Interesting point on the load prior to switching over. I had not considered that at all. The Yamaha does not give the capability to switch off the Eco-mode like on the Hondas, so it is running at low throttle when no load is applied. I agree it would be helpful if it were running at a higher throttle to start with.
What Yamaha do you have? My Yamaha 2000 has an eco on/off switch.
All generators throttle up/down depending on load, regardless of whether they have eco or not.
I think what people mean is that Eco mode lowers both throttle AND rpms.
All generators throttle up and down under load is true, but only those with Eco mode will change rpms.....and those must be inverter models that convert 12v to AC. 1800 rpm diesels and 3600 rpm non inverter gas gens will throttle up and down the actual throttle blade of the carb (yeah yeah diesels) but the rpms stay constant to keep the correct voltage/waveform.
