New Northstar generator?

[seneysolar]

Anyone have one of the new Northstar generators??
Looks like they are moving away from honda engines and have their own northstar branded fuel injection version. Advertised fuel consumption seems good for the wattage ratings.

Fuel injection is always better

Just something to consider: EFI can have its drawbacks too. More complexity = more stuff to go wrong. Fuel pump, various sensors for the EFI system, injector, etc. What are the availability of those parts if something goes wrong in 5-10 years? Carburetors are very simple and easy to fix even far into the future. Carbs can also be easily converted to propane/natural gas.
