Do you have a question or comment on our product range or service?

Why does my engine start and then shut down?

Honda engines with oil alert will shut the ignition down to protect the engine when the oil level is low.

If your engine has oil alert, ensure the oil level is correct according to the owners’ manual. Also check that the vent is open on the fuel tank if you own a generator with a vent.

Can I run my Honda engine on LPG?
Specific gas engines are available from Honda. Contact your Honda engine Dealer for details.

What are the basic technical specs for my engine?
Refer to the specification page in your owner's manual or click on the Product Range button above and find your engine.
