Default Honda or Kipor (was) 500 W gensets

It actually isn't a sticker but silk screened right onto the metal of
the panel. Kind of amazing we never heard about a lawsuit of some
sort.

Years ago, I was part of a deal that went down the tubes because a
Japanese company refused to sue someone. I was told that they have a
cultural issue with suing and almost never do so. Maybe this proves
it.

My father gave me a Coleman that had a sticker reading "Powered by

there is not a single Honda part in it. The engine is Briggs and

Coleman has always used Briggs & Stratton as far as I know, which of
course has led to their reputation for being noisy and unreliable.

Sounds like the sticker took a walk on the wild side somewhere prior
to purchase.
