Inverter Generator Update?
My Yamaha Efi 2400 is 10 years old and I can't seem to get it to idle anymore, even after attempting to service it. So, time for a new QUIET generator. Looking for recommendations for a quiet gene...

Someone mentioned a honda 3000 not starting the ac. They also mentioned it was $1450 I'm thinking they had the handi 3000 which is not even close to the 3000eu.
I have played with many different honda generators and tried linking them. The 3000eu is by far the quietest generator at low loads made. I have tried 2 and 3 honda 2000's and the the 3000 is much quieter under load than the 2000's. They exhaust note is much higher pitched than the low deep note of the 3000.
I bought the new honda 7000eu to run both of my a/c's and it is great. Fuel injected and push button start. The 7000 is rated at 52-60 db and the 3000 is 49-58db. The 7000 is at 1/4 load 52db running one a/c where as the 3000 is at about 2/3 of it's limit. The 3000 does a little better on fuel and it is half the price of the 7000. The 7000 is HEAVY at 261lbs but it is a great unit if you can swing it. I had a rear rack built for mine.
