I have a Honda gen. EM500SK. It has two double outlet GFCI (total 4 110v plugs). These are sensitive to current/voltage fluctuations and in my case I need at least one of these to be a standard no GFIC which is more reliable than the current outlets. Any idea if I can purchase non GFIC outlets from an earlier model of generator and fit them to my current generator?
