Yamaha EF2000iS Generators
I'm about to buy two Yamaha EF2000iS Generators, plus the parallel cable. Does anyone have any experience with this setup good or bad? Thanks.

I have (2) Yamaha 2000. I love them. I did alot of research as I was interesed in buying the Honda as well. The reasons I choose the Yamaha are:
- The Yamaha has a fuel gauge.
- The Yamaha has a easy to access fuel shut off. (I have had fuel issues with the Honda 2000s).
- The Yamaha has a longer "rated" life
- The valve timing mechanisim was better on the Yamaha ( I forget now exactly what is was, Honda uses a belt.
Both are execellent machines and it took me some time and effort to decide, but I am happy with my choice. Check out Wise Sales online they have alot of information and are excellent to buy from.
As for using the generators I use the parrallel cables and run both units when using the AC (econo swithes off on both units) and if I don't need all that power I can run a single unit in econo mode and you can barely here it. One recomendation I have if you buy two units is get the hour meters I use the meters to equal out the run time.
