generator question [RE-wrenches]

[Ezra Auerbach, Xantrex]

Hi all,

After many iteration of generator, including my current one which I wouldn't
recommend I would say the single most important factor in choosing a
generator (excepting appropriate size) is engine speed.  Go for the 1800 rpm
models and your customer will ultimately be better served.
