pros
no worries about varnish build up in carburetor
oil changes less frequently
spark plugs last a lot longer.
I'd get a trifuel one--so that natural gas could be used.
Just have fun!
I like the propane option but:
- At least locally, the cost difference is negligible.
- The bigger challenge is obtaining and carrying enough propane if you will be using the generator for any length of time. I don't want to use the house tanks.
If you are just using it for an hour or two for battery charging not a big deal but if you are running it for 8-10hr per day, it starts becoming an issue.
What I can't believe is honda hasn't started putting it out as a factory option.
