All you need is a FUEL gadget that reduces the amount of fuel your car consumes

Take the accord. The sonata parts are too expensive and scarce.

The honda E2500 generator, Bought by my Dad in 1984, was hardly ever used as it was very noisy and heavy, it took 2 individuals to move it from the car garage to the front porch each time it had to be used. It was sparingly used from 1984-1986, not used from 1986-1990.

from 1991 it came to lagos, and was used intensively in an office on Allen from 1991-1998. And finally brought home for use.

That's when I got my hands on her

first problem was it was kept out doors, and didn't fare well with the elements, water got into the fuel tank, got into the electricals.

So I learnt how to clean tank and carburator, learnt how to clean coil.

Sadly I was not trained at any of this, and I guess I set the RPMs to high it was not long, engine started smoking, I had watched Uncle jamain ring our 1.3liter nissan prairie (horrible vehicle) and there were left over rings whiched I had kept for no reason.

Nah so I start o!

Open Cylinder head, remove fly wheel, the number of things I destroyed before I got to the crankshaft ehn,
is only God that will forgive me

I bought a hand file, and started filing the rings one at a time to bore size, put every thing back, took another day or 2 going to "Turner" blacksmith to re-thread all the bolts and studs that I had damaged started put everything back, and gen did not start, took another day or to for me to figure out how the ignition system worked and how adjusting the coil to low would result in no spark.

Passed that hurdle and the thing started o! No smoke for a few weeks, no oil shortage either, until one day the thing went prrrr ratatatata skibidipapa and boom boom boom engine don knock o! Connecting rod busted

Guess I had reversed the piston direction and possibly the connecting rod, and done so much harm to the engine.

Well saved up some more lunch money and headed to pencinima area with the old piston and conrod went to a generator repair shop and I got a shiny new replacement part, got home and installed it, engine ran but was rattling

Used a few days to brain storm what next I could do to reduce the rattle, I could see the excessive play on the crankshaft and new if I didn't reduce it, noise would still be there.

Out of the blues, I brought out my hand file and filed in between the mating surface of the connecting rod and it's cap excessive play gone, put every thing back again, started engine, it was quiet, I was proud of my self www.nairaland.com/attachments/6952756_screenshot20180410080548_jpeg2bfb636d8fb036f5f21715db79e64878


it is times like this I think back and laugh at some crazy things I did, there a difference between a circle, and an oval shape, the thing lasted for some time maybe 1month, but the smoke was unbearable, and I could not keep up with the oil burn costs, tried new rings, but was unable to do it like the first time with the nissan rings.

Long story short next knock was legendary, and I gave up on trying to salvage the generator.


Saved up more lunch money and other jobs, and for the first time in my life, I headed out to ladipo in the nissan.

Went into a warehouse and after long negotiations, Bought a suzuki engine that I could mate with the electric motor. Installed it, it was much quieter than the noisy honda, but the pulley was bigger and I did not understand the principles of gear ratios, so I could never figure out why with all that speed, I was getting low voltage

I got angry and sold the mechanical suzuki part to a vulcaniser down the street, and took the motor to Onyigbo and sold it for 6500 naira, in the 90's that was a lot of money I went and bought I better pass my neighbour, I used that gen at home and almost all thru university.

The end.

Generators is where my journey began.
Meanwhile, what part is giving issues? The electrical or mechanical part?

captainking:
the boss.. I want switch enter v6 oo... I need more speed.. Hehehe

captainking:
so correct.. Accord has more space.. Comfort and stability at high speeds than all the mentioned cars.. Ask any accord user..
