Re: [RE-wrenches] Honda EU7000is remote starting.

2021-05-16 Thread Nick A Lucchese 
I always tried to avoid doing the conversions myself with the Atkinsons 
products but have had great success with the kits from Genconnex.direct.net for 
awhile now. I never get involved with generator sales but pretty sure they just 
went up by about $600 from the time my customer purchased one just a few months 
ago.

They come completely converted to propane and auto start with the GSCM mini and 
extremely easy to integrate with most of the inverters we all use. Recently had 
issues with the EU7000 unit not quite starting after a few cranks since the 
Mini version waited too long in between cycles then after being unsuccessful a 
few times we’d have to reset the Mini by pulling the controller’s power fuse 
and then it would typically start on the second round of start signals. 
Apparently an issue with the internal solenoid that’s installed by Genconnex 
due to safety reasons for site’s lacking the proper shutoffs. Atkinsons was 
great to work with and replaced it with the NEGC version that just goes with a 
10 second delay in between attempts versus 40.

Wasn’t aware of the Generator Line of products. Thanks for that Michael!

I have used this product and I agree that its easy and works well.

However, on the 3 propane honda 7kEU units i’ve installed them on, they all 
have the same issue, they don’t work when its cold, say 30-45F.  The generator 
won’t start on the first and only try that the unit below will do.  And the OB 
only does 1 attempt.  I’ve had to install some added timers so that it will do 
2 start attempts, with it usually starting on the second attempt. 

Maybe others have found some other technique how to get them to start on the 
first try.

So much better than Atkinson. Simple, no power drain on the battery, doesn’t 
need to be reset like the Atkins if the generator fails to start, and not 
glitchy. Just two relays to mimic manual starting procedure and factory 
connectors. 2-wire start only

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?
