need to buy a portable for my truck. just need to run a small bedroom air conditioner that is rated at 550 watts. what is the noise level diff between diesel and gas? small 3000 watt gas $250 vs a 3000 watt diesel at $700. its gonna be in between my trailer and cab and in between other trucks so would like it as quite as possible. thanks

@wov44 ~~~ A friend of mine has a little Honda. I think it is called an "EU3000". It is extremely quiet. I would want one of those if I wanted quiet to run anything connected to your truck while you were in it. I also think it was an inverter type, which I understand is a better setup.

the choke was on the entire time on the yellow one

[osut688]

jumpa~ no it wasn't. It just has a poor governor setup

great job shutting it down from WIDE open full load.how long do you expect them to last?

[osut688]

robby~ there is no throttle. The sonofabitch runs wide fuckin open as soon as it starts. They don't idle down, they run WFO. I don't expect it to last. I demolished the fuckin thing last summer. What I couldn't tear up dragging it behind the truck, I smashed with a sledgehammer. Now, you got any more questions?

@animebsd i agree, i think that the people who "live" on you-tube and make negative comments....simply have no life!

The honda, kipor 3000 inverter type are nice but very very expensive and limited as to what they will power. You can not run your house on them. I run the Honda's and Kipors at our camp but have a big noisier one to run the house beacuse i need the power. I would say afer 5 years of steady use the Honda and Kipor have performed equally well. My big one which we have had for over 12 years is generac 7000xl with idle control and clean wave power. It has never let me down or burnt anything out.

@osut688 lol

@osut688 Ha ha ha. Awesome response. Many people think they know what they are talking about but they don't. Some don't even have a generator to stand behind their comments. They are having a discount sale here where I live on the Honda EU3000 SI generators. I may buy one. They run super quiet and with the inverter the power is really clean that you can power computers with it.

@wov44 ive been working on generators for about a few months now, we do gas conversions and honestly, my point of view i dont really notice the difference between gas and diesel, just the smell lol, gas it a lot cheaper to run and for quietness, ive worked on honda eu20's, they're quiet but the price is pretty high
