two generators hooked up, one running
On another thread, someone said that I would want to disconnect the parallel cables and plug directly into the generator if I only have one running. I haven't been doing this. Is this harmful some...

I may be the one who suggested dropping the parallel cable.. I do not believe that is necessary but it might give the O/P some "Piece of mind" in the other thead.
Fact: If you have two generators parallelled,, What are the odds of you starting both of them at PRECISELY the same time? (I'd say the word "Impossible" applies here). so clearly one of them is running wile the other is sitting there, and no damage happens.
If you run them long enough, what is the odds that one will run out of gas before the other.... Like about 100%, and once again one will be running while the other sits there.
So I would not believe it will cause a problem.. I believe Honda and the other companies that allow paralleling have designed to prevent damage.
