Inverter generators and Onan
There are a lot of threads on here about inverter genny's, and the main positives are quieter and clean power, OK, inverter for clean power, When buying just an inverter the standard everyone goes for...

Onan must make good money from their gensets, since they are relatively less advanced than the portable generators going for 1/4 the price, although they are engineered for a niche market so they really can't do an economy of scale.
However, it would be nice for them to go EFI and inverter based, partially so they are more resistant to fouling up, part for better fuel economy, and part for noise. We are in 2017, and 1970s generator tech needs to be updated for something that is more recent.
I wouldn't mind seeing the generator have a built in battery or supercap system, so when a heavy inrush current from an A/C or microwave hits it, the inverter is able to handle the load from that, so the actual engine doesn't have to work as hard.
