oil sensor?
