Is the Generac engine as good as a Honda engine?

Well if it's not as good is pretty close it. I never had any problems with this engine. Very reliable and strong. I trust this brand.

Can't say I can compare it to the Honda engine since I have no basis from which to start. I can tell you I have used the machine for a year and it runs perfectly. I do take care not to let fuel sit in the carb. I run it out every time so not to gum up anything while it sits. Changed the oil as well but all of that is just conscientious maintenance anyone would do to protect the investment. I can only report no problems, easy starting and runs well after a year.

I know the generac I have is the best only power washer I ever will buy it cranks on first just about every time have not have any problems and I power wash at one three houses over 1500sq ft in one day

My last power washer (a much older model) had a Honda engine - but this is my first Generac. I've had it for several months, and in every respect so far it seems to be its equal. It starts immediately, and runs powerfully. I have been very happy with this unit. Just used it yesterday - works like a charm.

It appears to be a Chinese copy of the widely used Honda engine. I have heard that some of the Honda parts can work in this engine, but I have no personal experience with that. Regardless, parts are available for the Durostar engine should you need them. I verified that before buying the generator. I have had mine for several months now, and it is working fine. Hope that this helps you.

No, it's a Generac OHV 196cc engine. -Guess Generac makes their own engines. It's not a B&S.;

check out the spec's, their fairly correct concerning your question about its comparison the the Honda's. It is very quiet, I use the one have on my cabin boat to run my A/C when achored off shore.....

You can adjust the output pressure. You can download the manual from generac and see more answers you didn't know to ask.

The housing on this generator dampens its noise very well. It is MUCH less noisy than a portable generator on a frame.My old Sears lawn mower is LOUDER than my Generac. It makes about the same noise as an average lawn tractor at medium RPM.

Yes, it is good for your Honda. 750 mA is the power output. Means it can charge batteries more quickly.

I can't say, as I have no knowledge of the Honda generator. Originally, I too was interested in a Honda, but I found the price too much for my budget.

Its a great generator overall. The noise level is acceptable, and the price compared to a Honda is right on the money. Very happy with the unit.

Huh, try this model Powermate PM0497000.04 Powermate PM0497000.04 8,750 Watt 389cc 13HP Honda GX390 Gas Powered Portable Generator My experience with lawn mowers with Honda motors is they start every first pull & run forever. But this is an electric start generator, I don't use it weekly, maybe 2 - 3 times a year. If I start it monthly, I'll know if it works or not & fix it.

my lawn mower has a honda engine on it and it is 5 or 5.5 hp, I compared the picture of the part to my old broken pull starter and it was a perfect match, that's how I knew it would work. Take yours off and compare it to your old one. Thanks, Dave

It's not to bad for gen this size. It will never compete with the Honda, but great inexpensive choice

I have an '08 Honda Fit with original Honda alternator which had always been a bit underpowered and I haven't experienced any additional strain.Hope this is helpful. The lights are superior.

Larger engine, louder, more wattage, less $ and so far, runs very very well. I've had no problems in the year I've owned it. However, if they were the same price, I'd take the Honda, they simply have a longer track record of flawless performance and reliability. But I've had no problems at all with the Hyundai. It starts on the first or second pull every time and sips gas.
