Another criterion for judging generators is the quality of the electrical output. How closely is it regulated and how close to true sine wave does it get. Is the Kipor of Chinese manufacture? COSTCO has a generator which resembles a Honda, but is made in China. In Honda small engine products, it pays to purchase those with a CX engine. These are made for commercial use and can be recognized by their white gas tanks.

Either way, I'm off those little Honda generators for life. That wasn't The only design flaw that I spotted in them. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
