How to remove tank on a honda eg5000cl generator
This is reasonably easy to do. Does the Generator run? Start the generator as it's running turn the fuel Petcock to the Off position. The generator should stall and stop running. This helps safely empty the fuel line and carburettor between the tank and the engine.
Disconnect the fuel line from the petcock tap and plug the ends to stop dirt getting in. On each corner of the tank itself there should be a bolt going through the ribbed edge and a rubber spacer. remove these 4 bolts and the tank should lift up and out. On some generators you might have to remove some trim panels to make it easier.
Refitting is the exact opposite of this.
Honda EX5500 power output
It sounds like you are experiencing an issue with your ex5500 generator where the voltage and frequency are not within the correct range when the generator is running. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the load: Make sure that the load you are running on the generator is within its capacity. If the load is too high, it can cause the generator to run at a lower frequency and higher voltage.
- Check the fuel level: Make sure the fuel tank is full and that the fuel is fresh. If the fuel is stale or contaminated, it can cause the generator to run poorly.
- Check the spark plug: The spark plug is responsible for igniting the fuel in the engine. If the spark plug is dirty or worn out, it can cause the generator to run poorly. Clean or replace the spark plug as needed.
- Check the air filter: The air filter is responsible for cleaning the air that is drawn into the engine. If the air filter is dirty or clogged, it can restrict the flow of air to the engine and cause it to run poorly. Clean or replace the air filter as needed.
If none of these steps help resolve the issue, it may be necessary to have the generator checked by a professional. They can diagnose and repair any underlying issues that may be causing the generator to run poorly.

Honda em5000sx generator runs too fast
it's possible that u may have a worn washer underneath the governor gear it's internal this washer wears due to lack of oil change 4800 is way too high for that engine to operate 38oo max parts are inexpensive although doing the job to repair it is another it's behind the front cover of engine you need washer slider and governor gear totl cost of parts under 30.00.
Why won't my portable generator start?
Hi,
if it was a copy-cat item, it might have been built with cheap parts. Please purchase the real item and you should not have these problems. I would also advise against trying to change a generator's parts because if you mess up, you could accidentally spray carbon-monoxide into your environment which can be deadly.
Thank you.
Honda EU3000is generator will not start with electric starter.
I'd say your battery in the generator is going bad or bad. They are very small and do not hold a charge for very long. The noise you heard was probably the starter shaft hitting the flywheel cogs. I doubt any harm was done as long as you did not repeatedly try to start it with the key. Why Honda put a battery in these is because they are intended for use in a campground setting, where they would be used on a daily basis and the battery would constantly charged. Whereas people like us buy them for emergencies only, they sit for long periods, and the battery goes flat, and the fuel clogs the carb and we get the surging issue. That's my 2 cents. When I brought mine home new, I Sta-bil'd the heck out of the gasoline, this past winter, on start-up, the unit surges. Of course the battery was flat.
