Aah..! congrats on your generator, this one particularly is awesome, you reminded me of my days in Pakistan where I spent like 3 years with this generator at home, I was the sole guardian of it. It ran good as I did the initial running on petrol and then used for sometime starting on petrol and then converting on gas, thats what increased the life of my generator, with extra care like changing oil and cleaning filters every month and the most important part putting a constant mediocre amount of load , not like shutting everything off and just using lights, or not like putting TV, fridge and everything , just a normal amount of load..!! hope it lasts long, trust me hondas are durable..!! I bought it for 75K , you are getting it cheap..!! charged the battery from generator's charger every 2 weeks, and after every two month charged it completely from generator shop..!!
