I have a honda eu3000 generator and I started it at night and in the morning it wasn't running... so I went out of the camper to see what happened... it had over half of tank if gas and the oil was full and looked clean but sounded weird when I cranked it over so I pulled the spark plug out and it had no compression?? It has 770 hours on it.

Sounded weird in what way? Big clunk is probably a broken connecting rod, whistling sound is burnt piston. Look in the plug hole-does the piston move when you crank it? can you see a hole in the piston? No compression is bad. Tell us what you see in the cylinder if you can.
How much compression was there.

Said there was "no compression"
He also said he took the spark plug out. I was wonder what the gauge said or did he just put his thumb on the hole.
It will spin fast with no plug in it.

True, hopefully they recognize that.

I found the problem... it was a stuck intake valve. But thanks for the ideas and advice!
