IMO the inverter generator is getting more power from the same displacement engine by spinning it faster. The eu2000i, for example, runs at a top engine speed of 5,000 rpm instead of being constrained to 3,600.
WOW - I did not realize the upper RPM was 5,000! For some reason I thought it was 4,000. I just cannot imagine running a small generator engine over 5,000 RPM and having it hold up without a full flow pressurized lubrication system along with stronger rods and bearing construction.
Just for information. At what speed (rpm) does the new Champion 2000i operate giving full output. If it runs at 5000 rpm or maybe plus, will it not come apart at the seams. Is this not the same engine used in their small 1200w gen running at 3600 rpm?
The one question remains, will the new Champion 2000w/1600w Inverter operate the 1200w micro. Like the old saying 'either it will or it won't. The folks at Champion have used Honda and Yamaha to compare the new Champion Inverter.
