@@SuperRobkar yes I got the board late last night and it appears burned up. I ordered a replacement board from Amazon. I just picked up this generator for $450 yesterday. It has a ton of hrs but it still has a compression of 130, so I figured it worth the chance to see if I can get it going. Now if the inverter board is also bad, that will be a different discussion.
@@SuperRobkar it’s what I would I say is appropriate, But I don’t have a direct comparison. It’s maybe a little harder than my gx390 pressure washer. The electric turns it over pretty easily with a jump pack for power. I was going to check the valve adjustment also. But I don’t feel that it’s particularly abnormally hard.
@@SuperRobkar I just pulled the recoil again, and it’s really not that bad. But yes if it’s the inverter board also, I know the machine is basically just scrap at that point. The control board had some burn marks, burn up resistors. I which I could share on this platform
Thank you for this video. I keep my 6500 in my outdoor shed and I went to start it for the first time in a few months and it fired up and died. I will say I had a brief period of being hard to crank like a shorted inverter module but using this video I pulled this module and sadly it has burn marks heavy on some of the board components. Screen still works and everything. Same issue, moisture causing a short.
Even pretty darn good isn't perfect. At least this is worth repairing and you can get parts. We had a Ryobi that had an inverter board known for failing and because scarce enough it cost more than a new generator.
perfect timing, thank you, I just picked up a 6500 with similar symptoms. so I'll try that tomorrow.
Thank you for sharing.
Let me know if you need any help.

@@wehtjns is it hard to pull start, or slow on electric start? If so, good chance it’s the inverter/

Can you add a link to the purchase of the GCU please? I'm pretty sure I need one but can't turn one up in any search I do. Thanks!
Sure. Here is what I ordered.

@@WyattWerx man sorry to hear that. You think the board would be more robust.
Could setting on wet ground have cased this most likely I think
Eather way keep it inside is best
Anything is possible. I do agreewithyou though, having it inside would be best.
Surprised -- I thought Honda was supposed to be so reliable, like the Toyota of the generators.
They are. It most likely was my fault,but I suppose that board could have been designed better to deal with moisture.

Sir where is rpm sensor of it i want to know pl
