Default Diesel Inverter Generators

No....sorry. I've never seen one, probably because the diesel is
heavy and the reason for the inverter is lightness. I have two
Hondas, the EU1000i and just got a new EU3000is you can barely hear
run.

The other reason they probably haven't produced them is the low power.
The 3000is is the largest inverter I know of. 3KW and a very limited
market wouldn't make it worth their while.

Hope you like your Yammer. The Honda EU3000is is the finest genset I
ever owned. It will run over 20 hours on its 3.4 gallon fuel tank
driving an average load around 750-850 watts. Its economizer doesn't
even raise the engine rpm above the 1200 RPM low speed until you get
to around 1800 watt load. Simply amazing.

Do any manufacturers make portable inverter diesel generators that
vary the engine speed based on load? Something similar to the Yamaha
EF1000IS?
