HONDA GENERATOR LOST COMPRESSION AND REGAINED IT WITHOUT REPAIR?
A mechanic came to fix a tenant's generator, which my 7-8months old Honda generator [accessible to the mechanic as both generators are kept in the same place] was still working fine at the time and still is after this incident. The mechanic left earlier in the day and I went to start my Honda generator later that same day only to discover that my engine had completely lost compression. After several attempts to start the generator [about 8-10 attempts], the generator finally started with a large burst of smoke. I let the engine run for about a minute or two and all the smoke dissipated, then I turned it off. Now, it starts immediately with only one pull [attempt] just the way it is supposed to be, just as it was before the mechanic came by. Till this moment, it still starts on one pull [attempt] and it does not smoke. Basically, it has regained its compression without any repair done on it. I'm convinced that the mechanic tampered with my generator, I just want to know what exactly he could have done to it.
If this engine has bin storage for the winter it may have had oil in cylinder this where may get smoke. You may have had stuck cylinder this is possible for smoke if it has ben sitting with out service for the winter I have never seen this before in the years as mechinic
- Our 2006 honda odyssey lost acceleration/power and was towed? Was towed. On first start now, it starts for 1 second and immediately turns off. On second start, it only whines like a flooding sound. The engine light is on. The van is stranded. Please let me know where to start. What do these symptoms mean? What are the signs of a bad egr valve? It it air or fuel intake? Spark plugs are fairly new. Starter is fairly new. Our budget is very small.
- My honda 2001 honda 400ex started smoking and lost alot of power? It smokes pretty badly like a 2 stroke and doesn't have power like it used to. Could it just be the head gasket it does have a litte oil around it? Or could it be more serious valves and rings?
- If i make a wire harness will it work with out pulse generator and icu on 85 1100 honda shadow? If i just make direct line from stator to rectifier to starter selonoid and coils will it be fine with out the pulse generator and the 2 icm/icu? I want to eliminate a bunchof stuff on it and i was wondering if that could go as well. It was a mess when i bought it i will figure it out if it must stay but i just need to know if it can go because it will be less of a headache if i can keep it going with out it.
- 1972 HONDA MOTORCYCLE COMPRESSION PROBLEM? I'm looking to buy a 1972 Honda CL350 and it has low compression…60psi in the left and none in the right. The guy I'm purchasing from said he was in the process of a rebuild and replaced the piston rings and seals. He said he purchased it running but it has not run in about 2-3 years. What could be causing the low compression? I realize it could be multiple things but what would be a ballpark figure be $$$-wise to fix?
