Nice to be able to drive it around from place to place instead of having to lug the portable around.
No automatic throttle control. Don’t think that would work to good for running the house during power outages. Either leave it running WOT or have to go out and throttle up whenever I need power? Don’t like that idea.
Any thought would be greatly appreciated.

You already have a quiet, reliable generator that works and is paid for (?).
It has the AUTOMATIC throttle control and may/may not run your whole house on demand.
I have a 5kw Honda generator that had a wheel kit on it. I just simply fabbed up a tongue and welded it to the generator frame. Just hook it to a cub of your choice, drive it where you want it and your two problems are solved.
About 12 years ago I bought a combo AC generator/arc welder. I believe it has a 14 hp K series Kohler on it. Output maybe 4kw. Don't remember. I do know it worked to power a right angle grinder when I bought it. I also remember I had to adjust the engine rpm to get the voltage right.
It could be up for a trade for the right deal.
