[RE-wrenches] Honda EU7000is remote starting.

2021-05-14 Thread John Blittersdorf
I have a customer with a Honda EU7000is generator that has the propane
conversion and wireless remote starting setup with on/off and start
button.  I want to set it up to start with an Outback Mate3s and aux relay
in a VFXR3648. (2 wire start). Has anyone found a way to do this other than
a third party auto start module?

I had to wait a few weeks on Honda for an Alaska client. They may need a
propane conversion. They also just keep running forever with decent
maintenance.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Generator Distributor

2021-05-14 Thread Mac Lewis
Super tough to get generators right now.  We sell quite a few Kohler for
off-grid purposes and we just can't get them.  We have had 18 of them on
order for a ~a year and we have been a small dealer for years.  The supply
lines were devastated by the pandemic and the demand is through the roof.
This is the case for both Kohler & Generac at least, not sure about Cummins.
Good Luck to you and let us know if you do find somewhere that has them.
