HEREI know it takes more to start it up, but I get favorable reports about Honda's EU2000 being able to handle it, so I'm hoping the Yamaha is up to the task. That, however, is based on gasoline. I won't know for a fact until I drop the coin and try it, unless somebody already knows otherwise. In that case, I'm all ears.
Thanks for bringing it up. It's an important consideration. I'm still on the fence about the value of the conversion, but I'm pretty sold on the Yamaha EF2000. Size and weight being big factors, of course. We have a 5000 watt generator at home that would require a very special occassion for me to lug it around.
EDIT: Update - Largely due to their dealer/parts accessibility and an easy extended run fuel tank, I bought a new, Honda EU2000 Companion from my local Honda dealer for $999 out the door. This was during Virginia's Hurricane Preparedness Tax Vacation. After getting a price over the phone, I asked the sales guy about them honoring the zero taxes on generators under $1,000. He started laughing because he thought I was joking. I told him to Google it and call me back. He called back. I went in and picked it up, no taxes. They didn't charge me their $49 "set-up" fee, either. I was the one laughing when he mentioned putting oil and gas in it for 49 bucks. Nice try. They put the oil and gas in it and fired it up, anyway.
