No, generators like the A-iPower 2,000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator # 289-SUA2000i are only going to work when hooked up together if they are the same brand.
Since your current inverter generator is no longer made, your best option is to upgrade your setup with something like the A-iPower 3,800-Watt Portable Inverter Generators # 289-SUA2000i-2.
This setup includes 2 30 amp adapters, 2 DC charging cables, 2 spark plug wrenches, 2 oil funnels and will produce up to 3,800 watts of power when paralleled.
