The eu2000i's engine is sized pretty close to what's needed to meet its power specs. When the altitude or temp goes much above the spec'd conditions, the engine doesn't produce enough power for the spec'd power ratings.
2. Why does a generator care about high ambient temperatures? It's either staying cool enough to not destroy itself or it will eventually stop for good.
