I bought my Honda in 2000 so it's coming up on 18 years old. Still runs great.

Yeah, my neighbor bought his in 2000 also primarily for camping. 18
years old and it still runs like new.

I've only changed the oil in mine twice in 12 years and it has many,
many hours on it because the contractors used it daily for a summer
to power the stone cutting saw when they were installing the bluestone
for the pool. I figured it was a donation to the pool installation but,
it still runs.

Yesterday I checked the oil level. It's supposed to shut down if the
oil drops too low. Oil was still full on the little dipstick.

I also pulled the spark plug recently figuring that after all the hours
on it the plug probably needed to be replaced. Nope. Electrodes were
still in great shape and even the gap was per spec.

Amazing little generator. The only problem with them is that they
generate 124 vac, single phase only, so you really can't backfeed
a house power panel with them. I ran my furnace yesterday by pulling
out the hot lead for the furnace circuit from the breaker in the
house panel, wirenuted a power cord to it and ran the furnace for a
while off the generator.

My gas heater has a plug on it to a wall outlet for the heater.
