    Pick up this cute little generator today,
    Runs and puts out voltage!
    I'm going to tune it up and change the oil.
    Should make a good back up power source.

    And it's probably better equipment than they're putting out today.

    Defiantly a lot less electronics!

    The only thing that would concern me with that machine is parts availability. I'll go ahead and say they'll be scarce as hen's teeth, but I sure hope not.

    Very nice score! I have a Honda 1400 watter vintage early 1990s my brother fished out of someone's garbage and passed along to me. I put about $150 into it for a new carb, gaskets, spark plug, pull cord spring. It runs great and is very reliable.

    To address @Merkun concerns about parts, this should be of help:

    Plano Power Equipment Online Store - Honda Generator Common Parts

    I bought all the stuff for my Honda there. They are good to do business with.

    Good luck...great item!

    I'm actually thinking of getting my own generator to use for a trailer but I'm thinking if it would fit my cargo and Roll N Lock tonneau cover that I use for my Frontier.
