Looking for mentioning of remote start capability using remote or phone app and dual fuel capability
For non-inverter units, all the model numbers with “SX” (electric start + iGX engine) have remote start capability. For inverter units, as of now, only the EU7000iS can be remotely started. There are currently no Honda dual fuel units.
Hi Paul, Very good article. Thank you
I have a EU3000is S/N EZGF 1127594. I bought it in Canada. The rest of the letters behind the Model Number I do not have. This S/N is on the frame. Should there be another some where. I need to order parts and want to be sure of the model.

Hi Bob.
For replacement parts, the serial number is all you need.
Thank you for this information, I really appreciate the effort you put into it to make life a little easier for researching Honda Power Equipment. Enjoy your retirement.
so if I have a em5000sxk3, the parts will be the same as any oth3r em5000s generator? I need a new carborator.
Not necessarily. You should check the serial numbers of your units against Honda part finder (opens in a new tab).
Nice work, Paul. You made it quite clear. Thanks!!
On the Honda EU2200i what is the difference between just a i at the end and some with TAG and I think LAN if I got that right?
There are no major differences. EU2200i is the common model name. The final letters are usually US-specific ones to denote a specific version of the model. TAG=made in Thailand (T), for the US-market (A), can be sold in California (G). TAN=made in Thailand(T), for the US-market (A), cannot be sold in California (N).
Thank you so much. EXACTLY the info I needed! 😉
Very helpful info from an expert.
Other than price are there any advantages of a non-inverter Honda generator ?
Non-inverter generators can have a much higher power output. That said, if your budget and power requirements allow it, inverter generators are usually the better choice. You may also want to read this article on the differences between inverter and non-inverter generators.
