    HONDA Generator EX500 info

    (8 Bit ASCII graphics use code page 437 or 850)
    A few years ago, I was given one of these small old 4 stroke petrol generators
    with no information. It would not start (hence it was given away less loads of
    screws!), but I managed to trace the cause to a completely blocked main
    carburettor jet, after a major strip down to get at the bits it now runs OK.

    But when I laid it up for a while it can be difficult to start (carburettor not
    emptied), I found that putting a few CCs of petrol into the carburettor intake
    fixed that (or using a "Cold Start" ether spay), as dried up petrol is less
    volatile.

    CONTROLS
    It could not be simpler, the RUN /OFF leaver operates the engine kill switch &
    the double petrol & vet tap. There is a bimetallic operated choke, so nothing
    to do other than pull hard on the start cord handle. If the engine has low oil
    then the warning light lights.

    RATING
    In the low rev quiet & economy mode @ 50Hz it gives 330VA, 400VA MAX, or @ the
    noisier 60Hz it gives 400VA, 500VA MAX this is also the "Lamp" mode to reduce
    25Hz 4 stroke flicker.
    It also has 12V 100W charging output, which is 20V on no load, & 6-8A typical
    unregulated charge current.

    ECONOMY
    It is also VERY economical if you don't need high power. e.g. it can run some
    small fluorescent lamps, a rotator & float a 12V battery with 100W HF rig OK,
    for some 7 hours from 1 fill of its small 2.5L tank. So 1 gallon per day is
    feasible when /P for 14 hours/day operating.

    CIRCUIT
    I have reverse engineered the diagram & it is very complex for such a small
    unit!

    Switch
    Î or Ï are connectors.

    DC USE
    Note, the DC is connected to the 230V! So the 230V will no longer be floating
    safely if it is used with the DC output at the same time!

    See my bul on "Regulating 12V genny output" for the circuit that I use with it.

    MODS
    From my long bul "Petrol generators for SSB use", I did the Rev up feed forward
    modification, & it did slightly improve voltage regulation under load. I also
    did the ignition QRM mods, & fully suppressed this generator.

    Y Don't U send an interesting bul?
