No need for either or. Use the same logic and process as described in the presentation called “Feeding the barbarian” which you can download from GMCMI, GMCWS or GMCCascaders and you will be able to run it from either propane or gasoline, likely with the flip of one toggle switch. Check with Honda to see if they altered the timing or compression if this was a factory propane unit. Check with propane conversion suppliers like US Carburetion in WV to see if they recommend any modification other than the dual induction. I have never heard of anything like valve damage from running propane but if so, there sure are a lot of motor homes and fifth wheels running around out there with generators of all makes and sizes happily purring along on propane that will be greatly surprised.

Wondering if anybody has been running honda ev4010 in propane?
I always hear that propane is better however i read somewhere that pinella's power claims it ruins the honda valves??
I have come accross a couple used units that are set up for propane. There is cost to convert back to gas, but i am still wondering on any damage
that may have been done by propane? Or if i would maybe stick with propane.
