Aoa today mashAllah with the blessing of Allah almighty ive bought a honda 2.5kva genset with (free gaskit) becuz of ups failing due to extreme load shedding here at my place so thought of going for a quality product and got this for 60k with one year honda warranty and 2 free service coupons included its model no is ep2500cx and it can run following things

4 fans, 4 energy savers ,1 fridge, 1 tv,1 router + computer,1 electric pump ,1 washing machiene

all these at a single time (tried n tested) but if u wanna run 1 ton ac then u have to disconnect everything then run 1 ton ac with no problem thats wot electrician told me (H)

honda dealer also told me that they were offering self starter kit now for 5000 rupees.but i said rite now am happy with push start

I have the same Honda generator original Japanese which I bought a couple of years back , it has never given me any trouble and recently I converted it to gas same kit as yours , global I think , and it is running absolutely fine on gas as well. It's a good choice you have made , won't regret it. Congrats. And one thing while running on gas give it a little choke throughout and it will run smooth.

yes it can i have ran my SG split 1Ton so many time on my Elemax 2.2kva on gas but its not good for generator due to high amperes required for AC to run i think so

Mashallah nice generator ... Its good that you bought the original Honda,it would be trouble free and will be having much much longer life than the other chinese generators

a 1ton ac need 3500 torque
ur honda can manage max 2500 torque

so i dont think it can run ac

u need min. 5kv genrator to run 1 ac & some lights n fans

@all
thanks all brothers very much for all ur wishes n nice comments really appreciate that and God bless u all ... i just want peace of mind and ive always make long term investments thats y never went for chinese genset becuz ive heared alot (family n friends) thats chinese brands just give u a shashka of self start n thats it there not good for long run (wether true or not) ive made up my mind going for this honda genset and am very satisfied mashAllah thanks to God almighty

oh and regarding some of queries related to run ac on this genset that i will never do becuz putting so much pressure on this little thing who knows wot happens and it was never meant to run ac so the thing is whenever i will want to run ac then il probably sell it and will go for bigger watt honda genset thanks
