I used and abused two of them in construction one is a 5000w and a smaller one 1250W I believe . Both 4 stroke , The small one starts no matter how cold, Iv'e had to give it a little sniff of either a time or two when it was brutal cold but it fired up. The 5000W gets stiff and a hard pull when it is cold so I used a blanket and a light bulb to keep them both warm at night and they always started and ran just fine. I haven't started a Honda in cold weather so nothing to compare with, Will a Honda fire up when it's -25 ? I'd guess mine are both close to 15 years old and still run good other than being a little beat up faded from the sun. I always bought junk when working abroad because thieves only steal expensive shit. When I treated myself to a new Miller bobcat welder I only got to use it a couple of times before the dirty gdfkn thieves claimed it.
