NIck Houser--Off Grid Power  Jeff---If they stopped production on this 
model (Kohler RMY 6.5) Thank God! I was warned about it but my customer 
had his heart set on it and boy was that a mistake. Cost me nothing but 
time and trouble. The main problem with is is it's inability to maintain 
voltage and frequency in shifting load conditions. Causes the Trace to 
disconnect and throw an error message. Thankfully, its nearly worn out 
now (AT around 1200 hours!) and when it dies I'll throw a party. Beware!
