Anyone have a Honda EM7000IS. This is the older EU7000IS, I think. Generator had 6 hours when I got it. Stored in climate controlled warehouse at 70 since new. I checked the oil, pulled twice and it started. Replaced battery already. Have oil and spare plugs now. I have 2- EU3000IS, 1- Predator 2000, 1- Firman 4000, 1-Champion 3500, 1- Sportsman 1000 inverter generators. Was not looking for another, but could not resist.

Anyone have / had one? Looking for extended run kit, or anyone who made one work. Looking for a large wheel kit for rolling around back yard. Could always use a gorilla cart if no other options. Would be nice to throw on NG and not use gasoline. I have a couple window units and two portable AC for cooling, gas heat, water heating and cooking. My central unit is 5-ton, so I use portable/windows for AC.

Thanks for any information.

I have a EU7000IS, which is a bit different because of being fuel injected instead of a carb. I bought a propane kit but it's so complicated I never installed it. You'll be better off in that regard.

The only real suggestion I have is to dump the SLA starting battery for a lithium one (Noco, etc.) The batteries on my EU7000IS died with such regularity I was to the point I stocked two spares at all times, and once I went lithium that problem went away entirely.

I have two for backup power that I piggy back.  Converted both to propane which I can connect to a 1000 gal underground tank.  I had to replace the batteries after approximately two years.  Other than that, they are great!

Tag for interest.

Honda isn’t cheap, but I’ve never heard anybody argue that they make junk.
