Honda GX100 valve service

Ah, remember now :-) Piece of cake.
Thanks Lyndon

Hi Chris
I'm assuming you have the 80 amp Charger not the 55 ?
I use mine to either charge the Tvan batteries 2x100amp or the cars 3x 50amp AGM's. Yes, when flat it works hard, just use low setting to start with.
I bought ours sometime ago and would probably do things as you are suggesting. I don't think high Amp chargers like Ctek we so common 5 years ago? As we use lots of power I didn't want a 5 or 10 Amp charger and have to run it all day. I have had one person complain, my answer, “we I might give you the s--ts for 2 hours a day but you give it to me ALL day with your Generator!” I can't fault the machine, very easy to start and never had a fault with it. As you know it is quite a bit noisier than the Honda's.
There are higher Amp chargers (40 amp) available of EBay. I saw a new 25 amp Ctek for sale on EBay the other day for about $350.
If I was to change over now I would go a EU10, or a larger Yamaha for when I get old and soft and buy a van with an aircon :-). The Eu20 screams it's t-ts of trying to run a aircon so most people don't use it for this.
I store my Christies at the end of the bed in the Tvan. make sure you always run it on your car mat or similar and the filter will stay spotless, mine looks like new. Worked the valve thing out myself in the end. The exhaust valve was a tiny bit out of spec but apart from that all good. Will take me sometime to run up another 200 hours.
Cheers Lyndon

Sorry about the StuTTTTTTer :-)

Hi Lyndon,

Yeah I too have the 80 amp model and has been good to me so far. The box i made for mine I have set up so the unit when running sits up on top of the box to stop it being in the dirt/sand.

Ours typically gets used on the beach at Fraser Is and I find it needs to fully wiped down and sprayed with something like lanotec because it doest seem long for certain components to start corroding. (Salty Air I guess) I took the fly wheel cover off and the fly wheel had corrosion on it.

I don't know what I will do with mine yet I really don't want to sell it but at the moment its only getting used a couple of times a year......decisions decisions!!!!

Cheers
