Had Brandon aka GMan look at my genny this morning. It's pretty much toast and no parts available.

Ordered a new Honda 2000 this afternoon.

After being thru 2 Kipor's and no parts available. I decided to bite the bullet.

I really wanted a unit that was 2400watt's. IE a Yamaha model, but after talking to GMan, he said that parts were a mother to get for them.

He also told me and it was conformed at Wise Sales that a Circuit board for a Honda is like $700. :( May as well buy a new Genny than do that.

I have already modified the box on the tablesaw. It doesn't look anything like it did before. More of a tray with a wall on the front side to help deflect a little sound and mount the switch/duplex boxs on.

Lesson learned.

Here's the generator box all cut down. I stole the rubber feet of the old generator in the pix and mounted them on the bottom tray. I figure the bulkhead with the switch box's on it will still help to deflect sound.

The new Honda 2000 is on it's way.

looks like that should work out pretty good.  and with the new Honda not running at WOT you probably wont even know its back there!
