I fired it off outside the shop where I use to run the Kipor to exercise it.
I had it on fast speed. It sounded slightly quieter, but then I questioned myself. You know like the folks that brag because they have to justify the money they spent. HeHe
I ran it about 5min and then said Well lets hook it up. 
I put it on the boat and where it is sitting the exhaust is 3ft from the back wall of the shop. So being in a in closed shop [doors open] I hooked up and fired it off.
It really wasn't all that loud. I threw both switches at the same time. This brings all 4 lights online at once. [Each switch controls 2 lights]
I could not do that with the Kipor. It would trip the breaker. I would turn on one switch and then wait about 1.5min and throw the other switch. I had the idle switch in Full run.
Then I thought let's see what happens if I move the Idle switch to Idle?
I could do that with the Kipor, but with the load on it, it made no difference. It still run at Full throttle. The idle switch did work fine on the Kipor.
Now on the Honda it really idled down. Not as low as it goes with no load, but you could sure tell a difference in the DB level. If I had to guess, I'd say it was running at 1/4 to 1/3 throttle.
So it will be quieter and get more hrs per tank full.

| Hey X Shark, Is your Kipor a 2000kw and is it an invertor in a yellow case?
