honda generator enclosure?

[springermnguy26]

I was wondering what you guys use to protect your honda generators while out on the lake? I do not have a topper. I havery been having some issues with mine running smooth due to filling up with snow.

Yeah definatly get it outnof the element. I had issues this weekendas well. I end up keepingin my suburban if its ur truck bok its atleast outa the wind. Snow get sucked in the intake, melts, then can feeze. Ive taken off the cover, taken of the air filter cover removed both sponge fileters and set it in front of the heater for 1/2 hour. Put it back together and runs like a champ. I also pop up a portable to set inside easy and i bet u have one.

Honda makes an extreme cold weather kit that addresses this. They run $75. to $100.

Depending on the size and if you set it on the ice, I put my 1000 watt honda on a pallet on the ice, chain it to the shack so it don't walk of and cover it with a big plastic tote with one end cut out for the muffler.

I have never had issues with exhaust facing going with the wind. maybe im just lucky.

With so many easy and cheap ways to combat this issue I'm not sure why anyone would waste their money on a cold weather kit. Myself I just put it in the back of the truck with the tunnel cover on.

I keep mine in a small Plastic sled, large enough to hold the Berg remote tank and the generator. Usually keep it in the bed of the truck and have a tonneau cover. Point the truck into the wind, have the generator sitting in the sled which is pulled out to the tailgate, no problems. A week ago I had mine stop sometime in the middle of the night and it was -14. I thought about the cold weather kit but I do run Non-oxygenated fuel and a friend suggested I add fuel antifreeze, isopropanol. Had a bottle with me and added it to both the tank and the aux and it ran great the next 36 hours even with the snow blowing hard.
