Default generators in parallel

I know the Honda generators have a parallel cord, but think that is for the
inverter type. *The ones I have are made by two differant companies and just
the inexpensive kind that sell for around $ 600 *to $ 800 at most stores.


I dont think you can do it safely knowing how the govenors are not
very good on 5000w gasolene units. Hondas EU have minimal V swing so
its a different animal. Maybe 1v vs 3-15 v swing from Honda EU to
regular cheap units.
