Well, Here I go downsizing again (aint technology great) my max power requirement is now 66.9 watts.
This is the smallest Inverter generator I have found and did have some odd quirks like very short pull rope, a fuel overflow that dumps onto the muffler and oil you typically only use in Diesel engines 15/40.
Well, once I got it going and made sure it all worked and it did very well (quiet little bugger), I made the changes needed especially to the overflow which does like Honda and the Yamaha, run to the outside of the generator like the BIG BOYS!

All in all time will tell, but thus far it will do the job, now anybody need a brand new (2 year old but only 15 minutes run time)
Yamaha Inverter EF1000iS generator....$750.00 delivered!

How quiet compared to a Honda eu2000i. Seems like it would be great for battery bank charging. Price is right!

At 25% which is where I am using it I would say in the mid 40 db at 6 feet and it drops off very fast, with a barrier like a bush it's almost unheard at 10 feet.

I got mine via Walmart who gets it from Wayfair, cost me in Wash State 315.00 and NO tax but it got better, they delivered it to the wrong house and when I contacted them they knocked $35.00 off the price so I got it for $280.00.

Neat thing is, it is so small it's on the shelf in the kitchen, gonna do some more testing tomorrow, might actually run a tank of gas through it 0.37 gal, and do a time check.

It would also go very well as a centerpiece on the dinner table, if I had one!

So far so good though.
