I would just like everyone to be considerate of there neighors at the track. <Snipped>
Sorry if this comes across wrong but it has ruined more than a few weekends.

Amen to that. I hate listening to a noisy damn engine all day, and sometimes all night, long.

Don&#39;t know why a 3KW unit wouldn&#39;t run your pancake generator, Bill. My 2.5KW Suzuki runs my pancake ($89 HF special) just fine.

BTW, for a reference point, the Suz isn&#39;t as noisy as most. Not Honda quiet, but not nearly B&S or Tucumsa (sp?) loud. I don&#39;t know what they cost, I got mine used when someone added A/C to their trailer and needed a bigger unit. I don&#39;t have A/C in my trailer; 2.5KW has been enough for anything I&#39;ve wanted to run.

Any thoughts/experience on the noise level of the Robin engines? Harbor Freight has pretty good deals on generators using that engine.
