1996 Honda EG2200X Generator Repairs - Part 1 of 2

[@maddmaxx636]

The ultrasonic cleaner for Harbor freight is nice! Ive used mine to clean my motorcraft 2150 and a few other carbs as well as some bolts when fixing my ford ranger. Ive used Dawn, Purple Power, Simple Green, Water and Vinegar (When removing rust. Or trying to). I tried carb cleaner but it kinda messed up the finish of the cleaner. Made it rough and kinda worried me that it would do more damage. In other words, Dont use it.

I actually picked up one of these generators for free. It wasn't running. Cleaned out carb jets and it fired right up. I do have 2 questions though. 1) Is this an inverter generator? 2) Does anyone know if this is a floating neutral generator? I can't see anywhere in the owner's manual wiring diagram where Ground and Neutral are bonded.....which would be quite unsafe anytime it's NOT being back fed into a house (a house service panel would provide the N-G bond). My layman understanding is a Hot to Ground fault with a floating Neutral generator would NOT trip a breaker. I've read that it may be possible for an inverter generator to bond Ground & Neutral at the inverter.......but it's beyond my limited electrical circuit knowledge to know if that is happening in this generator based on what I see in the wiring diagram. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
