But that’s not to say it isn’t a relatively quiet generator, especially when running at a lower load. At full load the whine adds some dB to the overall loudness, but it’s certainly…
Good for the price! I broke in the generator using James Lummel’s advice in a review below (Thanks James).

I noticed it runs very well under load but does not run well…

Ran this little bugger 24/7 for almost 100 days minus time for oil changes, valve adjustment, etc…before the…
