what is the expected service life of a GX270 Honda

[DarkBlack]

How many years was lance Armstrong, tested and certified by multiple agencies and countries, to be not doping?

Youæ±*e off in the weeds with your flat earth stuff. Armstrong was proven by multiple nations to be compliant over a period of years. Millions bought in to it, how could it not be true?

You throwing in bmw certified this internet posterç—´ pro-bmw story , is a minuscule, yet parallel analogy to the Armstrong fact.

Of coarse I don稚 believe this bmw job connected internet poster hit exactly 500, 000 miles at the southern most tip of a continent, promoting a bmw air cooled gasoline engine that has never needed a seal, ring, or water pump bearing. Absolute BS.

You are free to buy into it, though.

I ride my BMW GS air/oil cooled boxer powered motorcycle and know that it will never require an engine teardown in my lifetime.

That痴 not just illogical reasoning, that痴 downright silly. You can pump up bmw internet posts as much as you make time for. Posting an obvious bs brand mileage post , and then posting it applies to all, including yours is silly.

Really, you know your brand will never need a tear down??? Really??

I致e met plenty of past bmw owners that would never buy another, because of reliability issues. I知 starting to think you have a vested interest in hyping that brand.

It will run forever might have to adj valves once in a while. Have several running on vacum pumps in our sugar bushes. they run for days at a time wide open with never a failure. change the oil each season and never misses a beat one evens runs on propane.

Its nice to think something will last forever, but even though I like my Honda, I know it will inevitably die at some point! You say you run them for days at a time? How long is the syrup season? 2 months maybe? And if it doesn't freeze often enough it's all over in a matter of weeks? So I'm guessing they Should last many years as the hours won't add up that much

I have always heard very good things about the Honda's GX series engines . However I own going on over ten years a JD genny with a Subaru 404cc 14 hp engine . They call it the E40 , imo from my personal experiance . What a great engine it has been . Not many hrs on it because I have only used it only in the field to power corded tools and during many Fla hurricane power outages , but its been flawless !!! I even like the oil filterless design on them . Just drain , fill and run .

BTW I was just looking at the JD gennys just for sake of looking . I knowticed the first three were priced cheap but they dont list what motor they are useing . I suspect chonda chinese clone motors , but after that if you scroll down they start comeing with GX engine offerings etc ..............

Those generators have a fairly good THD rating. Yes, the no name engines are almost always Chinese clones but there must be other differences since the THD drops to 5% on the models with better engines. 100% copper windings vs AL and copper, etc.

Subaru made great air cooled gas engines but I thought they dropped out of the market? Or maybe not, I am not sure.

 

[bullbreaker]

Yes your correct imo I had forgotten about the windings , brings cost up/down ............ Yes also Subaru dropped out of market like 2 or 3 years ago .
