Parallel Honda EU2000i and Ryobi 2000
Has anyone tried this yet? Cables seem to fit but am looking for someone else to Guinea Pig as if I do, it will blow the Honda and not the Ryobi. Thanks

Unverified opinion: If the Ryobi's output voltage and frequency are within the Honda specs the eu2000i should sync up with it. There shouldn't be any risk of damage (remember: opinion). The major problem I see that applies trying to sync a Honda inverter generator with any other is that Honda seems to stand alone with an output voltage at or near 128. This would mean that the two generators wouldn't share the load very gracefully, with the Honda carrying all of the load until it's close to being maxed out and its voltage gets pulled down. The subject Ryobi is the only currently available non-Honda/Yamaha generator I know of that parallels without the used of a sync line in its parallel cable. When Kipor did this years ago, Honda jumped all over them and the product got withdrawn from the market. Makes me wonder if Ryobi is licensing the technology from Honda and/or Yamaha, or if they're about to feel the wrath of Honda's lawyers?
