You had to say it......
Just like a Honda, except you have tinkered with it to make it run better.....
And a Honda will run a 55 amp converter, full load in boost mode, the CPE will not.
You may like you're generator, but it's no Honda.
You're right. It's not a Honda. :S
Dollar for dollar, and working with the company. It's a pretty good bargain.
Having experience with the Honda 2000i at the firehouse no doubt it is a great machine. We overloaded it at a fire scene last week. 500 watts of lights and a ventilation fan. It is an older fan, numbers are missing from it. But we overloaded it. No harm, no foul. Unplugged everything and restarted it. We moved the fan to a more powerful generator...the one built in to the ladder truck hydraulic power take off system and 100ft of 12 guage cord. We left the lights with the Honda generator for ease of portability for the investigation.
As a note to the person who referenced possibly being able to shut the Honda off for quick moment and then back on before the motor comes to a complet stop...to avoid having to pull the recoil, I could see that. The overload light went out before the motor came to a complete stop, but I missed the moment.
