Honda generators are perfect are they not? Or at least if one pays regard to internet forums they are.
At least this time Honda had the decency to do a recall (worried they'd be sued if one caught fire I suspect) which is more than they did for the issue with the spark plug cap - see my posts six months back.
Currently my, young, Honda EU20i generator has an issue with starting and serious kickback which I shall try to have attended to, under warranty, when I'm back in the Melbourne area.
In any event: do not believe all you read from people on the internet who probably use their generators for 25 hours per years - Honda generators are far from perfect. Confirmation bias at its best.
