The 6100R is identical to the Robin Subaru RGV6100 -- evidently rebranded under the Makita name. I just finished running the Makita G6100R almost non-stop over the past four plus days as we have lost our power due to an ice storm. Especially well liked by my men is the auto idle feature along with the fact that even at open throttle this unit is very quiet, very important whe running 8 hours a day. Ran my entire house on the generator (with a 20 AMP twist lock plug wired into my circuit panel)for 5 hours with no problems. The inline four does not like to rev as much as my Sabre's V4, nor does it have the same unbridled ferocity, but it's ride is so gentle and unhurried, I think I could ride it comfortably for hours. I like the way Robin builds their engines, all ball bearing construction.
My complaint is a minor one, and may simply be a spark plug that is on its way out. This article also gets into some causes of a bad alternator, because sometimes it may be something apart from just wear-and-tear. Smaller sized companies, on the contrary, may need to believe their modifications properly prior to applying them. Usually, the available brands for sale may comprise Mitsubishi, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and many more car models which are really worth buying. It also has more available surge power than ever anticipated. Ground to 10mm bolt power tapped into center console. Pushing the center button selects the highlighted item. Makita built by Robin compare feature to feature and quality wise with Honda. Idle switch is great along with smooth and QUIET running Robin (Subaru made) engine. 5 HP running is literally no sweat. Remember to research first before you purchase one so as not to waste your money by buying the wrong thing. Honda's have an interference fit engine so if the belt brakes, you will be buying a new engine. Finally, we wanted to be able to hook the generator into our house circuitry so as not to have to deal with extension cords.
I have use this gen twice so far and it will power my whole house no problem. Connecting to the house circuitry meant installing a transfer switch for safety and to meet National Electric Code requirements. So don't go calling the Volt a hybrid around GM's people 鈥?the company's preferred term is extended range electric vehicle or EREV. A larger generator would be needed if we wanted to run our central air conditioning system, the hot water heater, and/or the electric range. Whether it's time for your next factory recommended maintenance visit, a routine oil change, new tires, or repair services on your brakes, muffler and exhaust, suspension, air conditioner, or any other mechanical or electrical component of your car. There is no real high speed adjustment on the carb (gotta love EPA regs which mandated this carb change!), so the engine pretty much has to run the way it was set at the factory.
The engine produces 192 horsepower at 7,000 RPM and 162 lb-ft. The filter is a round paper element that goes in that hole in the side of the engine. I bought a new Toro lawn mower with a B&S engine which suffered the exact same fate - the seams in the plastic gas tank failed. Perhaps I am just unlucky with B&S products. I'll check shortly. All in all, I would buy this generator again, especially appreciating the price it is today, which has risen over 230% since my purchase! By the way Amazon has the best price on these gens. This Makita has been as good or better than any and is easily the best for the dollar. Keep your Honda healthy and trust that nobody knows your Honda better than Honda. Honda's Insight is noticeably better than that of its driver. This is purchase "gift".

The little old ladies in their Morris Minors were replaced by yuppies in BMW and Mercedes convertibles as housing prices had gone through the roof, which had attracted a whole different group of inhabitants.
In that part of the world, automobiles were still expensive, and the inclusion of automatic transmission and other cutting-edge Honda parts at that time just caused the prices to soar even higher. World wireless power transmission market is segmented based on type, range, application and geography. A transfer switch allows you to power essential, pre-selected branch circuits (refrigerator, living room, dining room, for instance) from either utility power OR generator power, but never both simultaneously. I purchased a Gen/Tran PowerStay 200660 manual transfer switch, which allows me to switch up to 16 branch circuits between utility power and generator power. The Makita is wired into a transfer switch, and powers my 2HP 220V water pump, freezer, fridge, and sundry lights and outlets. Just recievd the Makita G6100R 6100 Watt Generator and was very impressed on how it worked. We settled on a Makita G6100R generator and I have been very happy with it.
