Hi there, No this is one of the 1995 era Honda's 6kW. However the propane conversion can be done to ANY gasoline motor. The kit I bought replaces the float bowl on the carb with a solid piece of aluminium that mates up just like the old float bowl!! Also included was a regulator to supply just enough Propane to the motor. The float valve that was in the old carb is unneeded and removed. I mounted the generator and 20lb Propane BBQ tank to a metal cart that I can roll out in a moments notice!!!

I bought all of this the day after the Northridge Earthquake!!!
That was a helluva wake up call!!

Google Propane conversions you should find kits for almost any engine. I looked in the Phone book back then and was able to find a company that sold these kits in about 3 or 4 phone calls!!

Good Luck de Pat KK6PD
